Critics on White Girl Bleed a Lot “At least author Colin Flaherty is tackling this issue (or racial violence) in his new book, White Girl Bleed a Lot: The Return of Racial Violence to America and How the Media Ignore it.” Allen West “Reading Colin Flaherty’s book made painfully clear to me that the magnitude of this problem is even greater than I had discovered from my own research. He documents both the race riots and the media and political evasions in dozens of cities across America.” Thomas Sowell National Review (one of three columns on White Girl) White Girl Bleed a Lot ”has gone viral.” Sean Hannity “A favorite of conservative voices.” Los Angeles Times Page 5. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. ”As the brutal “knockout” game sweeps across the U.S., one author isn’t surprised by the attacks or the media reaction. Colin Flaherty, author of the book “White Girl Bleed a Lot: The Return of Racial Violence to America and How The Media Ignore It,” began chronicling the new wave of violence nearly a year ago — revealing disturbing racial motivations behind the attacks and a pattern of media denial.” Daily Caller. “Brilliant. Could not put it down.” Alex Jones “A determined reporter, Colin Flaherty, broke ranks to document these rampages in a book titled, White Girl Bleed a Lot” David Horowitz Best Selling Author “Colin Flaherty has become Public Enemy No.1 to the leftist media because of his research on black culture of violence.” Neal Boortz “Prescient. Ahead of the News. Garnering attention and sparking important discussions.” Breitbart.com. Page 6. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. “In White Girl Bleed a Lot, Colin Flaherty bravely goes where the major media dare not follow. In short, he tells the truth about America’s otherwise unspoken epidemic of black on non-black crime.” “What makes this otherwise grim saga so readable is Flaherty’s magical sense of humor. Among contemporary authors only Flaherty’s fellow alchemist Mark Steyn has a comparable ability to transform dread into gold.” Jack Cashill. “Colin Flaherty, author of White Girl Bleed a Lot and American Thinker contributor, has done more than anyone else to call attention to the ongoing cover-up of this undeclared race war.” Thomas Lifson American Thinker Colin Flaherty is a journalist-hero for defying the conventional wisdom and braving the critics in with his insight and persistence.

Aww, hell no. “Colin Flaherty is at the epicenter of the Knockout Game.” Slate “Must Read.” NewsMax “Important book.” Armstrong Williams Editor of Ben Carson’s magazine “My compliments to Colin Flaherty for White Girl Bleed a Lot. A very interesting book that points out an important problem that needs to be confronted.” Milt Rosenberg WGN Radio. “Love the book. It’s so encouraging to see others come forward and address this seemingly unaddressable issue. Good luck!” Anthony Cumia National Radio Show “While Girl Bleed a Lot” is an important entry into the debate over whether black racial violence exists and whether it should be reported on. While the debate continues, the book breaks through the barriers of censorship and transcends the anecdotal for a raw snapshot of cities under siege and a nation in denial.” Page 8.

New York Times Best Selling Author “Colin Flaherty is a great American.” Bill Cunningham syndicated radio host “Colin Flaherty is one of the best reporters I've ever worked with.” Former Editor San Diego Business Journal “It is abundantly clear that Kelvin Wiley would still be locked up were it not for the efforts of an investigative reporter acting on his own, Colin Flaherty, who dug for the facts that should have been seeking to prove Wiley’s guilt or innocence.” Congressman Lionel Van Deerlin, (ret.) San Diego Union-Tribune “Time and time again, Flaherty’s investigation, which he detailed in an article for the weekly San Diego publication The Reader last fall, raised issues about DiGiovanni’s credibility and the thoroughness of the investigation into the incident. ... In retrospect, Wiley said, he felt he got short shrift by the lack of a defense investigation--one that failed to turn up the witnesses that writer Flaherty did on his own, a year later. Flaherty's article, Wiley said, turned things around for him. Los Angeles Times “Great reporter.” John Stryker Meyer Author of Amazon #1 Best Seller “Across the Fence” Page 10. Knockout Game a Lie?

Who are you going to believe: Local reporters? Or those lying victims, videos and police reports? The Knockout Game is a “myth,” says the New York Times. USA Today insisted the Knockout Game was just a figment of white fear. Black on white racial violence? Sometimes called the Knockout Game? Ridiculous, said reporters all over the country. But the Knockout Game attacks just kept happening by the hundreds. Once and for all, let’s document them with videos, victims, stories and links that we can show to reporters, talk show hosts, family, friends and deniers of all kinds. And let’s keep it recent. Between this book and the White Girl Bleed a Lot web site, YouTube channel, and Facebook Page, this is by far the most complete collection of Knockout Game stories ever assembled. All this on top of the Chapter on the Knockout Game from White Girl Bleed a Lot. All with links. And a video where I assembled many of the attacks into one reel. Page 13. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. Once and for all let’s bury The Lie that the Knockout Game is a Lie. That is why I wrote this e-book. That is why I created the YouTube video. This is why this book has the largest collection of links and stories. That is why you have to share it. Post it. Talk about it. Give it away. Spread the word. There’s no other reason to read this. We simply cannot wait for the media to figure this out. To quote the great one: We are the media. By the time the Knockout Game became a national buzz word in November of 2013, I had been writing about it for two years. First in White Girl Bleed a Lot. Then dozens of times afterward in WND.com, FrontPage.com, Breitbart, AmericanThinker.com and lots of other places. Critics liked it: Thomas Sowell, Allen West, Breitbart, Joseph Farah, Thomas Lifson, the Daily Caller, WND, American Thinker, David Horowitz, Jamie Glazov and others said I was ahead of the curve. Way ahead. Others like the Los Angeles Times and Village Voice and Salon said I was making the whole thing up. National talk radio host Thom Hartmann said White Girl Bleed a Lot caused the Knockout Game. Just the way MSNBC said White Girl Bleed a Lot caused the Boston Marathon bombing. There is a lot of craziness surrounding the denials of the Knockout Game. The same kind of denial people use to ignore and deny other episodes of black mob violence and black on white crime that is wildly out of proportion. These denials cannot survive the truth. So let’s present that here without racism. Without rancor. Without apologies. Let’s start with a simple definition of the Knockout Game: Racial violence, often spontaneous, often marked with laughter and videos. Sometimes players call it the Knockout Game. Sometimes they don’t. Let’s not make it too complicated: Start with some black people. Find a white person. An Asian will do. Hit them as hard as you can as long as you like. Or until your arms are tired or the victim is knocked out. Or dead. Page 14. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. Sometimes there is robbery. Sometimes planning. Sometimes video. Sometimes they call it something else: Polar Bear Hunting. Hitting woods (as in peckerwoods.) Sometimes they don’t call it anything at all except having fun attacking people. That’s why there is almost always laughing. If you attack someone for the hell of it, you are playing the Knockout Game. If you are white or Asian or gay or female or young or old and a black person attacks you just because they feel like it, you are a victim of the Knockout Game. Rifling your pockets and stealing a cell phone does not change a thing about the nature of this game. It’s a black thing. You don’t have to understand it. Or explain it. Just know that it happens. We’ll meet some victims who wish it had not. And like other cases of racial violence documented in White Girl Bleed a Lot: The return of racial violence to America and how the media ignore it, reporters deny and even encourage it. As crazy as the predators are, the reporters who enable it are crazier. Way crazier. “Colin,” I can hear them say, “we don’t have any evidence that crime is racially motivated.” That is their mantra. Their out: Ignore the evidence, then say the evidence does not exist. There is a ton of evidence: Victims, videos, witnesses, police reports, 911 calls. And when you string them together, you get an undeniable pattern of relentless racial violence. That is what we have with the Knockout Game. And what we