The Knockout 'game'

[Nook]

I do realize this issue was already featured once already on SOTT but the increase in cases and severity, maybe another would be worthwhile putting up?

Sott article: http://www.sott.net/article/268985-Deadly-knockout-game-trend-returns
Mentioned here in November: http://cassiopaea.org/forum/index.php/topic,33155.msg456302.html#msg456302

A video report on it also from November: _http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liatWFj5COk

And the main reason I decided to start a new topic on this issue, is this article: _http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/12/27/22074834-texan-charged-with-hate-crime-for-knockout-game-hit-denied-bail

The white Texas man facing federal hate crime charges for allegedly slugging a 79-year-old black man in a “knockout game” assault was denied bail Friday for an attack prosecutors say was racially motivated.

During a hearing in U.S. District Court in Houston, U.S. Magistrate Judge Frances Stacy said suspect Conrad Barrett, 27, is a flight risk and danger to the community, according to Barrett’s lawyer, George Parnham.

So it's not only teenagers anymore that are of concern as potential attackers. And the victim of this particular knockout was a 79-year old man...It's very disturbing and alarming to say the least..
