There is a game in other parts of the country where white people are knocked down or beaten by black youths as part of a so called game referred to as polar bear hunting or the knockout game.
It was written about in a book called White Girl Bleed a Lot.
Do you think this phenomenon could come to Phoenix?

They talked about it on a radio station like a month ago. It happened in cities like NYC.
In Phoenix it might work 2 or three times, than they hit the wrong person and wil be shot.....

It appears to be, predominately, an East Coast thing. I've heard about incidents in NYC, Jersey City and Philly. One did happen in Lansing, MI and the kid who did it was shot in the butt as a result. My thoughts are in line with the above post. Anyone trying that here would be mighty stupid.

Unfortunately, These Hate Groups are much more prevalent in Arizona than what you mentioned.

But still, this is probably not something your average law abiding citizen will ever encounter.

They would be stupid to try it in the #1 concealed weapons State.

hard to shoot someone when you are knocked out cold or even dazed (shoot the wrong person and it is serious prison time). Follow the link from Fox Phoenix, it was clearly the knock out game.

This is happening everyone and is a side affect of worldstar. Urban youths have been posting videos for a while as they beat someone screaming WHURLSTAR. Now they are bored and sneaking up on people trying to KO them as their buddy films it. Then post it online. So far it's East Coast anit-gun cities cuz they know they can;t be shot, but as the media talks about it kids all over are doing it.

All of the attacks are not successful as clear from the Lansing case. One of the attacks in Brooklyn against a rabbi was not successful either. Some are able to fight back.