are showing here. Before we start with stories of violence and denial and encouragement, a word about the statistics on black crime: They are bad. Really bad. Black crime is 6, 8, 10, 40, 100 times worse than white crime. And if you consider Asians, multiply that difference by another ten. As bad as they are, black crime statistics are way worse. You can check out my video podcast on that. Or wait for my next book. Or read about it in White Girl Bleed a Lot. If you can’t wait, know this: Cities like Baltimore and New York are arresting 50 percent fewer people. Black juries tend not to convict black criminals. Witness intimidation and ‘stitches for snitches’ hides even more black crime. Ask a cop. Go ahead. Even so, some insist that white on black violence is worse than black on white. They point to hate crime statistics as proof. When they are no proof at all. Virtually none of the hundreds and hundreds of cases of the Knockout Game and racial violence cited here are listed as hate crimes. To some, that means they are random. And race has nothing to do with it. A single crime, by itself, is meaningless. But when you put them together and string them and see the pattern, there is no doubt the pattern shows what the crime stats say: Black mob violence and black crime is astronomically out of proportion. Let me help out The Deniers. Maybe they already know this. Maybe not. Either way, if what I am saying in this book and in White Girl Bleed a Lot is not true, it would be really, really easy to shut me down. Page 15. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. Just produce other stories, other videos, of white on black violence. All you have to do is show the violence is proportional among races. Should be easy. I’ve been waiting for three years. Guess it’s not. Or they would have done it by now. My Favorite Knockout Game Story. And it is not just because a reporter gets beat up. Ok, I guess that’s part of it. Let’s start with a story from the gang where denial is an art form: National Public Radio. NPR cannot make up its mind whether the Knockout Game is an “old phenomenon with fresh branding,” or just a conservative fairy tale spun by You Know Who. (Me.) Either way, they are pretty sure they do not want anything to do with it. Meanwhile, victims, witnesses and videos continue to pour forth. Even an NPR producer, John Hingsbergen was a victim. His testimonial, reluctant as it is, is emerging as my favorite. Even more than Congressman Cleaver’s ‘don’t make the black kids angry’ manifesto.1 Well, maybe not that much. But close. Let’s get to it:2 It comes in a comment to an NPR story about the Knockout Game, and how it is a myth because crazy white people make up stuff like that about black people all the time. The show is called Code Switch: And their mission is to let NPR listeners see their world through their lens. A racial lens. A lens that minimized, denied and condoned racial violence. NPR program directors are usually OK with that. Until this one came face to face with the Knockout Game: “Folks, as a Program Director at an NPR station, I don't usually get involved in discussions like this, but I have personal experience with this so-called game,” Hingsbergen said last year in the comments section of an NPR blog on race called Code Switch. “It was this past May (2013), just a block from the Hilton Garden Inn on First St, N.E. While I was taking a brief walk around the area, within sight of the hotel and with plenty of other people on the sidewalk, a teenager walked up to me and smacked me on the side of the head. Thankfully, he was not strong enough to "knock out" this 60+ year old so all I did was spin around, only to see him take off running to the other side of the street to join two companions who were laughing as if it was the most hilarious thing they'd ever seen.” Page 16. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. Laughing is a constant of the Knockout Game. That’s what people do when they are having fun. Psychologist Marlin Newburn will explain that in a bit. Hingsbergen gets to the hard part: “Is there a racial component? I choose to believe not but sadly this was an African American teenager attacking an older white man.” I asked Hingsbergen why reporting the news without fear or favor should be an occasion of sadness. No reply. Maybe he was afraid someone would laugh at him, again. Let’s not be too hard on Hingsbergen. I don’t think we’ll be seeing his name in the credits of the NPR flagship show Fresh Air with Terry Gross any time soon. I once did a story that got a black man out of prison. I showed he was unjustly convicted of trying to kill his white girlfriend. His name is Kelvin Wiley. Court TV devoted an hour to the case after Wiley was released from prison. I was a hero on NPR and the Los Angeles Times then. Today, not so much. Back to Hingsbergen. We will see more of this. Lots more: Wishful thinking that gets in the way of reporters and editors doing what they are supposed to do. Tell us what is happening. Like Portland, Oregon. The summer of 2013 will be remembered as the time Portland figured out it was in the middle of a nasty bout of black mob violence. A lot of it directed at white people who ride bicycles.3 Playing the Knockout Game with people on bikes is a special kind of fun and it happens on bike trials all over the country. But Tim Oberlander did not want us to know that. Oberlander said he wanted to be able to live in a city that “does good things for good people.”4 So what’s wrong with that? Everything. Oberlander is a news editor at KGW TV in Portland. His city is under attack from black mob violence centered around Martin Luther King Boulevard. This mob has been attacking bike riders, housewives, students, seniors, you name it. 5 These attacks are part of a long — but quiet — history of racial violence in a liberal enclave that prides itself on racial tolerance and harmony. But in reality is just a more determined form of denial and deceit. But you would never know it from Oberlander. Oberlander and his station raised money to fix the teeth of a recent victim of black mob violence. “Now we’ve raised money for Andy’s (Sweeney’s) teeth, I can say that we live in a city that does good things for good people.”6 Page 17. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. Oberlander might think he is a good person. But some of his viewers say he is a dangerous person for leaving out the descriptions of the predators in his news accounts. Oops, that’s what reporters do when they want to tell you what is really happening but don’t have the nuts to say so. They play the “according to other people” game. So let’s rephrase that: I say that any news director that withholds details of violence that could help an audience avoid it is dangerous and stupid. Andy Sweeney’s toothless adventure began when he was riding home from the grocery store in August when a “group of teens” threw a traffic cone at him. Knocking him off his bike, leaving him with a concussion and two shattered front teeth in what used to be a winning smile. “It’s crazy,” Sweeney told KGW. “I don’t really understand their motivation or what they were going for.” Lots of readers figured it out, even if the KGW was determined to ignore it: “Great job ‘whitewashing’ the story,” said David Klassix at KGW’s reader comment section. “And failing to mention the attackers were black.” Said another, Chloe Ru “Hey KGW. I will help you do something called REPORTING THE FACTS instead of hiding the truth,” said Ru. Another victim said “her attackers were a group of [AFRICAN AMERICAN aka BLACK] teenage boys and she suspects they didn’t stop with her.” “Anyone with any information about a roaming pack of AFRICAN AMERICAN aka BLACK teenage thugs beating anyone else, please call…..Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. They care just as much as KGW does about the community’s safety.” Sweeney described his attackers on Twitter: “Black kids in hoodies.” Guess Oberlander doesn’t do the Twitter thing. After the sanitized version of the bike attacks became public, other victims of black mob violence in that area stepped forward as well, one at Reddit.com in response to Sweeney’s Tweet: Page 18. