How in the world are we going to know when some thug is going to run up from behind us and cold cock us? I don't care how tough a person is, you get socked on the "button" hard enough, you are going down. So now I am suppose to avoid walking near packs of black teens? I have to avoid walking past any group of young teens? Most of the stories seem to be ghetto black kids but like everything else, it could easily spread to anytown USA and be any race of young teens in a pack.
Maybe we all start wearing helmets...??? :smilelol5:

This is a tough question to answer but I do think part of the answer is being aware of what's around you (including behind). I try to stay aware of what's going on around me especially if I am in an unfamiliar location or an area where I suspect I am more vulnerable. Makes me look paranoid but maybe looking paranoid keeps me from getting attacked...

My two cents...

Can't imagine it would be. I can't tell what state the commenter is referencing but our government spent a considerable amount of money teaching me to shoot center mast. I can't believe they did that with the intent I would be "shooting to wound". Sounds like nonsense to me...

Re: knockout game

I saw this on local news just yesterday.

From the videos shown here, most victims seemed to be knocked out cold or at least stunned enough they couldn't react.

If these guys miss their target and don't get a clean knock out or come up against someone with a strong jaw who is also armed, they are in trouble.

As others have said, I'd hate to think about what my dad would have done to me had I been involved in something like this growing up. No doubt in my mind he'd have known about it as he seemed to know everything I did then...
