Have you heard of 'knockout'?

I wasn't sure where to post this - If you are easily triggered by violence (like me) please don't read any further.

I knew there was a reason I stayed away from facebook but curiosity got the better of me and I took a peek. Well I wish I'd never as I came across a shared news link about a game called 'knockout'. It reported an incident in Jersey USA and said it was 'catching on'. IT MADE ME SO ANGRY Gangs of teenagers daring each other to knock some random stranger out. It also showed a video clip which is when I closed it down but the video was nearly 3 mins long so sure there were other clips I was just wondering how wide spread this is as it has scared the hell out of me and cried out of panic.

Have you heard of this and is it really catching on? I fear for people I really do, what is society coming to? As if 'happy slapping' wasn't enough, now this crap! I really detest these people and hope they get what they deserve

I've never heard of this, but I'm not surprised. My idol Deadmau5 has stopped his twitter because of all the horrible things people have been saying about him, none of it was even true. I don't know who raised these kids, but obviously they were not raised at all, just injected with hate and put a gun in their hands.

Sickens me right to my core. I would say more evidence that spirituality (conscience, compassion, kindness HAVING A SOUL or whatever you want to call it) is being overtaken by mindless zombie like thinking. Oh I may be wrong, I need to adjust MY thinking, excuse while I go meditate

I have heard of this, at the same time, I heard about this, years ago. Makes me wonder, how long it's floated around, on-line, is there a snopes report on it?

Facebook has some pretty creepy stuff on it at times. To make it safer for me to play my games on I delete friends who post distressing things. The world is a very scary and sad place to be at times.

I'm sorry you were so upset that you cried.

What the H is wrong with people?
