Mayor elect Bill de Blasio doesn’t have to wait to take the oath of office as mayor of NYC to inform New Yorkers what is his plan to deal with this Knockout phenomenon.
The time is now for him to take the bull by the horns and get some of his friends in the city council to introduce new laws with harsh penalties that makes certain to these low life thugs that this type of behavior will not be tolerated.
New York Daily News reports a 76-year-old Brooklyn woman was punched in the back of the head by a stranger in what residents fear could be the city's tenth "knockout game" attack.Yvonne Small fell to the ground after being punched by her assailant on Alabama Ave. and Wortman Ave. in East New York about 11:35 a.m., according to police sources.She was treated at Brookdale University Hospital and discharged. Her attacker was being sought by police.As she was being attacked, an already-planned rally against the sick game was wrapping up in the same neighborhood.Activists called for an end to the "game," in which punks try to knock a stranger unconscious with a single punch, then post video of the attack online."We're not going to tolerate anybody striking, hitting or putting their hands on our women in any shape or fashion," said Tony Herbert, president of the National Action Network Brooklyn chapter.
