 I forgot about your involuntary participation in that game.brianlux said:
 I looked that kid that tried that on me straight in the eye and saw desperation, self loathing and total anger. Fucked up history, culture, parenting and system= fucked up kids.Thirty Bills Unpaid said:
 The Knockout Game is a sweet game. Random people going to and fro work... getting drilled in the face and being filmed while getting drilled in the face.TL170678 said:What about the issue I see in a lot of these African American videos where they sucker punch people, beat up old ladies, etc and people just film, watch , and 99% of the time dance around and yell worldstar....There are a lot of self absorbed punks out there or maybe they are just cowards...Seems like they enjoy it to me though. 
 I see shit like that and 12teen or 20... I want to beat the piss out of the punks participating. Absolutely freaking ridiculous.
 Who shoves an old woman to the ground? What values have been instilled in you where you think its alright to shove a 66 year old woman to the ground while in a school no less?
 I do understand the process of neglect and how that tends to manifest itself. Some kids have no chance, but it doesn't make it any better for the victims when they express themselves as they do.
 We can blame the parents, but in reality... they're products of their environment as well- just the fully ripened products."My brain's a good brain!"0

 Yeah, but it's the same people in the other threads making the same comments here, they have a proven history. That gives it context.Thirty Bills Unpaid said:

 love how these two words are thrown around this forum so flippantly.
 these are the same words used to describe peaceful muslims and innocent palestinian children.
 seems like these are the new way to describe someone as less than yourself.
 carry on.
 Those terms were actually used in this thread to describe kids with some excessively cruel behavioural traits. I suppose you would prefer more gentle terms? Can you offer a few to enlighten the cavemen?
 and to answer your question, no.
 i suggest we find a thesaurus.
 The tone of your post contradicts what you say here.
 I agree that in some threads, those terms are not fairly applied. By all means, address them in those contexts. In this particular thread... the terms are far from being misplaced. At least from my perspective.0

            Also, this happened over a year ago. Why wasn't it posted then?
 I am curious to find out what happened after all of this. I googled and couldn't find anything. I'm willing to bet that a young black man was prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law....because, that's what seems to happen. Unless some here think that the judicial system took it easy on him.0

            Lately I've been in more of a read vs post mood in this forum (just on me), but have been following this and other threads.
 My goodness, how the gamuts run over, under, sideways, down.

 Well if I'm that 66 year old woman... or one of this prick's other victims (we can assume there are others- a shithead doesn't choose an old lady for his first victim- that's a more graduated target)... I'd want him charged to the full extent of the law.dignin said:Also, this happened over a year ago. Why wasn't it posted then?

 And there you go again... wait a second (does double take)... err, yah I'm with you on your second comment. But I have to ask... if a cop came on the scene and, understanding what happened, handled fatty roughly... he's not one of the people that you'd encourage to 'beat his ass' right? Just people like you and me, right?
 A 66 year old female substitute teacher has no business getting physical with an unruly bastard of that size. When you belly up to someone twice and they push you back with increasing force, the third time you are just being plain stupid.
 Suddenly, doing something incredibly stupid (with a perfectly predictable result) doesn't merit a word about personal responsibility.
 Of course I am not condoning or diminishing his actions, if someone sees that in my posts they are extremely myopic.
 That's basically what you are saying. You are blaming the victim. Out of five sentences you blamed her actions in three and his actions (well, maybe not as strong as blame but you didn't "condone" the activity) in a half of one. IPost edited by bootlegger10 on0

            i wonder if the teacher wasnt really nice or setting bad examples bc that could set off children too
 theirs always two sides to a story.....she could have been just horrible in general breaking teacher code and that causes irritation to principle0

 I'm saying that I doubt he got off easy. If you look at any stats they will tell you that young black men are way more likely to be harshly punished than young white men. So why the outrage here? Unless anyone can come up with evidence that he got off with a slap on the wrist.Thirty Bills Unpaid said:

 I got news for you guys, shitty kids have been doing shitty things for a long time. This is nothing new. OP is posting an old story to try and paint a community....and making broad generalizations about youth today. I guess to try and make a point that that 16 year old girl deserved what she got.
 Weak shit, but I would expect nothing less from our resident cop.0

 Of course you would think that. Why would you need evidence? When you can just go with your gut.muskydan said:

 You ever see this Chad?chadwick said:substitute bus driver - a brutal task  https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sBhAxofUAZY https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sBhAxofUAZY
 to bad some 12 yr old on that bus didn't punch one (or all) of them in the mouth or jaw dropping that little prick like a bad habit. hit one bully who is w/ a group of bullies, the group shits their pants, each of them.
 it happened to me more than once... smack one real good, the others turn into scared clowns. 3 vs' 1 isn't very good odds unless you can knock a dude's ass senseless. his friends are pathetic. happened in the showers at the ymca after swimming. happened after school helping a friend who was being beat on by kids a lot older than us - this time i got my ass smoked, a knee to the eye. a black eye i got. i thought i was the greatest thing since sliced bread. within a day or two i was ecstatic & had pictures taken within minutes of the fight & days later..... crying & eye swollen shut - to - smiles wearing black eye
 check this - im new at this school. im in 3rd grade trying to eat my lunch in peace. this asshole says to me, "me & my friends are gonna beat your ass at recess. im thinkin to myself, yeah ok. on the playground this prick charges me. i side step his dumb ass & punch this little bastard right in the face. a teacher saw it all & turned away pretending to not see it all go down. the ring leaders little pals all pissed themselves & took off. you stupid shits got nothingPost edited by chadwick onfor poetry through the ceiling.

 Perhaps you don't understand the context, if you have been reading the posts in this thread, particularly the one you quoted, you should understand that I am playing devil's advocate in order to shine light on the problems with riding the personal responsibility bandwagon.bootlegger10 said:
