Teens randomly hitting other people as they walk down the street. The news has covered it a few weeks ago. People are now blaming the news for the "game's" new found popularity. Some people claim that it is a "hate crime". I just think that it is rude to randomly punch someone's lights out for fun and laughs.
What do you think about the "Knockout Game"?

That's not a game, that's crime!
I don't see how these could possibly be a hate crime if it is at complete random. If they're specifically targeting certain races, then I can see how that would be a hate crime, but it says that it's at random.
So it is basically people punching people for laughs and fun, or for popularity? really people dont you have something better to do with your life. I dont get how this is amusing to people. It could really hurt someone.
I've heard some people have been killed because of this game. It shouldn't be getting so much publicity. People are getting more violent these days.
I don't think its a hate crime. I just think it's something dumb teens are doing and parents should step up and get their kids in line.
People are getting crazier and crazier by the minute. I hope that whoever started this dumb thing has this happen to themselves.
I think its dumb why would you do that and how would they like it if someone just randomly knocked the out.
It is just dumb that kids will go around and try to knockout people on the streets. They could get seriously injured. I hope that a lot of them get caught, so this stops.
I don't understand why people would want to hit people for fun. I do believe that the media has unfortunately helped lead to more people playing the game.
It is not a hate crime unless they are just targeting specific types of people, which observation has shown that they are not. This is just a stupid way that teenagers have found to pass time.
