In America these days, if you’re not knocking out random people on the sidewalk, you’re not cool. Aptly named ‘knockout’, the aim of the game is to identify a target – and then knock him or her out in a single punch. Which is bad enough as it is, but now several teens in New Jersey face jail-time after reportedly beating a homeless man to death.
One teen describes the allure of the sport:
It’s for the fun of it. It’s like when you were a little kid, running around and hitting people. Only now you’re grown, so you can knock ’em out. Even though they shouldn’t be doing it, people do it.
They just want to see if you got enough strength to knock somebody out.
Right. Knock yourselves out.
