NY. MO. NJ. PA. Deadly Teen ‘knockout game’ crossing the nation continues to harm innocent people

A deadly “game” called “Knockout” is crossing the nation, in which they try to punch a randomly-selected person walking by on the street so hard with one blow that knocks them unconscious—but the results have sometime proven fatal.

In the New York area in particular, there also seems to be an anti-Semitic motivation to some of the attacks.

Below is a partial list of attacks:

1. NJ. 46-year-old Eric Ralph Santiago. Videotape shows Santiago walking in an alleyway during the day, and one black teenager in a trio punching him hard enough to kill him.
2.NY. Crown Heights, New York, A 19-year-old Jewish man was crossing the street when brutally punched by a black man who was in a group of roughly ten young black males. Police Commissioner Ray Kelly told reporters there have been at least seven attacks on Jews in Crown Heights in the recent weeks.
