knockout game racism

[blugiant]

Media does not have to stereotype, there are clearly enough examples of black youth not only killing each other in record numbers across the US, but killing white people also, and that goes largely ignored by the media. White on black crime is brought to the forefront of every major news outlet, because it's fashionable to do so.

There have been three brutal murders and one brutal attack in the Baltimore area in the last month.

All were black on white crime. It is what it is Blu. I keep telling you that DEAD BODIES are evidence. You can't make that up.

Man gave up all his valubles, did not resist. Youth beat him in the face with brick, just because.



Shooter was black youth, killed two white people.



14 yr old and 15 yr old black youths murder defenseless white woman in her home. This was the second time they broke into her home.



And we have 27 murders in Baltimore ALREADY in 2014...culprits are all black youth

Matt Drudge's Latest "Knockout Game" Falls Apart in Strange Fashion


When two black men were accused of assaulting a white couple on the Charlottesville, Virginia, mall last month, the right-wing shriek machine immediately seized on the incident as the latest "knockout game" attack—a Drudge-fed race panic in which feral black youth are purportedly sucker-punching nice white people around the nation without reason or warning. But local law enforcement now says that the men were in fact incited by a verbal confrontation with the couple—a confrontation some witnesses say was related to their gayness.

The assault of Marc Adams and Jeanne Doucette, both 39, in Charlottesville's famous downtown market on December 20 went viral, largely because of Adams' and Doucette's efforts: In a long piece by C-Ville Weekly—complete with shaky cellphone photos Doucet had shot of the attack—the pair insisted they'd been savaged for no reason at all, and the police were dragging their feet:

Doucette said she threw her purse at the men, hoping that when they saw the cash inside they'd simply take the money and leave, but they had no apparent interest in robbing her. Instead, she said, they seemed to delight in the brutality.

"They were laughing, high-fiving, hugging, and then returning to kick [Adams]," said Doucette. "There was some kind of camaraderie to it."...

Doucette said she had never seen the men before and there was nothing in her behavior or Adams' that would have provoked the assault. Both victims wondered whether the episode was an example of the so-called "knock-out game," in which assailants randomly strike an innocent passerby with the goal of rendering them unconscious.

The story, predictably, was titled "Knockout." Elsewhere, Doucette told a similar story: "They didn't want to rob us. They wanted to beat us. It was like it was enjoyable to them to beat us...There was camaraderie to it."

The "knockout game" is a starter log for the inferno of white terror that burns in conservative media circles, and stoker-in-chief Matt Drudge linked to the Charlottesville story this week:

No arrests in brutal 'knockout' attack on Christmas-lit downtown mall... http://t.co/jzZY4nxjRM

— DRUDGE REPORT (@DRUDGE_REPORT) December 30, 2013

From there, it became a part of the Knockout Game master narrative.

Except the Charlottesville police concluded this week that nothing of the sort happened. "Despite the characterization that's been made that this was in fact a knockout [game], there was nothing in support of this investigation that would lead us to believe that that's the case," Police Chief Tim Longo told reporters in announcing assault and battery charges against the two black assailants, Richard Spears, 23, and Malcolm Stevenson, 25.

Longo also contradicted key parts of the victims' stories. Adams and Doucette had been walking along the mall after drinking, when Adams stumbled and fell. Spears, Stevenson and another man allegedly laughed at him, at which point Adams exchanged words with the men. "We don't know what those statements were," Longo said, but "what began as a verbal confrontation between two evolved into a physical altercation." Adams ended up thrown to the ground, punched repeatedly, and Doucette was injured when she tried to intervene.

What words could possibly have provoked the beating meted out to Adams and Doucette? David McNair, a local reporter and editor who maintains the DTM, a blog about Charlottesville's downtown mall, did some extra legwork and came up with a possible explanation:

As previously reported by the DTM, two separate sources, who wished to remain anonymous, but who were questioned by detectives in the investigation, said that Doucette told people that Adams had "said something that provoked the men." Longo did not offer any specifics on what might have been said, saying it was "not really clear what the exchange had been." As previously reported, sources the DTM spoke to said the attackers were known to be gay, and that they may have been angered by specific comments uttered by Adams and/or Doucette. Indeed, Stevenson, who delivered the majority blows to Adams, has a profile on a social media website called spring.me, under the handle "luverangel," on which he reveals that he knew he was gay when he was 12-years old. Stevenson also appears in a video of the former Hook Newspaper's "Question of the Week" feature, answering a question in May, 2011 about what he was going to do for the summer.

For his part, Police Chief Longo told reporters that he'd seen "nothing to indicate there was any other bias intent on any side." But that was in response to a question about whether racial slurs had passed between the parties before the attack, and after all, Longo conceded that police "don't know exactly what the verbal exchange was."