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. “Same thing happened to me once except it was rocks being thrown, and thankfully my teeth are intact. The best you can do is just avoid being around any collection of young black males. It isn’t being racist it’s just being practical.” Many of the attacks are centered around Martin Luther King Boulevard. Maybe local media thinks everyone already knows this is a black part of town. For the benefit of the out of towners, it is. Some readers of White Girl Bleed a Lot provided a link to the Chris Rock comedy bit, back when he was still doing this kind of thing: “I don’t care where you are in America, if you’re on Martin Luther King Boulevard, there’s some violence going down. It ain’t the safest place to be. You can’t call nobody and tell them you are lost on MLK.” (If you do, they will say) RUN! RUN! RUN! Besides joyful violence, there is one other part of the Knockout Game and racial violence that is almost always present: The media ignore it. Condone it. Or deny it. And Washington is full of NPR and other media outlets doing just that. Soon after L’Affaire Hingsbergen became public, it happened again: Ten black people attacked a still unidentified man in Washington, D.C. He lived. They laughed. "After the punch, I remember chuckling," he told the ABC affiliate.7 At least they got one part right, calling it a “disturbing trend sweeping D.C.” All except the part where everyone was black. Except the victims. In November 2013, Phoebe Connolly was riding her bike through a Washington, D.C. neighborhood when she passed through a group of black people. CNN calls them “teenagers.” 8 Then one "reached out and punched me in the face," she told Anderson Cooper. "The whole group of kids laughed.” The day before the same thing happened to another woman in the same place, Connolly said. Anderson Cooper did his best ‘I have no idea what is really going on here’ impression. He has it down: That’s what a lot of practice will do. A few days later, a black person punched New York Congresswoman Grace Meng in the head and stole her purse. She now believes she could have been the victim of the Knockout Game. She doesn’t remember the laughing, or much else about the attack on the streets of Washington.9 Racial violence is a regular and frequent part of life in the nation’s capital. So is black mob violence against Asians — all across the country. Page 19. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. A few days before on Halloween, a “large group of assailants” beat and robbed a 50year- old teacher at the Metropolitan Branch Trail, a hiking and biking path from Union Station downtown to the suburbs in Maryland.10 This was one of dozens of similar black mob attacks at the Metro Branch Trail over the last three years against bikers and hikers and joggers, sometimes using weapons including stun guns and pipes. Other times, just fists and feet and taunting. In June 2013, the Washington Post sent two reporters to do a story on the ritual mayhem at the trail. Despite the added brainpower, they were not able to detect a central organizing feature of the violence: All the assailants were black. Most of the victims were not. More often than not, they were laughing. Almost as if it were some kind of game. The reporters may have missed it, but many of the1200 readers who left comments did not. Said one: “"Youths","Kids" are just euphemisms for uncivilized violent animals like Trayvon Martin. They are racist to the core and want nothing more than "revenge" for the way their ancestors were treated 150 years ago.” There was even a comment from Reverend Bacon about some kind of game: “Yes, they usually remember to steal something, almost as an afterthought, so that their apologists can claim it was about robbery. In many recent examples of the knockout game, they have forgotten to do this.” This was months before the national media all of a sudden discovered the Knockout Game. As difficult as it is for writers for the Washington Post to discover a pattern in this avalanche of black on white violence, at least one Post scribe figured it out. The racial pattern part that is. In a November 2013 story, Washington Post columnist Mary Curtis declared that figuring out racist intent was easy: Just look at the pattern. For example, she says people who do not like Barack Obama are not going to come out and declare they are racist. Or leave a calling card. Or issue a press release. But if you look at the pattern, then it becomes “A Question of Race,” she said.11 And besides, say an increasing number of black reporters and government officials, white racism today is often sub-conscious. Including the Attorney General of the United States, Eric Holder.12 Even so, it’s easy to detect once you know how, Curtis said. If it is that easy to detect hidden racial animosity buried inside the minds that lurk behind the closed doors of Congress, how much simpler it has to be with hundreds and hundred of examples of black mob violence in the streets. Out in the open. Many on video. With many of the predators bragging about it on Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. Page 20. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. But the same people who look at Emmitt Till in 1955, Trayvon Martin in 2012 and Michael Ferguson in 2014 and declare this to be irrefutable proof of a pattern of racial violence also look at hundreds of cases of black mob violence and black on white crime and just shrug their shoulders. “We are color blind,” they say. Steve did not see a pattern until he became part of the pattern. He is a resident of Washington and a victim of racial violence. So are others he knows. His pattern began in October 2010 right after the John Stewart “Rally to Restore Sanity.” That was just a few days before the Republican landslide in the congressional elections. Maybe Stewart’s rally worked. Anyway, let’s get to the victim: I was walking away from the Jon Stewart event on the Mall when a girl came up behind me on the sidewalk on 14th Street and screamed that she had just been punched by a group of kids. I turned around to witness a group of 5-10 black kids colliding with pedestrians and throwing punches whenever they were confronted. Within a few seconds, they started pushing me in the back & when I responded a punch arrived to my throat and the group started running away when I attempted to notify police. Multiple friends refuse to attend events in certain parts of D.C. including Adams Morgan and Chinatown where a multitude of attacks have been perpetrated over the years. There is a persistent air of racial tension around the city. I have been attacked several times by gangs of blacks in D.C. (male & female) over the past few years. Soon after, Stewart declared the Knockout Game to be a fear-based figment of white imaginations. The NBC News black web site The Grio could not have been happier: “John Stewart mocks media coverage of the Knockout Game.”13 This is the same news organization that declared covering the Knockout Game was nothing more than “hysteria” that hurt black people.14 Not a word about the victims. Funny how often that happens — like all the time. This figment also makes regular stops on the Washington Metro -- another site of frequent black mob violence. Most of which goes unnoticed by the Washington Post and now, denied by Jon Stewart. But at least one D.C. outlet thinks it is a story: The UnSuck DC Metro blog. This is a typical report from 2011: “Harrowing Account of Yet More Metro Violence.”15 Page 21. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. I have never been more disgusted or shocked by what I witnessed Saturday night at the Anacostia Metro. I went to pick up a family member at the Metro, and just as she was telling me about the fights (Yes, plural!) that happened on the Green Line train [between L'Enfant and Anacostia], we witnessed a group of 6 to 8 young black teenagers kick, stomp, punch and push a lone teenage girl. I could not believe my eyes! I also could not believe there was not an officer in sight. When the family member arrived, she had her own story as well: When she got on the train toward Anacostia, a group of teenagers proceeded to verbally and physically assault a group of young women. One of the boys threw a bottle and another threw the contents of a bottle in one of the woman’s face. The assaults got so out of hand that some people landed on a woman and her baby. The attacking group had the doors to the train blocked so people couldn’t get off the train. My cousin told me she was so scared that she hid behind some seats and pulled out the box cutter she used for work. And every time the web site runs another story of racial violence, readers -- often dozens at a time -- post their most recent encounter with black mob violence in Washington. Some on video. Such as the two white women attacked by a black mob on the Red Line in Southeast Washington. No one knows what these two women were doing on that Metro in that part of Washington. On the video, they told their attackers they “did not want any trouble.” To the black mob that confronted them, threatened them, beat them and robbed them, it was no trouble at all. All the while one of the members of the crew was rolling video.16 Did they call it the Knockout Game? Probably not. Did they laugh? Oh yes. Are more and more people in Washington coming to believe that non-black people are targets of black mob violence under whatever name reporters choose to ignore this month? Absolutely. Now that is a pattern. Page 22. