While I have not read anything about it happening in NJ.. can't be too careful...

 

apparently the "game" involves knocking some random victim out.. in many cases punched in the back of the head..

just a reminder to be alert and watch your backs..

 

There are many stories like this one.. but here is one..

Man, don't let the cat outta the bag, i was going to pull that off on my wife. Sheesh........................

lol I mean I read some of this stuff.. and I just don't get it.. sure in high school I got in a fight or two.. a fight or two.. face to face.. with someone my own age.. never would I have ever considered hitting some random person for no reason.. this is ridiculous..

too bad there is no CCW in jersey for this.

I would love for one of these kids to try this on me. It would be so much fun.

You got to watch it now with these punk asses. I was doing a job at 525 Washington blvd. in Jersey. I was walking out of the building with the customer and some goonies asked me for a cigarette. I replied "I don't smoke man I can't help you"he replied "you dont have to say it like that" and started to come towards me I took my book bag off just incase of a altercation. Now if you know jersey city I was in front of Newport pavonia light rail station right in back of the mall. And this punk as pulled a glock on me I don't know what gen or caliber. I was scared shitless but I just said " you need to get the fugg out of here " his homeboy was grabbing him trying to get him out of there so he just put his gun away and ran off. I definitely lucked out. But this kid was probably 16,17 yrs old tops. We all need to watch out and be more aware of these young kids.

Punks will be punks. Ray, make sure you record an encounter with your cell phone so the rest of us can get a laugh out of it. I haven't been in a fight since high school, have better things to do with my fingers now, like trying to learn to shoot as good as you!

 

PS: If I did whack my wife she would probably get her 686 out and put a wadcutter somewhere I would not like........

asshats been playing this in Philly for years. Killed a guy last year, punched the manager of a starbucks while he was waiting on a train, victim fell to platform and had a seizure and passed. A life lost, a fiance in mourning, families ruined and 3 idiot teens all in jail for life some seriously stupid behavior.

I would love for one of these kids to try this on me. It would be so much fun.

 

So you think that when 3 scumbags approach you from the front giving you some BS you will maintain your situational awareness and defend yourself from the guy to your side and the actual agressor behind you too?

 

You must be one hell of a badass to look forward to being surrounded, with 5 to 1 odds against you, and (if complying with the law) bringing a knife to a possible gunfight, not to mention that if you somehow come out victorious, you will be bankrupt from the lawsuits/legal fees.

 

Somehow I don't think "it would be so much fun".

+1

 

somehow I think he is kidding.. but I have been jumped on more than one occasion.. and it sucked.. one time I did OK.. and luckily I did well enough to get charges pressed against me as well... but the other time I got beat up pretty bad.. both times the assholes got off with nothing more than a slap on the wrist.. the time I held my own.. the state declared it was "mutual combat" and encouraged us to dismiss charges against one another.. (one of the individuals involved went on to drive his car into a little kid killing him)... and the other situation no one was ever arrested for it.. and I simply went home got cleaned up and let it go.. but I was l pretty lucky in both situations..

somehow I think he is kidding..

 

I hope so, but I doubt it.

 

For anyone who feels confident dealing with an up close and personal criminal encounter, please do yourself a favor and do a good force on force class that includes drawing while in contact with your adversary (he isn't going to try to rob you from 7 yards away), and more importantly, dealing with multiple attackers combined with contact/physical assault.

Reminds me of.......

too bad there is no CCW in jersey for this.

 

Yes because getting punched in the face would justify a shooting.

But just as most CCW conversations go, not many people would try such a stunt when the victim could possibly shoot you.

Kind of reminds me when people were slapping random people trying to make it look like an accident. Here is a video of some guys trying to do it to this guys girl. To bad for them he knows how to fight. lol

Again that isnt correct. You shouldnt be thinking about shooting people because you get punched

It really depends on the situation. What if, for example, the victim doesn't get knocked out and the "savages" (as you called them in the other thread) all jump in and start pounding on the guy? You'd probably have a pretty good disparity of force defense. Not in NJ of course.. but in another state... maybe.

I saw this vid about 5 years ago and still awesome vid

That is different. One punch is very different from a gang assault. That's pretty obvious

They do this in Jersey city very frequently, but its always a pack of 15-17 year olds.

Agreed. My point was that maybe things like this wouldn't happen when there was the POSSIBILITY that it go very bad for the assailants.

How can a victim predict if it will only be one punch? CCW doesn't mean they actually have to shoot. Just having it on them, and being able to present the weapon as a sign of force COULD be enough to end the altercation. Of course it's all hypothetical. I do agree though, that a punch doesn't justify shooting.

The other problem is that if your get suckered and rolled you just lost your gun

Yes, it should be pretty obvious. Your generalized statement about what "isn't correct" left quite a bit of room for interpretation, particularly when these knockout games are (in most cases) being carried out by individuals within groups against singular victims.

 

Anyway. I'm not saying CCW is the answer to every problem, so we're mostly in agreement.

absolutely true

Being assaulted by a mob sounds a hell of a lot like a large disparity of force and thus reasonable fear for one's life. You have no idea where they intend to stop.

No kidding..i already said that i agreed with it being different when a mob attacks
