Tracking the "Knockout Game"
When U.S. Attorney Kenneth Magidson announced last December that,
“Evidence of hate crimes will be vigorously investigated and prosecuted with the
assistance of all our partners to the fullest extent of the law,” there was a
glimmer of hope that Attorney General Eric Holder’s Department of Justice was
finally taking action against the very popular, black “knockout game” epidemic
which has been sweeping the nation with bloody, sometimes fatal,
consequences.
Anyone who thought that Holder would bother himself or the DoJ with black crime in America must be fatally naïve.
Magidson wasn’t referencing black hate crimes but rather the rare instance of a stupid white man trying to join in “playing” the black “knockout game” by unconscionably assaulting an elderly black man.
(Americans should be aware by now that, in Holder’s racist world, white crime=bad, black crime=not so bad.)
Demonstrating he knew well the protocols of the “game,” Conrad Alvin Barrett followed them to a “T” by cold-cocking his defenseless victim, breaking his jaw, laughing and yelling “knockout” as he attacked him, videotaping the senseless attack, and later sharing it all with his buddies.
Barrett’s attorney claimed his client suffers from bipolar disorder and was off his meds at the time but Barrett still faces a possible $250,000 fine and ten years in prison for his “knockout” hate crime.
Coincidentally, Barrett’s potential sentence–minus the fine–is identical to that meted out to 18 year old Jesse Smithers by a Stearns County, Minnesotta judge who sentenced 18-year-old Jesse Smithers to 10 years in prison after Smithers admitted to killing 20 year old Colton Gleason in St. Cloud in 2012.
Young Gleason had made the grave mistake of walking with friends one night when a car pulled up next to them and, with no provocation, Smithers got out, punched him, causing him to fall, hit his head, and die.
Smithers, who initially had pleaded not guilty then changed his plea to 2nd-degree murder, apologized for what he characterized as a “complete accident.” But Colton’s mother and father strongly disputed that absurd claim. His father, John Gleason, said, “This group was out there and their intentions were very clear. This is unprovoked. They stopped and they saw someone they thought they could victimize. Colton didn’t have a chance to even turn and defend himself.”
John Gleason, made a valid point in saying, “We’ve been given a life sentence by this cowardice attack and murder of our son. He’ll serve very few short years and he’ll be back out again, and our son is gone forever.” . . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=35743.)