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. Page 23. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. Chapter Two. New York Times Denies the Knockout Game Walter Duranty Lives. Look him up. By November 2013, NBC, ABC and other networks were happy to follow the leader: They produced stories — similar to the New York Times’ denials — detailing the attacks. Then denying or ignoring that racial violence had anything to do with them. As much as the Times wishes the Knockout Games were just another urban legend, here’s the difference: There’s too many videos and witnesses and friends and neighbors and police reports and others demanding the truth. All wondering why press is so eager to dismiss these “random” attacks from “unruly teenagers.” Remember: These are the same reporters who buy in – and create – the paradigm that the United States is the most race-conscious country on the planet. And that is easy to see: Just pick up any daily newspaper any day of the week and count the stories about black caucuses, black colleges, black labor unions, black TV, black radio, black businesses, black products. You get the picture. But ask these same reporters about black mob violence and black on white crime and why newspapers pretend it does not exist, and all of a sudden they want you to know they are color blind. I did not create this paradigm. I’m just reporting on its soft underbelly: Racial resentment, hostility and violence. Page 24. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. As part of the flurry of news stories surrounding the Knockout Game, media outlets trotted out a psychologist who says ignore the video. Ignore the overwhelming evidence of black mob violence. There's no pattern in the predators. Or in the white and Asian victims: "It's hard to excuse this behavior, there's no purpose to this," Jeffrey Butts, a psychologist specializing in juvenile delinquency, told the AP. "When someone runs into a store and demands money, you can sort of understand why they're doing it, desperation, whatever. “But just hitting someone for the sheer thrill of seeing if you can knock someone out is just childish." This model of denial of the racial component of black mob violence is popularized in dozens of seminars around the country every year at local and national chapters of the National Association of Professional Journalists. Their advice for covering racial violence? Don't. It also echoes what Jesse Washington, AP's race reporter, told your humble correspondent about racial violence after the acquittal of George Zimmerman for the killing of Trayvon Martin. No such thing, quoth he. At least not black on white. More and more national and local news outlets are picking up the beat: Despite the avalanche of news stories on the Knockout Game, most still ignore the central organizing feature of the violence: The attackers are black -- and the victims are not. Stop the Presses: A white person was involved in a Knockout Game in Philadelphia. And an Arab played Knockout with a Jew in Brooklyn. So "all" is no longer correct. The new number is this: 99.98 percent of the attackers are black. NBC affiliates around the country got into the act as well. After ignoring dozens of recent examples of black mob violence over the last two years, NBC weighed in with yet another shrink: People with Type T personalities, which characterizes risk-takers and thrill-seekers, are motivated to commit violent acts, like smacking strangers in public, according to Professor of Educational Pyschology Frank Farley. "Many of the perpetrators may be these T types and one of their things is pushing the envelope," Farley told NBC Philadelphia. "It's risky to go up and slap someone in public." NBC and its witch doctor may be unclear about the level and intensity of racial violence across the country. But the readers at the Washington Post are not. After a recent story about the Knockout Game in Washington, they unleashed a storm of critical fire at the paper for refusing to tell the truth about black mob violence. Here's just one of many comments: "It is amazing how the Washington Post can report about this phenomenon without the issue of racial violence coming up one into the discussion. It is a shame that honesty took a back seat to what is really going on here." Denying the reality of the Knockout Game is just another example of denying the reality of racial violence. And that game is even older than Knockout. Philadelphia is center of denial as well as violence. The City of Brotherly Love has been the scene of more than 100 episodes of black mob violence over the last three years. Some resulting in permanent injury and death, many on video. It got so bad that Mayor Michael Nutter Page 25. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. went to a black church to plead with black people to stop the black mob violence – violence he denied even existed just a few months before. Black mob violence is also such a regular event at Overbrook High School in Philadelphia that a school staffer recently appeared on the local CBS affiliate to plead with parents and police for help with the violence and anarchy that are an everyday part of life at this black high school: "It's mayhem. Students are in the halls, they're smoking in the bathroom; cigarettes, marijuana," said a worker at the school, who asked not to be identified. "We can't contain them and it's really hazardous for us working and these kids are not being educated at all." "It's a zoo in here. Parents really need to come up here and see what's going on in this school because it's ridiculous," said the worker. The staffers remarks echo earlier comments from 2010, when a federal judge found that black students at South Philadelphia High School had assaulted and harassed Asian students daily -- for years. The principal said she did not call police because she did not want to "criminalize" the black students. Even so, the Philadelphia Inquirer dutifully ignores the epidemic of black mob violence in schools, downtown, and the gentrified South Philadelphia neighborhood. "But it's unclear if the trend even exists," said the paper this week. The Inquirer received a Pulitzer for its reporting on violence in Philadelphia schools. But if you want to learn anything from the series about racial violence, bring your magnifying glass to read about it -- because most of the time the topic is discussed only to to minimize it. Or say how much better it is today than before -- when the Inquirer ignored it even more completely. The upward trend of racial harmony was not clear to Steve Huber when he wrote an article for Philadelphia Magazine titled "Being White in Philly." Huber talked about the unrelenting racial violence and the fear it creates among white people. Mayor Nutter said the article was "disgusting" and called for an investigation by the City's Human Rights Commission. The Philadelphia Inquirer, again, took a back seat on racial crime and violence: The article was seen as "dwelling on negative experiences that whites had with blacks that often fit into racial stereotypes." Racial Journalism 101: Crime statistics are stereotypes. But leave them out and the story is "anecdotal." Best not to do anything. Class dismissed. Marlin Newburn has seen and experienced black mob violence and black on white crime from many different angles: As a Detroit college student. A court appointed psychologist. A prison psychologist. He recently retired from 30 years in the criminal justice system, up close and personal with racial violence like the Knockout Game. "The media's claim of racial non-discrimination borders on a comic-tragedy," Newburn said. "The simple response to their efforts to protect the Black Grievance Industry's false message is to note the race of the victims. From working with black felons over the years, one Page 26. