Real linky
Why the "Knockout Game" trend is a myth.
Drivel? i don't see any defense of your view here...
You did read the article in the linky no?
And yes, the rightwing media is hyping it up as if it happend 100's of time a day which is bull.
Quote from the article:
An important clarification: the game definitely exists, and has been around for at least a couple of years. I'm not claiming the game doesn't exist. But the idea that it's reached epidemic levels, or that it's only being played by young black people, is a fallacy. As Alan Noble convincingly writes, "Analyzing data is not as simple as watching some YouTube videos and Googling 'knockout game.'" And when it comes to the knockout game's supposed popularity, the data is almost entirely anecdotal:
Here’s the fascinating thing about this “spreading” trend: nobody seems to have any evidence that it’s spreading, or that it’s new, or that it’s racially motivated, or that black youths are the ones typically responsible, or that whites are typically targeted. This hasn’t stopped Mark Steyn, Thomas Sowell, and Matt Walsh from describing this specifically as a crime committed by blacks against whites, CNN from claiming that it is “spreading,” or Alec Torres at NRO from say it is “evidently increasing [in] popularity.”
Unquote.
FYI i'm considered righwinger here LOL.
And yes i'm the same guy as over there, as you could find out easy here on the forum.
ya know,.......... there's also a progressive (not a complement) in the Netherlands, that also posts the same drivel on another radio forum too:thumbdown:
