the coward punch

[polywideblock]

here in Australia we have an epidemic of young pissed kids(18+normaly 19-22) "king hitting " and killing each other (one punch)   do you have the problem over there ? we've lost 92 kids in a decade      what's wrong with them ? we used to go out and get pissed    but didn't go around punching people out of the blue  and putting them in comas. the worlds gone mad   

[histoy]

Yes, we have a similar thing going on here, but they call it "The Knockout Game".  The big difference here is that the kids are hitting adults and the elderly instead of other kids.  Only a couple of arrests have been made so far.  It's a pathetic and cowardly activity.

Cowardly


Here it does seem to be going after really vulnerable victims. People with NO chance.

Just about all reported assaults have a racial aspect. Anything to that over/down there?

last two to die 1 year apart almost in the same spot in kings cross Sydney   (Google it )  both 18 on first new years out on the town . always seem to be the young and stupidly drunk

It is certainly a big part of it.  But, I figured you didn't have that crap in eastern Europe - step out of line and it's the gulag.  I guess I am a child of the cold war.

America is fighting back. More and more Facebook posts are covering people carrying weapons and shooting these idiots.
Concealed carry permits have gone through the roof. More in the last year than signed up for obamacare.

It's just teenagers being teenagers.  They do things like that.  


War, murder, rape, stealing . . its also just people being people.  They do things like that.  It's very wrong but I don't see a reason to get all worked up and shocked at the idea that someone would do it.

Drop them like 3rd period English...its what armed citizens do..

The fires of Hell await them!  (the people that do the punching that is)

Yes, people are capable of all sorts of bad things.  But, I will not write this off to just "teenagers being teenagers", no way.  When I was a teenager neither I or anybody I knew would have even thought about doing something like that.  If I felt like punching someone, I had to be ready to be punched back.  Sucker punches can kill and these idiots know that.  Our permissive society over the last thirty years has spawned this crap.  Punching out the elderly and women is just sick.  Teenagers being teenagers, BS.....

yea...we had a spot on the news one night...some guy "one punched" a girl, I ferget where it was, mall or maybe a subway, but the girl got back up an kicked her assailants ass....took 2 guys to pull the girl off the guy that hit her

[cavemanno1]

In London,where i used to live,last year there were 5 kids age from 14-17 kicked a 17 year old girl in a playground half dead  !She was playing with her little sister while those animals jumped on her for no reason!They only stopped when the girl pretended to be dead.
Imagine what nightmare she and her little sister will have for the rest of their lives.

Don't tell me kids are being kids because this is just fucking wrong!I was a kid once and not got in troubles but would never ever jump even a guy with more then myself,let alone a girl!

This "game" they play is the most cowardly thing that can be done!Pick on the strongest guy you can find on the street and let him get ready,but a girl !

Hope they get to learn a lesson by some guys with a gun and take their kneecap out!

I think if caught, the "perpetrator" should be escorted for questioning at the Police Station, into a sealed room with the Family & Friends of the "Victim", and left alone with no intervention from authorities for a period of 1 hour.
after which time....
just scrap up the Sh*t that's left, throw it in a Dumpster and carry on.

NEXT Puke ?

The only problem with this is that it won't bring back the lost ones!Should change kids mentality that would solve the problem not kicking the shit out of those animals!
I bet my right arm on it if they were alone in a room with a stronger guy they would piss themself!These kids i think only do it to be approved by the others,if you have a strong foundation of principals you would never do this,only the week and coward do this!

[Cooter]

The desensitizing of youth seems to be at the root of this. They know the consequenses, yet still do it.
Death is one helluva deterrent...
If they know everybody on the street could potentially kill them, then this would stop.

[Mike DC]

       

I know you guys & your friends would probably never have done that when you were that age.  Neither would I.


I also wouldn't murder anyone for a couple hundred dollars.  You probably wouldn't either.  But that doesn't make it shocking when someone else does it.  People do things like that.  

Is it a GOOD sign for our society?  No.  But it's not evidence that our society is rapidly coming apart either.  



Give the teenagers big jail terms and move on.  Don't write new laws, don't make it a big news story, don't grant it more attention that it deserves.

[twodko]

Harsh consequences for ones heinous actions have fallen by the way side. Spare the rod........and like that.
Mindless gratuitous violence must be punished swiftly and severely.
These stains on the gene pool who commit these acts have grown up in a grossly permissive societal environment that tolerates assumptions of unbridled entitlement.
Examples.........many examples must be made. Ugly, yes....necessary, with out question. IMO

[polywideblock]

you don't get the chance to defend yourself ,with a weapon or not . they normally hit from behind/sideways the victim never sees it coming so having a gun or a weapon is only giving them something else to do to you after they've knocked you out to smash your head on the sidewalk/roadway .its the most cowardly thing i'v ever heard of . what happened to "you ,me outside "     I don't pretend to be no angle    spent my entire young adulthood in the local biker bar/strip club  , hell had a reserved table  but a fight was between two people who knew what was going on   and even they were rare . not a sneaky sly bash from behind , I just don't get where their coming from   .

 I know ya'll have heard that the majority of these crimes are committed by young, black , wannabe thugs on white elderly people.  A white dude recently knocked out an old black man and the media and FBI considered it a hate crime. Funny how when a white guy does it (still no excuse and he should be killed) is justified a hate crime all of a sudden.  I wish the states that are experiencing these crimes would let their citizens carry weapons. An armed society is a polite society.

[polywideblock]

I know it will make people scream "human rights violation"  but I think instead of locking the ..expletive deleted..    up for a "holiday " they should be flogged in the true sense of the word     cat o nine tails and all  .its all on public record over here (it was only 100 years ago) 30 lashes exposes bone  ,let the punishment fit the crime

There is something very wrong with this kind of thinking.

People have a potential to do things like this but it is not natural to do these things.  

There those out there that think people are the most disgusting / greedy/ exploitative /etc creature on the earth. And that this place would be a paradise if we all passed away.

We as creatures are virtually unchanged for the passed 40 thousand years. What causes this stuff is faulty learning, poor or no roll models, peer pressure from others of their like, etc.

An example is the bad rap pit bulls get as unpredictable killers.  They are just misguided and trained by many to earn that reputation. Not unlike training a child to put on a bomb vest.

Also many of these young don't yet know enough to fear being killed or are convinced it can't happen. And/or their life may suck so much that it doesn't matter.

Our best defense as individuals is to be ready and armed.

[twodko]

Gotta chime in again.......yep it's a hot topic.
Cat 'o Nine tails or the like is a consequence that WILL be acknowledged. I'm OK with it. Bring it.

Pit bulls like prensa carnarios and a scant few other breeds are killer breeds. Period. It's in their natural behavior and can not be "trained" out. These dogs are part of the "Harley Syndrome" for many.

People have these dogs as an extension of their lack of genitalia.

No one needs a killer breed to prove they have a lion heart if they were so born.

Harley people are just that......they or theirs grew up living, breathing and sleeping with Harley-Davidson iron. Assembled and running or in pieces. Biker people have biker blood. They don't "grow" it after turning fifty.
This is true for all bikers.....IMO
