Knockout game backfires

| November 20, 2013

Jeff sends us a link on Facebook about the “knock out game” which has been in the news lately. It’s not really a game – it’s blindsiding innocent people, mostly black teens punching out white people. Well, in Lansing, Michigan, a teen tried it on a guy waiting for his daughter at a bus stop. But, the innocent fellow happened to be armed and shot the teen twice and now the player is cooling his heels in jail.

When Marvell Weaver approached the father to taze him, he had no idea that his intended victim was legally carrying a handgun for self-defense.

When the attempted ‘hit” failed, the father simply pulled out his fully-registered and legal handgun, and calmly shot Weaver twice. Weaver was then imprisoned, given a trial and [pleaded] guilty to his crime.

Well, Marvell learned his lesson and he’s probably the target of the game in his new environment.

This little bastard tried to commit aggravated assault on a random person and was shot when the intended victim reacted in self defense. This is exactly the kind of thing Conceled gun permits were ment for. Bravo to the shooter.

I’ve seen the video before and the little shit doesn’t look regretful over anything more than the fact he was caught.

GruntSgt

Yeah, pay backs a medevac.Play stupid games get your ass ventilated.

PintoNag

Several people have died being assaulted this way.

Dumbass…should be room temperature.

This is not new. This was happening when I was a kid in the 50’s in a medium size town in Virginia. Then it was mostly white on black. I was asked to participate but never did. Stupid is as stupid does. One of my “friends” got his a$$ beaten good when he hit a man who as it turned out was a champion Navy boxer.

The Other Whitey

So it’s a game to physically attack random strangers, huh? Funny, I thought it was called “assault & battery” and something tells me it would be a felony if I did it to this cockfuck. Plus, I’m white, so it would be a “hate crime” too.

“Game” my Black Irish white ass. This is nothing but assholes trying to make excuses for thuggery. Maybe I’m just vindictive and old-fashioned, but I say he should’ve put one through the little shit’s head as an example to all the wannabe hoodlums of all skin tones out there. If anything the father showed admirable restraint.

Correction:

Based on the reported incidents, web sites dedicated to “game”, You Tube videos, FaceBook celebrations of the “game” and the resultant deaths that have occured … I betcha a young smart smokin’ hot procecuter will charge someone with “Attempted Murder” within a week.

Watch.

Play this game on me, I’ll make the next move. .45 x 1 = I win. Darwin proven to be correct once again.

I love race based violence in the afternoon. Thanks, Obama!

This guy is now a catcher in Prison and I’m not talking about baseball.

Now, for his penance, he gets donkey punched daily.

And at that, the other videos of this I’ve seen, its a bunch of thugs all walking around together, so in this case he’s extra dumb because he was alone, unless I missed something.

At the end of the day, this is dumbasses doing something because they think its “cool” to do it. Just the same as that dumb pants around your ankles rubbish they do to make them look “cool”.

ByrdMan

I have to agree with SFC D. A .45 round to the chest would ensure that he didn’t play stupid games again…ever.

Only one word describes this guy: PENDEJO!

Do you see that video of the poor bastard getting decked and that woman face planting on concrete after getting struck in the head from the bastard who ran up behind her? This stuff is sick. Cruel, senseless, and sick. I think it really would be appropriate to surgically remove a few body parts from this clowns–preferably at both shoulders to preclude future attacks.

Hondo

2/17 Air Cav: nah. Hogtie them; bury them in ground up to their necks; invite a few previous “knockout game” targets (or their NOK) over; hand said prior targets/NOK broom handles; and tell them to flail away until their arms get tired.

Remember to have a few spare broom handles available in case of breakage, though.

Mlive is doing a good job of staying away from most of these stories. I was told of at least 3 in the last month in cities not named Detroit.

UpNorth

Fat fingers. 17 was me.

ohio

Shoot to kill, then it is all over.

UpNorth

Hey, my comments ended up in the ether, I think… Anyway, M-Live has been burying these stories lately. Lots of it going on, yet only 4 stories in the 3 page search history I ran there. Three from Ann Arbor and this incident.
Seems to be a trend, crimes committed with a racial element cause the reporters to howl loudly, unless it’s determined that the victim is white/Asian/Hispanic and the perp is black. Then, it’s “Let’s do a story on Hanging Gardens”.

Here’s another one that had a happy ending, but the article also listed several incidents of victims killed after being struck.

