I agree with you jad2k. Any criminal acts are wrong and should be condemned, but hurting another
human being just for fun or the sports of it is a lot more despicable to me too. It's like hunting for
food because you need it to survive vs killing animals for the sports of it and don't even eat it.

These people are just messed up, how can you play a game like that. This really makes me sick.

I wish I could just put them in a "Hunger Game" like tournament and kill each other until the last one survive and I would totally have the last one killed at the end as well.

Nonsense. This one already has and will continue to have the same types of posts.

Carry on.

And elderly are known to be fail and have weaker bones, again there are exceptions.
These boys show no power or coolness, they show they are weak and cowards.
One day these knockout games will surely backfire on the wrong person....

Why would I have to "try my hardest"? I hadn't and wasn't in the first place.

And that's exactly what I'm hoping...that it backfires. What better way to disincentivize this behavior than fear of reprisal? I know carrying isn't the answer per se, but if the perp realizes that there's a certain modicum of risk involved to this "game", then he'd think (albeit for a split second) about the odds and decide to take his dumb aggression out on a video game instead.

NY'ers need to ignore the unconstitutional gun laws of this city and protect themselves as the founders intended.