There was also this: Longo said that after the attack, "Mr. Adams did not participate in the initial investigation. He refused to provide his personal information or any account of what happened." He also refused medical treatment at the scene. Stevenson and Spears, on the other hand, "came together to turn themselves in," Longo said, adding: "They were cooperative and they acknowledged their presence there that night."

I emailed McNair to ask him how solid his sources were, and whether he thought homophobia had been a factor in the attack.

"At this point, I have a number of good sources telling me that Stevenson and Spears are gay, and that they believe that they were reacting to racist and/or homophobic comments made by the victims, and my gut tells me that is true," he wrote. "But, of course, I can't really confirm that." He added that the accused attackers have agreed to speak with him soon, and they may help shed some light on his theory.

The men "were originally portrayed and perceived as gangsta thugs," McNair says, and their gayness is "something I imagine will screw with the minds of all the people who went ahead and assumed that."

I distill that I need to take precautions in Baltimore or any other predominate area that is populated by black youth to keep from being a victim.

If it's cold outside I wear a coat or I don't go outside. If it's raining I carry an umbrella. It depends on exposure to the element that causes the problem.

Alleged Victim of the “Knockout Game” Was Actually a Victim of Domestic Violence

By Amanda Marcotte




As my colleague Emma Roller reported previously on Slate, the "knockout game," in which young black men randomly hit white people in an effort to knock them out, is not a real epidemic. That didn't stop an explosion of media stories, often based on the thinnest of evidence, chronicling this supposed trend in November. Now one of the alleged victims, a St. Louis woman named Ashley DePew, who claimed she was attacked in a "knockout game," has been exposed for lying. According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and other local outlets, police say that what really happened is that her boyfriend hit her, and she borrowed the popular urban legend in order to cover for his crime.

You couldn't come up with a better encapsulation of how American perceptions of crime are skewed. Domestic violence has gotten more media attention the past couple of decades, but it's still a chronically underreported crime, and most people remain unaware of how widespread the problem is. Victims like DePew routinely conceal what's really going on. In contrast, of course, you have the outrage and hysteria over an imaginary crime that seems dreamed up for no other purpose than stoking racist anxieties. And the fact that the media and its audience buy into it allows real criminals to borrow these myths about black violence to get away with their very real crimes.

This is hardly the first time that a racial hoax has been used by someone trying to conceal their own violence. In 1989, Charles Stuart murdered his pregnant wife and blamed it on anonymous black men, stoking racial tension in the Boston area just as the "knockout game" is doing now. In 1994, Susan Smith murdered her sons and trotted out the same lie to the police and the media. In other cases, people make up imaginary attacks by black men for money, attention, or, as University of Florida law professor Katheryn Russell-Brown told NPR, even just to get time off of work. (Russell-Brown classifies the Duke lacrosse hoax, an unusual one because the accuser was black and the accused were white, as a racial hoax as well.) In one particularly surreal case in 2008, a young female John McCain supporter claimed a black man randomly carved the letter "B" into her face as a kind of Obama campaign sign. Turns out she did it to herself, which helped explain why the letter was backwards. And while not a hoax, it was the late-'80s hysteria over "wilding" that created an atmosphere in which five young men were wrongly convicted in the Central Park jogger rape case.

Racial hoaxes create vicious little cycles. The person who perpetrates one borrows from pre-existing narratives about out-of-control black men committing violence, and by doing so, grows and feeds the illusion that young black men are dangerous. When the truth comes out, it's often too little too late. The hysteria has set in and the damage is done. Most people, months and years from now, will remember the "knockout game" but forget the hoax. Which means that the next time some guy beats up his girlfriend, they can just blame it on a black kid again.

Black fashion student says Hasidic men attacked him, shouted anti-gay slurs in Williamsburg

'He told me to ‘stay down, f----t, stay the f--- down.' ' - Taj Patterson, a New York City College of Technology student, says more that a dozen ultra-Orthodox Jewish men brutalized him on Flushing Ave.



A black fashion student says he was brutally attacked by a gang of Hasidic men who shouted anti-gay slurs at him while he was walking through Williamsburg after a night of partying, the Daily News has learned.

Taj Patterson, 22, was headed home to Fort Greene around 4:30 a.m. on Dec. 1 when he says more than a dozen ultra-Orthodox Jewish men began assaulting him on Flushing Ave. and yelling, “Stay down, f----t!”

“I’m walking down some block by myself and then the next thing I know, I’m surrounded by a group of Hasidic Jewish men and they’re attacking me,” Patterson said. “I was alone. I was an easy target. I’m black. I’m gay, a whole slew of reasons.”

