Al Sharpton weighed in on 'The Knock-Out Game' yesterday. My new cable package gives me Fox but not MSNBC or HNN...I used to enjoy tuning in to those channels just to see how badly they got something wrong and have a good laugh....That pleasure will now cost me another $35 a month...I'll Pass.
I'm still waiting to hear "Black Racist Violence" as a description of these Knock Out Assaults...Hannity is the loudest voice on that note and O'Rielly is a distant and moderated second. My guess is that this trend will have fizzeled by the time it warms up and will fade into the background.
A St. Louis woman was slugged in the face this week in the latest local “knock-out game” attack.
Via Facebook:
Ashley Depew, is the younger sister who I taught at my dance studio. She was a victim of the “one Punch Knockdown,” a game that teenagers are now doing, this was done in STL a couple nights ago. Please Pray for a quick recovery as she is going under reconstruction surgery.
These groups of teenagers will punch out anybody, then scatter to run. please don’t be a victim and always be aware of your surroundings!
There have been several “knock-out game” attacks in St. Louis by black youths since 2011. One retired Vietnamese man was murdered in an attack. St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay was the first one on the scene at another bloody attack in South St. Louis City.
One local teen told St. Louis Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce in 2011 that he participated in over 300 “knockout game” attacks in the city.
Yesterday a RETIRED NYPD detective said on CNN "when you see a group of black kids approaching you...cross the street" The CNN Anchor-ette promptly developed a bunch in her undies.
That of course would be 'Racial Profiling' and that's just not fair.

ST. LOUIS • The diminutive woman stood in court, wearing an American flag pin on the lapel of her black jacket and speaking of both heartbreak and opportunity.
Yen Nguyen, 62, came to this country with her husband. Now she is alone.
A so-called “game” in which teens sucker-punch people for fun is the reason Hoang Nguyen, 72, is dead, prosecutors say.
And on Thursday, as Elex Murphy — the young man convicted of playing that deadly “game” — was sentenced to 55 years in prison, Yen Nguyen had a chance to speak about what losing her husband has meant for her life in America.
“After the death of my husband, I lived in this lovely country but I feel very lonely,” she said, through a translator. “When we came here, we came here as a couple.”
Hoang Nguyen was a teacher in Vietnam but retired upon coming to America and studied English at the International Institute. Yen Nguyen worked for a sewing company, as she still does.
They had been here only three years when the attack took place on April 16, 2011, killing him and injuring her. The couple had been walking home to their apartment at Chippewa and Spring streets from a grocery.
The flag pin Yen Nguyen wore Thursday was symbolic, not just because this was her chance to see justice in court. Since the trial last month, she has gained U.S. citizenship. Friends urged her to do so after her husband’s death.
“My family is destroyed,” Yen Nguyen said, continuing her statement in court. “But I believe this country is a country of freedom. Even though I am very lonely I will try to live, I will try to work hard.”
Last month, a jury found Murphy, 20, guilty of second-degree murder and first-degree assault, plus two counts of armed criminal action.
Prosecutors had asked for first-degree murder, saying Murphy showed deliberation when he broke away from a group of friends and grabbed Hoang Nguyen by his shirt, then coldly held his chin, cocked back his own fist and delivered a punch strong enough to knock the man to the ground.
He then hit Yen Nguyen in the eye, knocking her glasses from her face, prosecutors say. Yen Nguyen identified Murphy to police and in court.
Murphy’s public defender, Annette Llewellyn, disputed that identification and maintained on Thursday that authorities prosecuted the wrong man.
At sentencing, she asked Circuit Court Judge Thomas Frawley to consider that the “knockout game” had been played for years by countless teens before the deadly instance involving the Nguyens. She also pointed out that Murphy had been under the protection of the state Department of Social Services all through his teenage years.
Elex Murphy age 20: About to begin 55 years of 'Jail Food' and become an Expert in License Plate Fabrication...and become a contributing member of society. No word on the number of Baby-Momma's left behind.
But this guy's 55 year sentence is the only thing RIGHT about this story....Elex Murphy will likely die before he's amongst the population again...he might as well be in a 'PENAL COLONY' a wise judge has decided that it's best that he be separated from society for 55 years.
At sentencing his public defender stated:
She also pointed out that Murphy had been under the protection of the state Department of Social Services all through his teenage years.This makes my point....if he had been put in an 'Orphanage' or a 'Disicipline Academy' / "Reform School" he would likely been saved from this terrible fate and lived his life in freedom and creativity.
I want to blame Liberal Politicians (pick any one of them from RT Ryback to Amy Klobuchar)
I' just want to 'Connect The Dots' here....
Dead Vietnamese man....
....Thug who was in the custody of Social Services all his teen years...
....55 years in Prison for the Thug.
That approaches a just punishment for the Thug....
But my theory is that this could have been prevented if Elex Murphy had been taken away from drug addict Momma and put into an orphange and given guidance and discipline.
Happy Thanksgiving.