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. learns they share two common traits: Perpetuate the fantasy of black victimhood by the hands of whites, and to always be race loyal. Victims are chosen by race and ease of assault." Thus the pattern where there is "no pattern." In St. Louis, where the Knockout Game first gained popularity, a prosecutor said one man alone was responsible for 300 cases of the Knockout Game.17 Today, she’s not sure if that predator was telling the truth. What if he only did 10 percent of that? That is still a lot. But The Times ignored that. Just like the Times would later ignore Philadelphia judge Wayne Bennett who said ‘hell yes black on white violence exists: White people deserve it.’18 A view point repeated on the Bill Maher show in September 201419 – and many times in between. Racial resentment and hostility are now mainstream. And when reporters encounter it, they shrug their shoulders and try to pretend it is something other than what it is. They even ignored Al Sharpton when he admitted it existed.20 Newspaper editors and reporters say stories about black mob violence are examples of the “fallacy of stacking data” because they say in a big country, you can find anything you want happening all the time. Cherry picking. But people who present statistics of the astronomical levels of black crime are accused of stereotyping. Profiling. Either way, the result is the same: Ignore. Deny. And when overwhelmed with evidence, excuse, explain and even encourage. Following The Times formula, reporters produced stories like this one in November 2013 in Philadelphia, where the local NBC affiliate reported on another example of the Knockout Game without citing its central organizing feature: The race of the attacker. And the race of the victim. I can hear the editors now: “Colin, you don’t have any evidence that the central organizing feature of this attack is race.” Me: “I didn’t have that evidence for the first one. Or second. Or tenth. But now that we are in the hundreds, I’m starting to detect a pattern.” Them: Crickets. Back to Philly as the NBC affiliate picks up the story:21 The male victim was riding his bike along the 900 block of Catherine Street in the Bella Vista section of the city just before 8 p.m. on Friday when he was randomly punched by a group of teens, police said. Page 27. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. After being hit, police say the cyclist asked the group -- made up of five teen boys and three teen girls -- why they hit him. Without answering, the group then continued beating the man. Usually the attackers are more verbose. In a different attack, when the victim asked the same question, one of the attackers stopped beating and laughing long enough to explain: “It’s not our fault you can’t fight.”22 First things first on this bike attack: The attack was not random. The attackers were black. The victim was white. Fitting a pattern of dozens of cases of black mob violence in Philadelphia over the last two years. In 2013, Demetrius Murphy, one of those accused in a notorious St. Louis Knockout Game, was shot and killed trying to break into a St. Louis home. He was 15. His grandfather compared Demetrius to Trayvon Martin, and said despite his criminal history he was a good boy and never wanted to hurt anyone.23 To their credit, the St. Louis media reminded people that Murphy was one of the accused on trial for playing the Knockout Game -- the mayor stumbled on his victim -- when the main witness disappeared. The judge was forced to dismiss the most notorious case of the Knockout Game in St. Louis. The mayor called it witness tampering. The accused laughed. The victim worried they would come back. They did. And threatened him. Marvell Weaver has a different story. One which has plenty of “street cred.” Weaver got famous in 2013 when he invented a new twist on the Knockout Game: Use a taser. Weaver jammed a taser -- KL-800 Type Stun Gun capable of generating 1.8 million volts -- into the ribs of a man waiting for his daughter at a school bus stop. Weaver pulled the trigger. Nothing happened. Page 28. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. The predator then became the victim: The object of Weaver’s aborted taser blast pulled a .40 caliber Smith and Wesson revolver and then something did happen: He shot Weaver as he tried to escape to the getaway van where two of his accomplices waited. According to MLive.com:24 “Weaver ran, sat down across the street, his leg going numb, bleeding. Pleading. “‘I’m sorry, please don’t kill me, I don’t know why I did that, I’m high you know, I just wanna go home,’” the teen told the man who had just shot him.” From his jail cell, Weaver contributed to an on-line forum that asked, “have you played the knockout game?25 “I played about 6 or 7 times but the last time was my last. Decided to taze the poor fella then shortly after got shot 2 times. I’m in jail for a year but I’m a changed man now.” He also talks about it on video.26 ABC News took the denial to a new level over the same weekend when it reported that a Denver man was one of the “first people in that city to be a victim of the "knockout" game.” This contradicts earlier reports of similar racial violence that rocked Denver in 2009 and 2011. It took a while, but the black mob violence eventually became so blatant and so public that even the ABC affiliate could not ignore it any more. Maybe the part where the predators are sharing their feelings gave away the game: “I fucking hate white people,” said one during an attack. Here’s a portion of that report:27 A couple dozen arrest warrant affidavits unsealed Friday offer chilling insights into the 26 raciallymotivated “blitz attacks,” which stretched from July 17 to Nov. 17. One unidentified suspect told police “that the members of his gang earn status in the gang by beating up ‘white dudes,’” according to court records. He added that the gangs targeted “drunk white guys,” exiting bars and nightclubs in the entertainment district. The suspects allegedly bragged about knocking out white victims with one punch to the head. Victims Page 29. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. lying on the ground were “stomped” and even tossed through glass windows. Targeting white people for violence then bragging about it? And local reporters thought this was not important enough to mention when it returned in 2014? Come on, man. In its Denver report, NBC trotted out the same experts as the other national news outlets, saying the Knockout Games probably did not even exist. And if they did, they certainly had nothing to do with race. They also came up with a solution: “Juvenile delinquency experts say a good punishment for these teens would be empathy training, such as volunteering at a homeless shelter.”28 Anyone else think it is strange for so many people to try and solve a problem they say does not even exist? Anyone think it is strange that reporters do not even ask that question? Let’s do a laundry list -- however incomplete -- of some recent Knockout Game attacks. But first, let’s start with some of the bigger denials. Page 30. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. Page 31. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. Chapter Three. Knockout Denials “It is virtually impossible for people of color to not notice race.” Glenn Singleton Courageous Conversations Every Knockout Game is followed by loads of denials. Not from the perps – they often brag about it on Facebook or Twitter or Instagram. But from the suits in the newsrooms and city halls who ignore, condone and deny they ever happened. And for our purposes, the denials are more interesting than the acts of racial violence because the deniers are the crazy ones. Setting the tone, of course, is the New York Times, lettings its acolytes know the Knockout Game is more of a myth than a spreading menace.29 The NPR denial of the Knockout Game was true to form: Set up some weirdly ridiculous conditions, then blame crazy conservatives when this mythical game does not meet their nonexistent guidelines. But there are thousands of flies in this smug ointment: An NPR producer is just one of the many victims who has spoken out about the Knockout Game. 30 A family court judge in Philadelphia, Wayne Bennett, took denials of racial violence and the Knockout Game to a new level. He did not deny their reality, he just denied that black on white crime was a bad thing.31 He said white people deserve it. Line ‘em up: Christian Science Monitor, Los Angeles Times, USA Today, Newsday, John Stewart and many of the rest of the usual suspects: Nothing happening here. Lining them up is probably the best way to see them: “Fact is, it’s a myth.” Blurring reality stokes fears, raises ratings - latimes.com32 This guy is a family court judge. The Field Negro: Silencing the Negro by any means necessary.33 And don’t forget the original classic: White Girls Bleed a Lot. And so do black boys. Page 32. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. Of course, no denial of racial violence is complete without hearing from the hipsters — who alternate between being the biggest victims and the biggest deniers.

Examples include: "You can take the kid out of Detroit but you can't take the Detroit out of the kid." Or: "It is NO coincidence that the vast majority of those incarcerated, are of African American descent. Their culture promotes this kind of "thuggish" behavior." These types of generalizations do not promote constructive dialogue.” And they get removed. Larry Elder figured it out: “From a distance, the media can spot some lone idiot holding up an offensive sign at a tea party rally. But when it comes to black perp/white victim crime, there is a very different attitude.” 40 Page 33. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no.

Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. Chapter Four. The Fatal “Prank:” Knockout Game in New Jersey Ha. Ha. Ha: You are dead. Seven Days in November. By November 2013, more and more people in the media had to start admitting there was something out there called the Knockout Game. That did not stop them from continuing their denial that race had anything to do with it. The CBS affiliate in New York had a different name for it: Teenage “prank.”50 Whatever the term, Ralph Santiago is dead -- just another nameless, faceless victim of what police call unprovoked assaults from black people on non-black people. The teenage prank on Santiago took place September 10, 2013, but the real damage was done in an identical attack 27 years ago. A group of black people stalked and beat Santiago near his Bronx home, leaving this father, gymnast and artist with brain damage; unable to do anything but wander the streets in a permanent fog.51 Even so, sometimes the 46-year- old Santiago was a happy man. A religious man. But on the streets, a vulnerable man. That is what three black people from Jersey City who arrived in Hoboken via the Light Rail discovered that afternoon. The CBS affiliate provides a few details: “Santiago was followed by the three teens while walking on 3rd Street between Adams and Jefferson Streets in Hoboken on Sept. 10 when one of the juveniles threw a punch at Santiago’s head in what detectives believe was a game of “knockout.” Page 35. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. Santiago then collapsed onto the fence, wedging his neck between two iron fence posts, where he died, the prosecutor said.” The alleged perpetrators turned themselves in when a video of them surfaced after the attack. They are in custody and charged with murder. Ten days before that, Jesse Downs was heading to his home in the suburbs of Boston when he came upon a group of black people at 2 p.m. Downs had left work early to get a head start on the Labor Day weekend. His girlfriend, Melissa Merrill, told the Eagle Tribune she just happened to be driving by when she saw Downs sitting on the curb, covered in blood.52 “He kept asking me, ‘Why did they jump me?’” Merrill said of how Downs reacted immediately after the attack. “He still had his money and paycheck on him. They didn’t touch it. “They attacked him right in broad daylight, in the middle of the sidewalk,” Merrill said. “They jumped him from behind and beat him in his head for no reason.” WHDH reports the suspects were "hitting (the victim) in the face and head." And that one of the suspects "...slammed him on his head on the pavement." After three brain surgeries, Downs is still in the hospital, unresponsive. His survival is still in question. Two men have been charged with assault and witness intimidation. Page 36. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. Witness intimidation? Oh yes, that happens so much in black mob violence and black crime that at least one district attorney called it an epidemic.53 And while you try to get your head around this enormous threat to the criminal justice system, also think about what witness intimidation does to the reported level of black crime. Statistically, it makes a good chunk of it disappear. As if it never happened. And all this on top of black crime rates that are already astronomically out of proportion. Look for way more on that in my next book and e-book. The weekend before that, in Syracuse, Jim Gifford was beginning his Saturday the way he started every day: He walked to the local 7-11 for a newspaper, donuts, coffee and a can of soup. At 6:08 a.m., the 70-year- old Gifford was confronted by “five or six men” in their 20’s. “Award winning columnist Sean Kirst” of the local paper reports: “Two of them began striking and kicking Gifford. The beating continued after he fell to the ground.”54 Kirst quotes the local police as saying it “is too early to describe it as an example of the "knockout game," a chilling national trend involving anonymous attacks.” Later that week, police arrested Romeo Williams and charged him with assault. Williams had a pending felony weapons charge outstanding. According to Syracuse.com: At a press conference before Williams' arraignment, Syracuse Police Chief Frank Fowler said Williams celebrated inside the convenience store after he knocked Gifford unconscious. He continued beating the unconscious man after the brief celebration, according to police. The papers present lots of details save two: The assailants were black. And that kind of violence had been happening there a long time. No news about what, if any, charges the others at the attack will face. Kirst did remind his readers that a similar attack took place in Syracuse last spring. Curiously, he reported that two people were arrested, though as many as a dozen black people were present at that attack where a 51-year- old man died. Probably just forgot. And links to the story from local media: All dead, except one small reminder from a cop 55 blog. That happens a lot too. Page 37. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. Chapter Five. California Knockout Game: The Liberal Librarian This can’t be happening. Not to me. I like Obama. “I kill all the white people in the movie. How great is that.”56 -- Jamie Foxx Before his encounter with the Knockout Game, Paul Lane was “a lefty. As left as you can get,” he said. He supported Obama. Intends to vote for Hillary. Or least he did. That was before November 7, 2013. The day everything changed for Paul. The day Kenneth Johnson walked into the Contra Costa library and played the Knockout Game. 57 With the New York Times-reading, liberal-loving, Obama-voting, brie-eating, white wine-drinking, Northern California librarian. “It was 2:49 in the afternoon,” said Lane. “And this black guy, I won’t say he was a kid, he was 21 years old, comes into the room in the library. I was helping a 67-year -old guy with history and old movies, because I know that stuff. He was smiling as if he knew the guy I was helping. Then he -- Johnson -- walks up to the patron and hits him on the side of the head as hard as he can.” Three weeks later, in court, when Lane told his story, Johnson’s lawyer objects: ‘The witness doesn’t know how hard my client can hit,’ said the lawyer. Back to the library: Lane was about to find out. He yelled at Johnson to stop hitting the patron. He did. Then he jumped over Lane’s desk and starting hitting and kicking him. It got real bloody real fast. “So the guy jumps over the library desk and started beating me. And hits me about 20 or 25 times. I can't remember exactly cause I’m kinda blocked out a bit. Yeah he really whaled into me. He decked the patron with one punch. He hit me in ear. In the side of the head. The top of the head. I was bleeding from the nose, eyes, mouth, ears.” Lane crawled into the other room and asked for help. Then it was over. Later, the newspapers would say the injuries were non-life threatening. Which of course depends on how Page 38. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. you define life: The library walls were spattered with blood. Lane cannot pick up a book, let alone think about going back to work. He has headaches and “major concussion issues.” And other issues, maybe even bigger: “I'm a 58- year- old white man who work(ed) as a "liberal Librarian" in Northern California,” he said. “Not your typical WND reader, but as a research Librarian I read a lot of news sources. And this attack was exactly the way you describe in your book and articles. Exactly the same.” Lane was referring to White Girl Bleed a Lot. Johnson left the library the same way he arrived: His mother drove him. But in their rush to get away, first they could not start their car. Then Kenneth insisted on taking the wheel. His erratic driving made him easy to find. Within 30 minutes he was in police custody. Then the real games began. Ralph Malatesta knows them well. Two years ago, he was the victim of a similar attack 3000 miles away in Delaware. The police caught his attackers, bloodied and bruised at his hands, after Malatesta refused to turn over his money. “It turns out they had been on a robbery spree in that neighborhood for weeks,” said Malatesta. “And five people were willing to press charges. But every time it came up for a trial, we would all show up in court, but the robbers asked for a continuance. So the five other people got sick of the delay and stopped showing up. But I stuck with it and they were eventually convicted.” Kenneth Johnson and his lawyer are using the same playbook. So far, they have delayed the court proceedings at least twice. But that doesn’t matter to Lane. “They cancelled it to see if I would really show up the next time. I did. It’s very exhausting and I do not have any stamina as a result of the beating. But I’m not giving up.” Page 39. