Reports are correct in that knockouts haven't happened IN jersey city, yet. However many of the kids caught doing it in surrounding cities have been FROM jersey city. So it's feasible to think it could happen here.
It's not wrong to be prepared and protect yourself from these "should have been stains on the mattress" kids.

This sh-----tty game is very disturbing and spreading.
Why are they saying it could be a myth? And sorry to say but it's black kids who are doing the Knockout Game. All videos showed are black kids doing it. Obviously it started amongst that community. After this it might be copycaters.

No sucker punch assaults? Or is this just a case that the perps haven't been caught and fessed up to it?

Hmmm... Bob McHugh, a police spokesman in Jersey City, said there had not been a single reported knockout incident there. ?If there ever was an urban myth, this was it,? he said. Still community concerns spurred by the video prompted a member of the City Council there, Candice Osborne, to post on her Facebook page, ?there have been NO reported instances of this type of assault.?

Where is Sharpton?
He should be condemning the black-on-white violence.

http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Justice/ ... nockout-game-a-hate-crime
Brooklyn attack arrest: Is 'knockout game' a hate crime? Growing reports of the 'knockout game' are forcing police to take a closer look at racial motivations while also being careful to not spark copycat attacks. By Patrik Jonsson The Christian Science Monitor November 23, 2013 Hate crime charges against a black Brooklyn man for assaulting a white man could raise the stakes over what to do about the so-called ?knockout game,? where primarily young black men surprise white victims with a rain of punches ? sometimes for a $5 bet. Police have been receiving reports that indicate a wave of ?knockout game? incidents primarily in the Northeast, and some police are now beginning to draw connections between individual reports. ?I think it?s very real,? Sgt. Tom Connellan told the New York Times. ?As opposed to a motive for assault, be it anger or robbery, this is strictly for a game.? The apparent object of the game is to pick an unsuspecting victim and knock them out with a punch. The perpetrators are often described as ethically challenged teenagers, but the potential racial element has begun to be noticed more broadly by community leaders in places like Brooklyn. Quoted by a local TV news station, Brooklyn Rabbi Yaacov Behrmann said that he believes the assaults are part of ?a disturbing game by some African-American teens.? Some experts insist the game is a ?myth? that attempts to correlate unrelated attacks into a pattern with racial overtones. Parents of teens have referred to the attacks as ?pranks? that spiral out of control. Police have also been reluctant to make too big of a deal about the attacks, concerned about creating the atmosphere for copy cat crimes. But others contend there?s a buzz among youth about the game, and troubling instances seem to be cropping up with more regularity, according to some police sources. Police, too, have begun to respond in a more organized way, with some jurisdictions beefing up patrols and increasingly exploring hate crime charges. Earlier this month, three Hoboken teenagers were charged with murder for killing a homeless man during an apparent ?knockout game? attack. Police officials in Syracuse said the city had seen two such attacks this year, both of which were fatal. New York police this week reported seven instances of the ?knockout game? in recent weeks. Some media organizations have compiled dozens of examples of the game in recent years, and a St. Louis judge recently suggested that one man had attacked unsuspecting pedestrians 300 times. ?We?re trying to determine whether or not this is a real phenomenon,? New York City Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly said on Friday. ?I mean, yes, something like this can happen. But we would like to have people come forward and give us any information they have.? Given the extent to which such racialized attacks fit into broader societal stereotypes about young black men, police are treading carefully. Moreover, fears of black mob violence against whites dovetails into broader political sentiments simmering in the US, where concerns are rising in some quarters about officials and media turning a blind eye to such attacks in order to not stir up racial trouble. Moreover, the killing of Trayvon Martin and the acquittal of his shooter, George Zimmerman, resulted in a drawn-out debate over racial stereotypes, especially those involving young black men. ?There?s an element to who wants to see this through the lens of race,? Jeffrey Butts, a criminologist at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in Manhattan, told the New York Times. He added that the appearance of black knockout game players triggers ?racial alarms.? Nevertheless, the new hate crime charges in the Brooklyn attack may be a turning point for police and prosecutors. In the Brooklyn case, a 24-year-old Jewish man told police he overheard a group of black men talking about the knockout game before he was attacked. Police subsequently charged a man named Marajh Amrit with two counts of a hate crime and third degree assault. Police had first said the attackers were part of an inebriated birthday festivity. Given that several of the victims in the New York attacks have been Jewish, the city?s Hate Crime Task Force is looking at filing more hate crime charges ? if they can bring the perpetrators to justice.

