Oh wow, that's not cool.
I think they should charge with murder if victim dies from knockout.
Dunno what to say here...sooner or later, someone is gonna pull a gun on the teenager who tried to deliver the knock-out punch.....It's all deadly, anyway...all the way around.....Bored teenagers resorting to violence.
That is if they catch the person. Seems it would be hard to catch them because the victims are often alone and knocked out dead if successful.
Terrible. What has the world come to. Shootings, knockouts, random killings. Wow. Not safe to go outside anymore!

Today's news:
78-Year-Old Grandmother Becomes Latest 'Knockout' Victim
Earlier this month, CBS 2 reported on a series of attacks on Jews in Brooklyn, allegedly part of a disturbing game that has teens punching Jewish adults in an effort to try to knock them over.
Now it appears the action -- dubbed the "knockout game" -- has spread. Violent videos shot in other cities and in as many as six states show teenagers knocking into other victims on purpose including, most recently, a 78-year-old grandmother in Brooklyn.
The victim's daughter said she was walking along in broad daylight when a young African-American male knocked her down. He didn't take anything, she said, and didn't seem interested in anything but hitting her as hard as he could before running off.
“She had her purse, she had bags from department stores. There was not even an attempt to take anything from her. It was just a wanton act to hurt another human being,” the victim’s daughter told CBS 2.
Various media outlets have reported that police are investigating the string of attacks as possible hate crimes.
