The people have it within their power to create the barriers and boundaries for civil society. The simply must be unified, committed, and unafraid! As word spreads that the people will not stand by and allow thugs and hooligans to roam our streets committing acts of violence against innocent citizens we will begin to take out streets back.
Breitbart reports that one teen playing this knockout game got a wake up call by a legally armed citizen:
A teen playing the “Knockout Game” in Lansing, Michigan unwittingly targeted a concealed carry permit holder and was shot twice. He survived and is now in jail.
As Breitbart News previously reported, the “Knockout Game” thrives in areas where victims are unarmed. In the “game,” teens approach a stranger on the sidewalk or in an alley and punch the stranger in an attempt to knock him or her out. A punch that results in a knockout scores one point.
WILX in Lansing reported that teenager Marvell Weaver, who is black, tried to knock out a father who was standing at a bus stop waiting for his daughter to arrive. Instead of simply punching the father, Weaver tried a variation on the “game” by trying to taze the man. The taser malfunctioned, and the father pulled a .40 cal handgun and shot the teenager twice.
Weaver admits to previously knocking out six or seven people on other days before targeting the man who shot him. He said being shot by the father at the bus stop was “a lesson learned.”
Weaver is now serving one year in jail.
Young people need boundaries and rules and they need the adults around them to uphold the barriers. Our society has been tolerant, understanding, and absent to the point that young people are without support to grow up.
Time passes, Things Change…Round three could be a knockout punch if we all stick together for civility!

Every American citizen who is not a felon and is over the age of 18 should be allowed to carry a firearm. These people should be required to take and pass a firearms safety class and a proficiency class.
Why in the hell should people minding their own business be defenseless in the face of mortal danger?
In Pennsylvania, 1979 or 1980 I took a hunters safety course in school. That year I also joined a school sponsored black powder weapons club. We (10-12) each kicked in $10 and Mr. Jones went and purchased a CVA Hawken black powder pistol kit,.50 cal I think. I call it a kit because we had to build it. We learned how to blue a gun barrel and how to put a very fine finish on the stock. The last day the club met, Mr Jones loaded the weapon with the proper charge of powder and a patch. He then proceeded to blow the bottom out of his trash can. Those truly were good days.
My point is this. Our club consisted of white guys and gals, two black kids and an exchange student from I don’t recall. As far as I know none of them have killed or wounded anyone in the past 33 years or so. We were all 14-15 years old and knew you don’t dick around with guns. With proper training and discipline I think kids of today can be trusted with such classes to prepare them for firearm ownership.
I know I have told part of this in the past but it seemed pertinent.
What is the infatuation of urban problems in little Ol Chico?
Tea party spits out hate in the media all day long. Violence in America is escalating right along with it. Stated that would happen.
Civility? Ya mean like calling everybody names, threatening to overthrow the gov?
I plan on getting as many African Americans educated and armed legally as possible. Responsible with conceals so they can defend them selves against the racist movement coming about.
never under estimate who is armed to protect themselves against this crazy movement.
Re #4 Dewey:
Evidently Dewey hasn’t being paying attention to the high rates of assault crime (particularly knife attacks) and rape downtown. This is what comes from having your head buried in the sand (or elsewhere).
Re specifically: “I plan on getting as many African Americans educated and armed legally as possible.”
The NRA is way ahead of you on that, sport. We have a history weapons training of African Americans since the time of the Civil War and including when Democratic Party’s terrorist organization, the Ku Klux Klan was formed.
I suggest you join us in protecting the right to bear arms for all Americans. I also recommend you join and contribute to Gun Owners Of America (GOA) and Disabled Americans for Firearms Rights (DAFR). I am a member of and support all three organizations. who knows, maybe by joining these organizations some intelligence, reason, and knowledge might actually rub off on you.

(P.S. Do I really think Dewey would ever join and support any of the above? Heck no, he is just a pompous blow hard. All hat, no ranch.)
So, why are progressives attempting to marginalize and trivialize the “Knockout Game”? Is it because the game is played, for the most part, by young black thugs? Does this bald fact make progressives uncomfortable? Is it because the much of the horrendous violence is perpetrated on young white girls?
Is this “the racist movement coming about” that Dewey seeks to arm?

Ignore it and maybe it will go away.
Wrong!