The vast majority of the states are "Shall Issue" or don't require permits. A number of states are also Stand Your Ground (PA being a recent addition). NJ is an outlier. There is hope. Illinois was ordered by the courts to pass a CCW bill, as their ban was ruled to be unconstitutional. Hopefully NJ laws (which effectively bans the ownership and transport of firearms with certain exceptions) will receive a similar ruling at some point.

I told him to keep his eyes open to everything around him. They are attacking all ages and don't give a shit because their not the ones getting hurt. KARMAS A BITCH and they'll get theirs one day.

The 'knock out' game ends when the intended victims play their own game called 'shot dead'. Attacks like 'knock out' (aka Polar Bear Hunting, Beat Whitey Night) have been going on for years. One of the most outrageous examples was the Wisconsin State Fair a couple years back: race war wisconsin According to witnesses, a group of anywhere from 30 to 100 young black men descended on the Wisconsin State Fair last night, beating fairgoers and looting carnival games, in what witnesses said were racially-motivated attacks, Milwaukee's WTMJ reports. One witness named Eric, an Iraq veteran, said the attacks reminded him of war: "I had a black couple on my right side, and these black kids were running in between all the cars, and they were pounding on my doors and trying to open up doors on my car, and they didn't do one thing to this black couple that was in this car next to us. They just kept walking right past their car. They were looking in everybody's windshield as they were running by, seeing who was white and who was black. Guarantee it." Another witness, Norb Roberts, corroborated that: "We were just like cattle being herded out of the park, and they were picking and choosing who they wanted to beat on," he said. Officials have not yet given an estimate of how many attackers were involved or how many fairgoers were injured. Police and fair security officials were present at the time of the attacks, but not in sufficient numbers to stop the mob. Also, the Wisconsin State Fair Park Police only have jurisdiction within the fairgrounds, complicating efforts to bring the situation under control. Eric, the war veteran, recounted this brutal attack on one white teenager: "I saw them grab this white kid who was probably 14 or 15 years old. They just flung him into the road. They just jumped on him and started beating him. They were kicking him. He was on the ground. A girl picked up a construction sign and pushed it over on top of him. They were just running by and kicking him in the face." "My wife pulled me back in because she didn't want me to get hit. Thankfully, there was surprising a lady that was in the car in front of me that jumped out of the car real quick and went over there to try to put her body around the kid so they couldn't see he was laying there and, obviously, defenseless. Her husband, or whoever was in the car, was screaming at her to get back into the car. She ended up going back into the car. These black kids grabbed this kid off the ground again, and pulled him up over the curb, onto the sidewalk and threw him into the bushes like he was a piece of garbage."

Not a bad plan. There's an article in today's Times about how cars can kill pedestrians and cyclists with impunity if you simply stay at the scene and say you didn't mean to. But it might not work after the 3rd or 4th time.

Not hard. These SWANs are very young, and always more than one (the game requires more than one). Therefore it is easy to spot them and be on guard.

Ok when they mass jaywalk in the middle of the street against the light just hit them? It'd be very darwinian(someone correct me) if the court found the driver not liable because they blatantly were not in the cross walk and crossed against the light.

Sudden movements... like them crossing the streets with you! You just need to constantly aware of who is in your immediate space.... can't believe people I see on the subways / eyes shut with headphones on?

I guess what I was trying to convey is, one day they'll run into another Bernhard Goetz if they're not careful. There are just so many people that will put up with this type of behavior, and some people's tolerance for this type of stuff is lower than others.

Agree JCman, but the Bill De Blasio types would call you racist for doing that. That's profiling isn't it? I dunno, I for one call that "common sense", something most people seem to lack these days.