The New York City College of Technology student left for a fun night out with friends, and returned with a broken eye socket, a torn retina, blood clotting, and cuts and bruises to his knee and ankles.

He was rushed to Woodhull Hospital and is expected to undergo surgery to reattach his retina.

The NYPD confirmed Monday night that the hate crimes unit is investigating the assault.

Patterson was “highly intoxicated, uncooperative and incoherent,” after the assault, according to a police complaint — but he remembers the ringleader.

“There was a crowd around him, cheering him on and getting him rowdy, and he would grab me and push me against the wall,” Patterson said.

While the instigator was kicking him in the face, “he told me to ‘stay down, f----t, stay the f--- down,’ ” Patterson recalled. “And that’s really all I can remember of that.”

Evelyn Keys, an MTA bus driver, was rounding the corner of Flushing Ave. and Spencer St. when she saw the horrific attack unfold before her eyes.

“I get out of the bus and all these men were standing up straight around him,” says Keys. “Taj is laying down on his back. I went up to him and he was in so much pain. He says, ‘I can’t see . . . I can’t breathe.’ ”

Patterson’s mother, Zahra Patterson, 52, said she now fears for her son’s safety.

“I mean, we’ve been living in this community for close to 30 years, so you’re telling me my son can’t walk there anymore?” she said. “You cannot attack people walking down the street.”

The 'knockout game' faux media trend has finally jumped the shark


By Robin Abcarian




Oh my God! Parents, quick, lock up your black sons!

There’s a roving gang of Hasidim in Brooklyn randomly beating up blacks!

It’s happened at least once, and it could definitely happen again. And it seemed like it might have been a game, or part of a possible trend. Or … whatever. It’s proof for sure of white hatred and resentment against black people.

I could go on here, but you get my overheated point.

The “knockout game,” a faux trend promulgated by media outlets who have deliberately or unthinkingly bought into racial stereotypes about black teenagers has kind of jumped the shark. A couple of weeks ago, the echo chambers of talk radio were awash in rants about how black teens were randomly attacking white people, and how a media cowed by the forces of political correctness refused to reveal the attackers’ race or call the assaults racial hate crimes.

People have definitely been attacked, no question about that. A woman on a bicycle in Washington, D.C., was hit in the face. Several Jewish people in New York City were victims of random assaults.

But there’s nothing to suggest there is a trend of black teenagers attacking whites, then uploading cellphone videos of the mayhem, as has been claimed.

So what to make of the Williamsburg attack, in which, according to news reports, a group of Hasidic Jews allegedly set upon 22-year-old Taj Patterson, who is a black fashion student? Patterson said the men surrounded him and shouted anti-gay slurs.

Gays, as it happens, are the group at greatest risk for hate crime attacks of any sort. So why don't we call random assaults of gays "knockout" attacks, because that might put a brighter media spotlight on a real trend, as opposed to a made-up one.

In any case, now we're starting to hear stories that serve as correctives to all the “knockout game” racial baloney that’s out there.

St. Louis, for instance, was taken for a ride last month when a young woman claimed to have been the victim of a knockout attack, and her case got nationwide coverage.

A few weeks later, however, St. Louis police said 23-year-old Ashley DePew had fabricated the story to protect her boyfriend, who had assaulted her. That doesn’t make her any less a victim, but it does mean that credulous media tend to buy into a prevailing narrative. To its credit, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, which was suspicious about inconsistencies in DePew's story, did not report the assault as a "knockout game" attack.)

The hoax was a particularly cruel joke to play on St. Louis, where in 2011, a spate of “knockout” style assaults by teenagers actually did plague the city. One resulted in the death of a Vietnamese immigrant named Hoang Nguyen, and another took place in front of the mayor.

Police believed some of the assaults were inspired by a 16-year-old boxer from a local gym whose nickname was “the Knockout King” and who told police he created the “game” out of boredom. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch published a detailed story about the phenomenon, focusing on a case against seven juvenile defendants that fell apart when the prosecution’s star witness, a 13-year-old girl, failed to show up in court.

But that was St. Louis. And it was more than two years ago. And it does not prove there’s a race war being waged on white people by black teenagers.

Even James Addlespurger, the Pittsburgh, Pa., teacher who has become a poster child for the current “knockout game” hysteria says it’s all a bunch of hooey.

Surely, you’ve seen the video; as he walks down an alley, he is cold-cocked by a 15-year-old. Captured on surveillance tape, the assault became Exhibit A in the last month’s burst of media coverage of the so-called game. And even though the crime took place in 2011, the tape has been revived (and revived and revived) for the current round of fear-mongering.

