^^^im not gonna watch the video but this recent media coverage of this as a "gang of black kids" seeking out "single white people" is a myth.

Here’s the fascinating thing about this “spreading” trend: nobody seems to have any evidence that it’s spreading, or that it’s new, or that it’s racially motivated, or that black youths are the ones typically responsible, or that whites are typically targeted. This hasn’t stopped Mark Steyn, Thomas Sowell, and Matt Walsh from describing this specifically as a crime committed by blacks against whites, CNN from claiming that it is “spreading,” or Alec Torres at NRO from say it is “evidently increasing [in] popularity.” Most sources claim that it is spreading, and a number of sources claim that it is racially motivated. But how do they know? Where are they getting their data from?

The Knockout Game Myth and its Racist Roots

they might not be seeking out whites to knock out, it just happens that way...stupid cameras making these punk kids and media fueling the racial tension...after all if whites were going around randomly knocking out blacks it would be labeled a hate crime immediately

A perfect example of why CCW permit should be allowed more in California... I'm applying for mine next year.
I love CA, but the firearms restrictions on it's citizens is ridiculous. I live in GA now and it's awesome for guns and self defense with guns. Im in the military and I don't even need to get a CC permit or anything...the military ID suffices, lol.

I remember a case where some dude shot and killed some gangster in the SGV in an obvious self defense situation and he was put on fucking trial for murder or manslaughter or some crazy horseshit.

Here in GA, iv'e known of dudes who merked some dudes robbing a conveniance store and the only thing they got in trouble for was fleeing the scene afterward, lol.

It's the stupid women who think they run this state (Diane Feinstein and Barbara Boxer)... rich people never have these kinds of problems, they have body guards or security watching them 24/7 so they don't know what it's like to have to defend your property or yourself with a firearm. I hear Fresno City is friendliest when it comes to CCW.
