New knockout game victim, yet this is not plastered all over HLN 24 hours a day...what gives?


"Two Louisiana teens have been arrested after they decided to play the knockout game to see which one could hit the hardest. The youths age 15 and 19 will face second degree murder charges in the death of 55-year-old John Bannon. The 19-year-old is Windall Herring and the 15 year old’s name is being withheld because he is a minor. Herring is also being charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor."

"The two were arguing about which one could hit the hardest, when they spotted Bannon walking near his home on February 1st. He was rushed to the hospital but died of his injuries which included fractured skull and brain hemorrhaging."

I like how they are called "youfs"....

Wow . . . Upon searching subject, I had no idea that this type of behavior has been happening for a few years and is so wide spread.

It would be great if someone would turn around and punch one of these thugs, there I said it, THUGS while they were trying to knock out some unsuspecting person. Oh ha ha, so funny. Hope these brats laugh when they're in jail with Bubba.

Thing is, people should be more aware of their surroundings and pay attention.

There's only so much a person can do and still enjoy their lives. What needs to happen is some of these knockout players get gunned down in the street. Maybe others will rethink their gaming activities.

No, no sarcasm on my part. It's an eye opener for me.

IF enough people become more aware of silly hoodrat games like this, then hopefully people will start pasting these kids in the face when they try this crap! Sooner or later they'll pick on some crochety old vet , and their lights will get put out.

This is so frightening. The local news stations never report incidents like this. As a female who is constantly aware of her surroundings, I still feel uncomfortable knowing this is happening. Can't these idiots think up better "games" to play?

Thing is, NO ONE is raising these kids. Parents, er mommy, is scared of them so these THUGS (there I said it) have zero guidance or discipline and could care less about innocent people.