“I feel I am being exploited,” Addlespurger said in an interview Sunday with HuffPostLive. “People are using it to push their own agendas, and that’s what people do.”

HuffPostLive showed Addlespurger a clip of Fox News host Bill O’Reilly spouting racist pseudo-sociology to explain the attack: “It all goes back to the alienation of black men. They are angry, they didn’t have a family and their father abandoned them…. They’re acting out on the street, they’re sold a bill of goods by the civil rights people that the white society is at fault.… But with the Internet and the notoriety, this thing could really could get out of control.” (I’m so tempted to add: “he said hopefully.”)

Addlespurger, 51, who was bloodied and bruised in the Oct. 4, 2011, attack, refused to buy into the racial stereotyping. “I am not going to fan those flames of hatred,” he told HuffPost Live. “They are using me to push their agenda…. I am being manipulated.”

Even the teenager who attacked him rejects the knockout game/race war narrative.

Dajour Washington, now 16, was convicted of aggravated assault and served nine months in a juvenile facility. On Nov. 25, Washington appeared on ABC’s “Nightline.” The program did not use his name or show his face, but he has been identified repeatedly by Pittsburgh media.

Washington told “Nightline” that he socked Addlespurger impulsively, to show off for his friends. “It was just like, ‘Let me knock this guy out, let me hit him’ — basically like showing off to let them know I could fight.”

Addlespurger’s race was not a factor, he said, and he had never heard of the “knockout game.”

“I’m going to be completely honest with you,” Washington said. “No matter who would’ve walked down that alley at that time, they would have got hit.”

Horrific yes. But perversely good to know.

The ‘Knockout Game’ Hoax

Added by Staff on December 4, 2013.



The Ny Daily News is reporting that a 76 year old woman was the latest victim of a physical assault dubbed the knockout game.
In Brooklyn, New York, the 76 year old victim Yvonne Small was punched in the head by a stranger and knocked to the ground. The victim suffered mild injuries in the attack, and was assisted by onlookers afterwards. Tony Herbert a community activist in New York and a member of the National Action Network (founded by Al Sharpton) held a press conference to speak out on this attack and the issue at hand. However this writer has a difference stance on the knockout game phenomenon. Let’s take the media coverage to start.

First the videos that were used in the beginning of all this, happened to be videos, that were over 3 years old. Which brings us to why in the world would the media willfully report this with knowledge. Secondly, the videos that were shown sometimes contain footage of individuals from different countries and some videos with mentally disturbed people committing acts. Again the media understood the sources of the videos, yet they decided to run with the story.

Next there has been reference made that the attacks should be deemed as hate crimes because of the victims. This is mainly because a Jewish man was attacked recently and when Jews are attacked in this manner it is often deemed racial. We need to understand how problematic this is as well. There is no evidence that the random people whom are attacking folks are doing so based on race. However there is chatter that because of this federal laws are going to be enacted to combat it.

This is a race based issue and criminalization of the people deemed to be committing these acts, in this case it is young black males. So the question becomes where does it stop? What is deemed the knockout game, if the act of the knockout game isn’t clear. Meaning would four black kids attacking another person be the knockout game, or just an assault? Would kids stupidly fighting each other be judged as the knockout game, if you don’t know all the circumstances? Would being a young black male be the indicator that the crime is the knockout game? These are all important questions, that need to be answered. We don’t need our elected officials writing laws that ultimately cause more over policing and harassment.

Can you imagine the stop and frisk efforts in New York (if it hadn’t been ceased) coupled with the knockout game. Picture that on a larger scale and that is how impactful this could be.

However this whole knockout game is similar to the tactics that have been employed over the years to scare white people towards initiatives, laws and other legislation. The scary black man propaganda has been used throughout history. From the blue gum n***a disease, to the raping Negro beast to the novel the Clansman. Blacks have consistently been represented as extremely dangerous and potentially harmful people. So with all that comes the propaganda that reflects this, then the laws to “protect” you from it. All the while seeking to further the criminalization efforts upon blacks, enhance the prison industrial system and ultimately marginalize African Americans in this country.

Think back, there was the Susan Smith that all the networks reported back in 1994. Smith claimed that she was carjacked by black men with her sons still in the vehicle, however the truth was that Smith drove the car in a lake, killing her sons.

As sad that it is the same game plan this is being used today, and it appears that some of us are falling for it. I read on the National Action Network, that Al Sharpton is mobilizing to fight this invisible crime. Instead of focusing the efforts on stopping something that hasn’t started anyway, the energy could be used to lobby politicians on our behalf. We need representation, not marches, speeches or misdirected chastising.
