We tracked these for more than two years because the MSM refused to admit they were taking place. We identified 28 victims in 2014 alone, multiple victims and multiple murders. More attacks continued to take place in 2015 as noted HERE and HERE.  Now today:

( VIA ABC NEWS) Police in New Jersey are investigating an apparent attack after a video was posted on social media.

The video appeared on Facebook this week and shows someone throwing a punch, appearing to knock out an unsuspecting victim. The person shooting the video can be heard encouraging the attacker. Paterson police called the video disturbing and thanked residents who reported it. (more…)

 CNN’s Marc Lamont Hill has stated repeatedly, these attacks are myths… See this former U.S.A Today article

San Diego, CA – Authorities on Wednesday circulated surveillance camera images of a youth sought for beating up a 52-year-old man at a La Mesa transit depot.

The victim had just exited a trolley about 8 p.m. June 13 when the assailant jumped him, punching him until he fell to the ground and then kicking him in the head, according to police. (more…)

JACKSON, MS (Mississippi News Now) –  Sources tell us that a third person of interest has been located in the murder of Eric Hambrick at a Jackson Waffle House.
Two men have also been arrested.  19-year-old Arkel Coleman (left) and 18-year-old Shrederrick Anderson (right)  were arrested and charged with one count each of murder and strong armed Robbery.
Police say Coleman and Anderson were taken into custody, where they confessed to the crime. They are being held without bond.
On Thursday, May 28, just before midnight, emergency responders were called to the Waffle House at 106 Larson Street.52- year-old Eric Hambrick was found lying on the ground with an injury to his head. (more…)

Anyone else find it odd the victim, Janay Palmer (now Mrs. Rice ) has less issue with the offense than the employer? 

Apparently Ray Rice lied to his team ownership about the incident in question where he punched his fiancé.   It appears ‘technically’ his firing is not for his conduct in the incident per se’ but the false statements to his employer about the incident.  Then again, the “morals clause” in his contract would also encompass this action/behavior once the publicity.   Something is just odd with the way this played out.  

Unfortunately, domestic violence -or violence against spouses and partners- is quietly well known within the NFL.  Maybe this incident will have the positive effect of getting some needed attention to the issue.   It just seems odd that Ms. Palmer would marry the guy *after* the incident.

  

(CNSNews.com) – The Baltimore Ravens on Monday fired running back Ray Rice, and he was suspended from the NFL indefinitely after video surfaced Monday showing him punching his then-fiancee Janay Palmer in the face in an Atlantic City hotel elevator in February.
At first, security video surfaced only showing Rice dragging Palmer out of the elevator. Rice was arrested and allowed to enter a diversionary program, to avoid jail time. The NFL suspended him for only two games, which touched off a firestorm of controversy.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell changed the league’s personal conduct policy regarding domestic violence or sexual assault in August, saying the first offense would lead to a six-game suspension, followed by an indefinite ban for a second offense. (more…)

The pregnant woman was knocked out cold on the ground by the punch. The man behind the attack was a Brooklyn man named Willie Stephens, 33. Officers found Stephens three blocks away and arrested him.  This brings the confirmed number of knock-out victims to 27 so far in 2014.

(New York) The pregnant woman who was sucker-punched for no apparent reason Thursday was so traumatized by the cruel attack, she’s too scared to set foot outside, she told The Post on Friday.

“I was just walking and somebody slapped me in the face, he pushed me and I fell down,” said Jannatul Ferdous, 34.  “I’m scared. My neck and back hurt,” she told The Post, refusing to step outside of her apartment. (more…)

NYPD has released security video of a black male in his 20s assaulting a 72-year-old man, who appears to be white, walking down the street in the West Village on Monday afternoon. After the man fell to the ground, police say the suspect ran to the other side of the street to an awaiting black male. Police are now looking for both suspects. (link)

Despite the reality staring her in the face the Mayor of Baltimore, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, refuses to acknowledge the motives and racial connotations behind the continuing Knock Out Assaults taking place in her city. A continuing pattern of racial avoidance:

Baltimore – After two recent “knockout games” left several people in Baltimore injured, the city’s mayor has decided to speak out.
WNEW Annapolis Bureau Chief Karen Adams reports that Baltimore City Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake is disgusted by the attacks and says they are not a game.
“They don’t understand the consequences,” Rawlings-Blake said. “If you knock someone out, you could think its a joke and you’ll hurt somebody – that person could die. And then your life is ruined for some stupidity that you and your friends think is fun. It’s just not worth it.”
Rawlings-Blake said Wednesday that adults in the city can help to prevent these crimes by being more involved in the lives of children who may be roaming the streets. (more…)

Like Victim #22, Victim #23 is fortunate enough to have a police department willing to admit this was a pre-planned Knock Out Assault (though they still call it a “game”).

Video in link with victim interview as he awaits facial reconstruction surgery and also an interview with police investigators.

MICHIGAN – Ferndale (WXYZ) – The “knock-out game” has been making headlines across the country.  It is a “game” where someone tries to knock out an innocent stranger with one punch.
Now, Ferndale Police are investigating whether that is what lead to an attack on a man walking along Woodward Avenue.
It happened just before midnight on Sunday night as Edward Ewing walked across Wordsworth Street.  He had just stopped at White Castle for a bite to eat and was walking home.  He saw two men walking toward him.
“Was just going home,” said Ewing.  “Next thing I know I am sucker punched.”
The punch knocked Ewing out.  He suffered a concussion, broken jaw, chipped teeth, cuts, and bruises.   (more…)

2014’s victim #22 has a small consolation – at least the police admit the motive this time…

PENNSYLVANIA – Police are on the hunt for a group of teenagers who allegedly planned a videotaped attack on a homeless man and then posted the recording on Facebook. Pure evil” is how Upper Darby Police Superintendent Michael Chitwood described the beating. “There was absolutely no reason to do it, other than being mean and evil,” he said.

According to Chitwood, surveillance video from a nearby bank shows four teenage boys sitting at the Aronimink Trolley Stop at Burmont Road and Morgan Avenue in Upper Darby back on June 11.
“You can see that they’re planning something in the surveillance video,” Chitwood said. “You see all four of them get up and go through the doorway that leads inside the building where the victim is seated, doing nothing and minding his own business.” (more…)

2014’s Victim #21 finds himself facing an all too familiar response from Law Enforcement, “Denial”.

“My watch wasn’t taken. My phone, which was in my hand, wasn’t taken,” he said. “There was no attempt for my pockets that I could see.”

Despite the brutally obvious pattern the police say it was an attempted robbery.   Yet nothing was taken from the victim, and nothing was even attempted to be taken from the victim.   A 16-year-old black attacker, a random white male victim not paying attention to the inherent risk approaching him.   Stop me when you’ve heard this before…..

(Via Daily Caller)   A New York City man who said he was randomly attacked by three teenagers says he thinks he was a victim of the ‘Knockout game’ even though police are calling the attack an attempted robbery.

Sal Avila required surgery for a broken nose he sustained during the vicious attack, which occurred near the campus of New York University last Sunday, Channel 4-New York reports.

Avila told the news station he was leaving a friend’s house and looking at his cell phone as three teenagers passed by.  Then he was punched.

“Just as they were about to walk past me, one of them moves very suddenly and I feel a very hard impact to my face, as if I got hit by a brick or something,” Avila told Channel 4-New York. (more…)