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. Meanwhile, in the local papers, police say they want help with the case. Especially the motive. They just can’t figure out why Johnson did what he was alleged to have done. Why anyone would. Maybe they should call former Michigan prison psychologist Marlin Newburn. He spent 30 years in the criminal justice system learning about motives and racial violence. And hatred. Up close and personal. He has seen a lot of this: The violence is about hate. And the hate is about race. Let’s give Newburn a listen: To people who practice this type of racial violence, all non-blacks are the enemy since they were weaned on the idea that whites/Asians/Hispanics/Martians were "keeping my people down." They may be functionally illiterate, and I have yet to meet one that wasn't, but their older family members or people in their neighborhood along with the popular culture drove that early message into their skulls. They believe that they have some black toxic-tribal license to attack, and the more brutal, the more "down with the struggle" they are. The degree of viciousness also demonstrates just how manly (or womanly) they are. In other words, the more sadistic, the higher the social and personal power status. It's also great street cred for them, the sacred status for assaulting the all-pervasive and imaginary white power structure, and in regard to Asians and Hispanics, those people are just "takin' jobs" from them. The people who practice this kind of racial violence -- like the Knockout Game -- have imaginary, social injustice tags as legitimate reasons to assault all non-blacks. To say the black assaults on non-blacks isn't racist is a blatant lie. Black predators are racist to the bone. Most all live the part in prison. As Lane’s case winds through the system, Lane is keeping an eye on all the media coverage the Knockout Game is receiving all over the country. He has a hard time believing what he is reading -- and hearing. “I listen to left wing radio,” he says. “And I could not believe it when I heard my favorite radio personality -- Stephanie Miller -- said the Knockout Game does not exist. That’s crazy.” Page 40. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. Lane’s entire life is upside down. He and his wife are moving to a safer place. He probably won’t be able to return to work. At least for a while. “I can’t get beat again,” he says. “I’ll die. I'm a liberal Obama supporter but that didn't stop the violence on me. I have serious concussion issues and my trust for young African American men in particular is now less than zero.” Post Script: Knockout Game is a still a myth, says the New York Times. Page 41. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. Chapter Six. More Knockout Game. Round Two Reporters still mock the Knockout Game. Still try to ignore the pandemic of black on white violence. But videos and victims just keep showing up -- let’s go to January 2014, starting in Philadelphia. 58 A white boy was walking home from school when two black people attacked him. A third captured it on video: As they shrieked and laughed, the black people punched, and kicked him over and over, eventually knocking him down. The boy did not report the crime to police. They learned about it from the CBS news affiliate. Page 42. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. The ABC news affiliate in Philadelphia was all over it too. 59 Most of it, anyway: “Teens” did it, the news crew dutifully reported. “Police now say two suspects have been arrested and investigators are looking for a third. They also say this definitely appears to be a part of the socalled Knockout Game.” Police say the boy suffered only “minor” injuries. And that is part of the problem says Taleeb Starkes, author of The Uncivil War. “If you look at the news accounts of these kinds of crimes, the police and press tell us this was not a major crime,” said Starkes. “There was not much money involved. The victim lived. But one of the reasons these crimes happen so much is that we take them so lightly. This kind of violent crime is life-changing and traumatic to the victim. But we rarely treat the predators that way. If they lose a little money and no one gets hurt, its no harm, no foul. That has to change.” In the meantime in Philadelphia another video surfaced of another Knockout Game. Also featuring a black assailant and a white victim. Also unreported to police.60 Page 43. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. These are just a few of the dozens of cases of the Knockout Game and black on white violence in Philadelphia over the last two months of 2013 and first month of 2014. “For someone to walk down the street and do this, this is not something new,” said a police spokesman to ABC. “From their demeanor and their overall actions, this is something that you can just about bet they have been involved in before.” Oh yeah: This has been happening a long time. Also in January in Seattle, another city that experiences regular and frequent cases of black mob violence, KIRO TV news reports one neighborhood experienced a “string of seemingly random attacks by teenagers.”61 The news station does not state what the police reports do: The suspects are black. “A woman was just a block from her home when she was punched in the back of her head by teenagers,” said the reporter. “Right in front of this Ethiopian church.” “This might be the third recent attack that was about violence more than anything else,” said the station. Two days before a group of teens “ransacked and terrorized” a Rite Aid drug store nearby. Then they attacked another person a few blocks away.” “Maybe somebody was daring them,” said Kathy Bell, a neighbor. “They’re just teenagers.” Where do people come up with these explanations? No, scratch that: Why do they? In New Orleans, a well-known local musician is in a coma after he was attacked by a group of black people on January 20, 2013. He was not robbed and “Doug Potter's family and friends believe he may have been a target of the "knockout" game,” said WWL TV.62 Police have video of the attack and of the suspects strolling and strutting away from the scene. WWL TV in New Orleans did identify the suspects by race. But the reporter did wonder why the musician was the object of the “senseless attack.”63 Page 44. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. New Orleans is a hot mess and getting hotter. In the summer of 2014, the local papers were full of attacks: Black on white, often mobs. Let’s look at a few, often reported by a local activist who is actually fighting crime like some kind of Super Hero. He goes by the moniker Cap Black: In the summer of 2014, the Wall Street Journal did a story about how Cap Black led an effort to get the charges dropped against a white homeowner who shot a black burglar.64 The initially reluctant District Attorney saw the light when the burglar --whom friends and neighbors say was an angel that was permanently damaged by the gunshot -- was caught burglarizing again. Now cometh Cap Black with two more stories in just a few days of racial violence in the gentrified hood in July 2014: An art teacher is walking home when a black mob set upon him and beat him. NOLA.com picks up the details: "I saw what was going to happen, and I ran," (the victim) Brumfield said. "But they had me on the ground before I could get there. They ripped my pants down. They stomped on my feet while I was trying to get away." He fought back, wielding his house keys. But it didn't help. "They kept dragging me back - into the dark. I thought they were going to kill me," he said. "It was like they had a plan, and I just happened to be the person who walked up. . . . It's the closest thing I've ever felt to true evil." At one point, he locked eyes with the boy he recognized from now-closed Drew Elementary. "He looked me straight in the eye, and there was nothing there," he said. 65 And oh yeah, said neighbors, another happened just a few days before. And a few days before. And a few days before that ... How about a little context on the art teacher from Cap Black: White people in black neighborhoods are targets. “This moment of White benevolence was moot as they locked eyes during the mass assault. It also graphically illustrates the ( often bloody ) limits of such benevolence in neighborhoods where it’s a form of masochism. Page 45. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. “Liberal White folks, would-be " urban pioneers, " plant their progressive or rainbow colored flags on ground controlled by people who see them as targets, not neighbors nor allies against the system. The victim of this recent crime learned this lesson the hardest of all hard ways possible. Racial payback animates these outrages and no amount of progressive double speak or bouts of White guilt will change this stark fact.” “Pale skin cannot change this deadly dynamic by osmosis. It's delusional and racist to think otherwise.” In New Orleans, the neighborhoods near the French Quarter define gentrification. Heck, the whole city is being gentrified following the exodus after Hurricane Katrina. Remember the Mayor who assured black residents they did not have to worry about white people taking over after all the white people move in to put their town back together? He said New Orleans will always be a “Chocolate City.” Now even the newspapers are having a hard time ignoring the epic levels of black violence in these new racially mixed neighborhoods. From July, 2014: 66 Will Ford and Tim Swartzentruber said they have lived in the neighborhood for nearly five years, but after being attacked by three gunmen who robbed them Sunday, and hearing the stories of friends and colleagues who have suffered similar fates, they say they no longer feel safe. "It's really sad, but I'm thinking this might be the last straw," Swartzentruber said. "I hate feeling afraid in my own neighborhood. It's just awful." Four people were victims of armed robberies or attempted robberies in the Marigny last week, according to police reports. An additional three armed robberies were reported in nearby streets in the French Quarter during the same time. And oh yeah, during the same time, a film director visiting his sick mother made the mistake of thinking he could walk home through this same gentrified area. He was attacked, beaten, taunted, hurt bad. He waited a month to report it. He did not think anyone would care. Vice.com prides itself on ballsy coverage of difficult issues. They use they word “shitty” in headlines. So you know they are brave. But brave enough to connect the dots and call out the black criminals and the activist pimps who enable them? Not a chance.67 Their coverage mirrors lots of discussions about black mob violence around the country. For the first ten minutes, lots of people are upset and want to do something about it. But on minute 11, someone always stands up and points out they have to do something about what is causing all these earth angels to create all this havoc. Page 46. