A 78 year old women is another victim of "knockout". This is really getting out of hand!

Insane, not even elderly women are spared. Guaranteed these are not the same individuals from the other attacks, which will indicate a social-cultural dilemma or just simply have fallen into a deep ditch. Segments of society are declining and becoming like the villains in post apocalyptic movies, where the behavior is ruthless, the culture is demented and do brutal things as a source of entertainment, and not even the children, women or elderly are spared... It is..... what it is... smh

There seems to be a pattern emerging from these attacks. Homeless persons, women, people who are easy marks.

I think the media is over-hyping this. "Knockout" became news when you started seeing more and more white victims. I am not excusing this behavior in any way shape or form but simply criticing the media's role in reporting "knockout" which isn't new btw. Any one here who has live in NYC through the 90's can attest to this. I think it's contributing to some of the more recent attacks that you are seeing in Brooklyn and in other parts of the city. Worst of all, they keep calling it a "game".

If you go on worldstarhiphop.com right now, you can search for "knockout" videos where it's mostly poor black on black violence. I did this today and it's very shocking how there are so many videos of young black males assaulting other blacks just for fun and giggles. I remember a while back, a black homeless man was sucker punched on a Philly subway (I think. I don't know). It made some headlines, but not to level that "knockout" is getting today.

If more victims carried guns, this would stop. I would shoot too, and not necessarily aim not to kill. Hurting people for fun is horrible and needs to be stopped. I don't care about race, just right and wrong.
