In reply to the discussion: Terrifying 'knockout' game assaults spreading [View all]bhikkhu
(10,789 posts)I wasn't able to find more than one or two "knock out game" videos, and these were only found embedded in other videos talking about it as a problem.
If I wanted to talk about it as a problem, I could do a video search and find any number of "somebody getting punched" videos, and then re-post them as "knock out game" videos...
Which leads me to think its probably just an easy media hype thing based on an internet rumor, another "be very afraid" kind of thing that gets clicks and spreads fear and distrust. I know a bunch of kids in my small city, and have no doubt that not one of them would think this was even remotely acceptable. From what I see of my kid's friends and the schools they have gone to, this is the generation that accepted homosexuality as ok, that has faced down bullying better than any other, and that is more anti-war than ever, that is more hopeful and accepting than my generation ever was.
