    Has this become a problem in your area? My 15 year old son tells me that some kids from his HS have done this very thing. Approach a complete stranger and sucker punch them. It's becoming a very real problem in St. Louis, one man was beaten to death last year by 3 young men. Another was beaten nearly to death, found by the MAYOR of St Louis laying in the street, and they still let the kids walk. I did alot of stupid pranks as a kid, but I never imagined doing anything of this sort.

    Sounds like a complete and total lack of parenting. Thankfully, I have not heard of it happening around here.

    Never heard of such nonsense. If my kid ever did such a thing, he would know exactly how it feels

    Sounds like my area has the market cornered on the KO game. Much like we do with jean shorts, mullets and El Camino's. :D

    What do you expect from our little corner of the state? Well, I guess I don't get to deal with it as much now. Don't leave out meth labs and such. Also, don't hate on the jean short britches. I'm bringing those back in style this spring in Texas. By the summer time the trend should reach So. IL and I'm sure you will be bringing your old Bugle Boy Jeans shorts back out of the closet.

    Yep, the punks are out to have some fun at innocent peoples expense. They need to run into someone who has a conceal carry permit.

    kids use to play a KO game where they'd push against anothers throat till O2 supply ran low and they got KO'ed, but never heard of this game.... i'd like to see what happens when this game goes wrong for those attacking innocent folks. makes me sick

    Mike Tyson was notorious for the "KO game" when he was a teenager. He is/was a piece of crap that used to knockout old people in elevators and the like. As for the judges letting them walk, they should be removed from office if need be by the citizens. Too many judges sit back and think they are untouachable.

    All it will take is them running across the wrong one and not KOing them and then one of or more than one of them getting shot by a person carrying. Its sad but, it will probably happen andthats what it takes to stop this kind of crap.

    The sad thing is, they aren't likely to pick someone who might possibly fight back. Calling them "cowards" would be an insult to cowards. I played the KO game, but it was only after someone had hit me or swung at me back in the day. :D Unfortunately, I'd not be a likely target for the types to try their little game on, as they'd be in for a BIG surprise. Agreed, a little LEAD could cure these kids problems. I think I'd just be likely to shoot them in the leg though so they could suffer a bit.....

    But using something like THIS ( http://www.bladeplay.com/item--ZAP-Stun-Gun-Knuckles--3867 ) on them might be even more fun.... :D