Last year in Meriden, Conn., DeAndre Felton and his 10 of his friends thought they found an easy mark for a bit of the old Knockout Game. They chose the wrong guy: He pulled a knife and killed DeAndre and wounded one other attacker. The attackers’ parents said their children were innocent, just like Trayvon Martin in Florida.

I bet Bubba and Leroy are pitching pennies in the yard to decide who gets Marvel first, clean out of the showers. Marvel is sooo cute, and that double-legged limp is a real tease, too.

Another reason to carry a weapon and get the range time in so the idiot doesn’t get the chance to go to jail…
Put one in center mass and poof he’s a pile of shit !!!

Since the evidence is being posted to Youtube, how hard can it be to track these perps down?

This is probably the feel good news of the year candidate.

Recently I was made aware of this ‘knockout game’ because some felt Jewish people in New York area were specifically being targeted for this sick “game.” After doing some search, I was shocked to find out this was going on for years and in other countries also (Great Britain, that infamous video of the guy sneaking up to a girl and sucker punching her out).

Also saw one video of teens in New Jersey I think describing the knockout game and the way they laughed and joked around about the game made me sick to my stomach. It is an epidemic in other cities also.

And I was praying that one day it would seriously backfire, and here we are. This needs to be spread all over the internet. That you f**k with the wrong person, you pay the price.

gggg

I’m sure all blacks playing this “game” are heroes to liberals everywhere. You won’t see this hate crime in any news anywhere, because after all, blacks can’t be racist (despite nonsense like this being overwhelmingly prevalent).

jonp

It is a ” marvel” this genius made it this far in life. Another reason unarmed people are called victims.
Who names their fringe kid Marvell anyways?

A Proud Infidel

Bubba, Thor, Leroy, and Tyrone will straighten his ass out if they haven’t already started, Hey Marvell, SQUEEEEAL!

B Woodman

And after you’re done defending yourself from a “knockout” thug, just walk away. No po-po, no phone calls, unless it’s to someone to come give you a ride.

When there isn’t a real father figure, or discipline at all in the child’s life. This is what happens, that’s my opinion. Good to see that at least one individual who was attacked didn’t just let himself stay a victim.

Would shame and humiliation of these “kids” work. If they are caught and tried the prosecutor should hammer constantly on the theme that they sucker punched, or ganged up, on people and are deep down cowardly.

Green Thumb

2 + 2 = Dead.

UpNorth

@#32, they’d have to be capable of being shamed or humiliated for that to work. It’s better to treat them like Marvell got treated. Except two center mass and one in the head.

Hondo

UpNorth: have to disagree. The two center mass could be explained to authorities (if necessary) as the result of being nervous. The third to the head is harder to explain, and in many jurisdictions just might get you prosecuted for murder 1 or 2. A third center mass is easier to explain.

Besides, if you’re using a 9mm or larger (or even a .38) and are in practice . . . two or three center mass should be more than enough.

UpNorth

Hondo, MCOLES training in Michigan teaches to fire until the threat is eliminated. I doubt most prosecutors will go against that. That said, the third round center mass is probably the way to go.
If I carried(wink), it’d be a Springfield Armory V10 in .45. If two center mass don’t work, I’d think about leaving the area at a high rate of speed.

BORED? Try this notion instead:
WORDS FOR TEENAGERS
(From a judge who regularly deals with youth) “Always we hear the cry from teenagers, ‘what can we do, where can we go?’
“My answer is this: Go home, mow the lawn wash the windows, learn to cook, build a raft, get a job, visit the sick, study your lessons and after you’ve finished, read a book. Your town does not owe you recreational facilities and your parents do not owe you fun.
“The world does not owe you a living, you owe the world something. You owe it your time, energy and talent so that no one will be at war, in sickness and lonely again. In other words grow up, stop being a cry baby, get out of your dream world and develop a backbone not a wishbone. Start behaving like a responsible person. You are important and you are needed. It’s too late to sit around and wait for somebody to do something someday. Someday is now and that somebody is you?”

Leave headshots, shoots in the arm, shooting the gun out of their hands etc to tv show heros. Always aim center mass and fire until the threat is over or you hear a click.

Bored, are they? I have plenty of stuff for them to do. It involves unrewarding hard labor with no pay.

Unfortunately, it’s that old ‘monkey see, monkey do’ thing and as long as they think they won’t get caught, they’ll do it.

And personally, I do not believe ‘marvel’ takes it seriously even now. Yes, it is happening in Chicago. It’s just that gang shootings get a higher profile in the news.
