Did you see Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson on TV last night calling for an end to this racist, senseless violence? I didn't either, nor did anyone else.

Chas.

Well, it's not on TV (AFAIK), but breitbart is reporting that Al Sharpton condemns 'knockout' game. So unless the reporter is twisting his words or something, credit where credit is due.

Wait, it's only a hate crime because the victim was a Jew? Not one mention of race in the article.

I guess the attacker must have been a Muslim, Christian, or some other non-Jew religion.

Are you aware?

You could always yell "Stranger Danger!"

We can only use our weapons to defend ourselves. There are some circumstances we can blast a person for stealing our property and trying to run away. We cannot shoot a person for revenge purposes. You have to decide for yourself at what point you are at if this form of attack happens to you. Again... You aren't going to do diddly if you are knocked out. JMRA posted some ideas above about how to react if you see it coming... IF you see it coming, you can shoot to defend yourself but you better be sure it isn't just a kid running in your general direction.

You better have this figured out before you are bracing to be hit while firing with your eyes closed.

I don't think you will have the chance to think it all out like that. Even if you have a gun in your hand, getting hit in the right spot on your jaw is going to turn your lights off. It doesn't even have to be a powerful punch. Just placed in the right spot. The part about this that is worrisome comes into the fact that there is NOTHING you can do to prevent it. Unless you refuse to walk past every human alive. It is very likely you will never see it coming.

I have decided that I won't be strolling past any groups of black teens.

03Lightningrocks wrote:Interesting. It is looking racially motivated. Black on White hate crime. Funny how Sharpton and his ILK have very little to say about this. Can you imagine how he would act if the victims were black and the bad actors were white? Makes me sick! Maybe if the cops would put some under cover whites on the street near these known thugs and catch them in the act. The cops spend untold money with under cover hookers. Seems this calls for the same efforts.
