I heard about this other incident on another forum and hoped it was true. Too bad it wasn't. http://www.snopes.com/politics/satire/knockout.asp
""It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even his personal services to the defence of it, and consequently that the Citizens of America (with a few legal and official exceptions) from 18 to 50 Years of Age should be borne on the Militia Rolls, provided with uniform Arms, and so far accustomed to the use of them, that the Total strength of the Country might be called forth at a Short Notice on any very interesting Emergency." - George Washington. Letter to Alexander Hamilton, Friday, May 02, 1783

It started out as the polar bear game and the media made it pc by calling it the knock out game.

i am still trying to figure out how depraved one needs to be to think this was a good idea and it would be fun.   i don't even want to think what would have happen to me if i was cuaght pulling this type of crap.   I have little doubt i would be knocked out, the question would be how many people were beating my ass.
I always break all the clay pigeons,  some times its even with lead.

Imagine how much press this would be getting if it were all white on black, instead of the other way around.

I believe you need to go back many centuries to find the origin of this.  If it weren't for youtube many people would not be aware and the media would not be hyping it.

If I appear taller than other men it is because I am standing on the shoulders of others.
