The DUmbasses finally get around to talking about it, but they strain mightily to keep race out of it except for one or two posters. They'd rather blame "failed schools" and "unemployment", and even "voter suppression" (as if any of the numbnuts involved in this behavior would even consider voting). They refuse to recognize the effect of rampant illegitimacy, the perpetual victim and entitlement mentality that the Democrat Party foists on blacks, the low bar set for behavioral expectations, and the effect of the welfare check taking the place of the working father has on black families.
If this were gangs of white youth running around battering blacks, you know damn well the DU front page would be filled for weeks with threads expressing OUTRAAAAAAGE and calls for a Justice Dept. task force to root out these domestic terrorists.

WTF? "The Knockout Game". it's evidently spreading- and trending on social media
The New York Police Department is investigating a series of unprovoked recent beatings as possible hate crimes, as they are increasingly occurring in predominantly Jewish neighborhoods.
According to police, bored teens are playing a game called “Knockout,†the purpose of which is to incapacitate a passing pedestrian with a single punch.
One teen interviewed by WTAE said that “t’s for the fun of it. It’s like when you were a little kid, running around and hitting people. Only now you’re grown, so you can knock ’em out.â€
The NYPD is concerned that the game may be spreading beyond the Tri-State area, as reports have surfaced of similarly unprovoked attacks in Pittsburgh and St. Louis in recent weeks.
They suspect that the teens are trading videos of their “knockouts†via social media.

9. Sounds like the heir's to the tea party generation.
No, you ****ing moron. They're the heirs to LBJ's welfare state, and all the Dems who have perpetuated it since.

17. I don't see that at all
I think it has a lot more to do with sky high unemployment and school systems that are failing inner city black youth.
Horseshit. It has to do with a failed moral upbringing and moral character. Loads of people in this country's past have been desperately poor, much poorer than these fools in their True Religion saggy jeans and $300 tennis shoes, and they didn't revert to barbarism while recording it on their iPhones.

42. I agree
These kids have no hope, and have been abandoned by society. We marginalize them, disenfranchise them, and lock them up much more efficiently than we educate them. I'm not going to condone their behavior, but can you blame them for lashing out in at least some way?
Yes dipshit, I can blame them. Just like I can blame mealy-mouthed liberal apologists like you for lowering standards in this society.

14. This is a symptom of societal breakdown.
What can we expect when kids are left to rear themselves on a steady diet of violence and mayhem? When the heroes held up to them by the gun culture cheapen human life?
"Gun culture" served us pretty well for nearly two centuries, nimrod, without producing roving bands of misanthropes like this. Think real hard - what societal changes have come about in the last 40-50 years that have coincided with these symptoms of societal breakdown?
