[New York City] Community leaders in East New York say that jobs are the answer to ending the so-called “knockout” game.
First the insufferable liberal media denials – (USA TODAY) Various news organizations are refuting the existence of an alleged phenomenon known as the “knockout game” that has been the subject of media warnings in recent weeks.
According to reports by CNN, the Today show, this news organization and others, the game takes place when a young person randomly assaults a stranger in an attempt to knock them out with one punch.
But police officials in several cities where the attacks have been reported say the knockout game is an urban myth, and that attacks that have received recent attention in the media have been random assaults, the New York Times is reporting.
“We’re trying to determine whether or not this is a real phenomenon,” the news organization quotes New York police commissioner Raymond Kelly as saying. “I mean, yes, something like this can happen. But we would like to have people come forward and give us any information they have.” (more…)
There are times when you read something in the media so completely flawed in its construction that a response is demanded.
It takes a remarkably highly toxic injection of obtuse to drag me back into the Zimmerman V. Martin conversation, but this recent article by Leonard Pitts Jr hits just the right formulation to require such a response.
Leonard Pitts Jr.: Trayvon Martin or George Zimmerman – who’s the real thug?
Pitts writes “[…] a conservative movement which argues with airy assurance that American racism died long ago, disproves its thesis with its actions“; as he outlines how, in his perspective, any attempt to deconstruct the false media narrative around the Trayvon Martin shooting is evidence, by itself, of racist intent on behalf of the deconstructor.
In order to totally miss the point, completely avoid the actual motive of the critical engagement, and allow himself to assign racist intentions, Mr. Pitts continues this level of critical race analysis by saying:
“[…] Why did some of us need Trayvon to be an angel in the first place? Why did they feel such a pressing urgency to magnify — and manufacture — his failings? Why was it so important to them to make him unworthy of sympathy?” (link)
Your question can be answered in one word Mr. Pitts, honesty.

Can you just imagine what the media would do with a white Mayor who yells at his black police officers “you f*cking niggers”? Think about it…
MONTICELLO, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — A video recording has shown the mayor of the Sullivan County municipality of Monticello in a heated confrontation after being arrested by his own police officers.

At the Wisconsin State Fair in 2011 the Modern Version of the racially driven Knock Out Game began. Throughout 2011, 2012 and 2013 the attacks continued with exponential fury in St. Louis, Atlanta, Baltimore, Virginia Beach, Miami, New York, Philadelphia and New Jersey.
The actual behavior comes under several differing geographic names. “Knock Out Game”, “Polar Bear Hunting”, “Flash Mob” or just “Cracking”.
The most famous perpetrator of such an attack was a 17-year-old named Trayvon Martin. Martin’s victim did not get knocked out in the first punch. You probably never actually knew about it, because the media chose to highlight the action of the white-Hispanic victim who shot his thug attacker in the heart as he defended himself.
However, recently the media began to catch on because several back-to-back attacks in New York and Washington DC have been highlighted. Fox and CBS news began pointing out the specific intents of these crimes and the injury and deaths they have caused. (more…)
(Via New York Post) People are puzzled: Why would Barack Obama have lied about how wonderfully everything was going to go with ObamaCare when officials in his administration knew perfectly well that disaster was going to strike?
In one sense, the answer is simple: At the time, just before Oct. 1, Republicans were insisting ObamaCare be delayed or defunded. The president and his team weren’t going to give the enemy the satisfaction of agreeing — or the potent ammunition that would have come from a rueful admission the system wasn’t ready.
Today, a bipartisan agreement to delay ObamaCare seems like it would have been a pretty good deal. It didn’t look that way at all in the last two weeks of September.
But there’s a deeper reason he and his people lied: They did it because they could. They did it because nearly five years in the White House had given Obama and his team confidence they would not face the music and they could finesse the problems until they got fixed. (more…)
Last August we outlined a murder of a young female college student, Megan Boken, in St. Louis, Missouri. She was sitting in her parked car when a black male, Keith V. Esters, 18, approached her, shot her twice, then jumped into a car driven by another black male and took off.
It was broad daylight, 2:15pm on a Saturday afternoon – on a busy public street at St. Louis University.
Three general red flags were noted: •At the time of the shooting the media refused to publish the race of the attackers. •In addition the motive was continually declared as “robbery” despite the fact that nothing was taken from the victim. •St Louis has a long history of being unwilling to identify black on white crimes as racially driven.
Here’s the Update: ST. LOUIS • One of two teenagers charged in the Central West End murder of former St. Louis University volleyball player Megan Boken pleaded guilty this afternoon and was sentenced to 50 years in prison.
The main charge against Keith V. Esters, 19, of Bel-Ridge, was reduced to second-degree murder from first-degree. He also pleaded guilty of attempted robbery and two counts of armed criminal action. (more…)
(Daily Mail) The 14-year-old student accused of murdering his teacher also raped her with an ‘object’ before dumping her body, it was alleged in court on Thursday.
Danvers High School student Philip Chism was indicted in a Massachusetts court on charges of murder, aggravated rape and armed robbery in the slaying of his math teacher Colleen Ritzer on October 22.
Authorities believe Chism, a soccer standout, followed Ritzer into a second-floor bathroom after school armed with a box cutter, stabbed her, wheeled her body outside in a large recycling bin and dumped it in the woods behind the school. (more…)
First off, it’s Katie Couric, OK. That should be a big enough flashy sign ! But the gag-a-maggot obfuscation, condescension, manipulation and sheer prog smarminess in this video is enough to require auto computer disconnect technology hooked up to a blood pressure cuff.
But if you dare to watch it keep a barf bag handy and put away all sharp or movable objects first. YOU’VE BEEN WARNED !
The media are finally catching on; well, sort of. We have been highlighting the “knock out game” or, as it is called regionally “Polar Bear Hunting” since it’s origin in the summer of 2011.
The actual behavior, black youths punching random white pedestrians and posting the results to their social media networks, began during the Wisconsin State Fair in 2011 – it spread from there to cities and states coast to coast.
The media have picked up on the behavior but they are avoiding pointing out the racial aspect. All the thugs are black males, and all the victims are white.