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. So they spend the next three hours, days, weeks, months, years talking about unemployment, poverty, jobs, schools, fathers, mothers, you name it. And they forget all about the violence. Until the next one, where they spend ten minutes …. I get into this more in my next book, but while the earnest white liberals held encounter groups about urban problems, black people moved away from that: Today, it is all about white racism. All those people at all those meetings? They are part of the problem. Not the solution. Let’s get back on the bus and check out some more Knockout Games and black on white crime: In the Indianapolis suburb of Lawrence, police are appealing for help in the January 4th, 2014 slaying of a white college student. The victim was getting gas when a car full of black people pulled up, got out, and were seen trying to break into his car, before they shot him in the head.68 Local TV news stations report the assailants were black. But the Indianapolis Star News refused to repeat that description from police reports, saying, “Police do not have detailed descriptions of the suspects.” Call it the Indianapolis Star Ruling: Absent DNA tests, video confessions, and a notarized note from their mommies, newspapers shall not report that a pattern of black mob violence exists. In their town. And now we have the Auxiliary: When people ask what the predators looked like, just say you don’t have “detailed descriptions.” There’s a lot of that going around too. The dead boy’s parents told local news reporters they cannot figure out why anyone would want to hurt their son. Which is what the family and friends and victims of the Knockout Game always ask — unless they read White Girl Bleed a Lot. As Roan Ciardi did in Syracuse: “While on my lunch break this week, I read Colin Flaherty’s WND story on the Syracuse man who died from the malicious “Knockout Game” – in which black youth search for and beat a lone white person. I thought to myself, God cannot come back soon enough.” Page 47. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. “I then thought how I would feel if this happened to anyone in my family or, heaven forbid, one of my children. Well, now I know: The same day, around 4 p.m., my son called me from a friend’s house with his voice shaking as he described to me EXACTLY what I had just read about in Flaherty’s article.”69 Unlike Ciardi, most victims of the Knockout Game are not experts on the Knockout Game. They are often puzzled and deny the game has any racial angle. Sound harsh: It is meant to be: Meant to point a finger at the media and public officials who know this is happening but refuse to say so. And let a kid go into a gas station where he has no business being. Where no cops would let their children go at that time of night. In Los Gatos, California, the ever-plucky Patch reports black on white violence from January 2014: "The Knockout game has hit Los Gatos. This evening on Blossom Hill Road, in front of Dance Attack, a woman was punched by an African American man who escaped up Harwood towards Belgatos Park. In response, reader Luigi Casaretto said: "This nonsense has to stop. My friend's daughter was a victim in Milpitas last week."70 In Flint, Michigan, police are seeking three black people in the Knockout Game assault on a white bus driver that happened in the final week of January near Martin Luther King Boulevard. Police originally said the incident occurred because one of the suspects was upset about having to pay a bus fare, but further investigation showed it was a planned attack, said Flint police Capt. Collin Birnie to MLive.com. "This was planned, orchestrated and filmed," he said. "The assault on the MTA bus driver, you've heard it referred to nationwide as the knockout game. That's exactly what we had."71 The bus driver “has a number of broken bones on his face,” said the local ABC affiliate, that required "major" facial surgery. On January 17, gay Asian journalist Randy Gener was punched in the face on the streets of Manhattan. He remains in a coma. Police are not calling it a hate crime. 72 After the attack, police released a sketch of the suspect whom they described as Hispanic. A few days later, Leighton Jennings was arrested for assault in connection with the crime. He is black. On his Facebook page he posted a picture of himself beneath a sign that says “Real Nigga.”73 That was in addition to more traditional poses of Leighton Jennings in the black thug life: smoking pot, flashing gang signs and displaying large amounts of money. All the victims or their families wondered why anyone would commit such violence. Never once considering -- at least publicly -- that racial animosity might have something to do with the pattern of racial violence. Barry Baldwin stands accused of six Knockout Game attacks in New York in November and December. Five of the victims were Jewish women. One was 78-years old.74 Baldwin, a 35-year old black man, offered a series of excuses for the violence, said the New York Daily News: “I hit her on the head in self-defense because of the way she looked.” Page 48. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. This should gladden the heart of Casey Seiler, an Albany reporter who dismissed racial violence documented in White Girl Bleed a Lot by saying a “riot has no color.” But then objected that White Girl Bleed a Lot does not take into account the “tangled sociological reasons for those statistics, such as the economic and cultural aftereffects of hundreds of years of white racism.” All that for violence that has no color. Now Seiler is at it again. This time in a story about proposed legislation in New York state to increase penalties for the Knockout Game. From his lofty perch atop the state capitol bureau for the Albany Times Union, Seiler reminded readers that the Knockout Game probably does not exist. Or if it does, it has nothing to do with race: “Whether the game is a baleful youth phenomenon or media hype depends on whom you talk to.” With crystalline reasoning like that, Seiler is being wasted in Albany. That dude belongs at The Times. Page 49. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. Page 50. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. Page 51. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. Chapter Seven. Knockout Game Just Keeps Rolling Along March 2014 It just won’t stop. Don’t tell The Times. The Knockout Game just keeps rolling along. Five months after the New York Times said this spontaneous racial violence was an urban myth; four months after NPR admitted it happened once in a while but race had nothing to do with it; three months after CBS News said maybe it was happening after all; two months after a Philadelphia family court judge said racial violence exists because white people deserve it; and one month after CNN said the Knockout Game fad was over, victims and videos and witnesses and suspects just keep piling up. Many in a ten-day period in March 2014. But many in the media still refuse to connect the dots and report the central organizing feature of the Knockout Game: The perpetrators are black. The victims are not. These cases happened in March 2014: The lead sentence from WOKV tells the story: “The "Knock Out" game has officially come to Jacksonville.”75 This time the victim was disabled. He was at a service station, supporting himself with a cane and filling his car with gas when Kevin Kejuan Johnson allegedly punched him in the face. Police arrested Johnson this week after identifying him from video and getting a “search warrant for his phone which they say reveals multiple videos of juveniles walking up to unsuspecting individuals and punching them.” What? Yep, that happened: He had lots of videos of other attacks on his cell phone. So I guess the Knockout Game has been around a lot longer -- it’s just that the local media missed it. Intentionally or not. I wish I could say they had an excuse, but by the time this story happened, each and every crime and political reporter in America had received several communications from your humble correspondent and his readers. Page 52. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. All saying the same thing: Knockout Game is real. And it's here. In your town too. So to ignore it, then all of a sudden come in on the middle of it and say it is just beginning -- when even the perps show it has been happening a while -- well, I cannot tell if that is shameless or disingenuous. Discuss amongst yourselves. Oh yeah, the attack: The victim said Johnson was one of several black people playing the game. In August 2014, it happened again: This time with a twist: A group of black people approached a middle-aged white dude and asked him if was carrying a “Glock.” He said no. They began beating him. Then he wised up: “Fearing that the boy would continue to hit him until he was unconscious, the man grabbed at a folding knife that he had tucked into his waistband and pretended to have a gun. The boys fled, and the man enlisted the help of his neighbor to search for the boys.”76 Back to March: On the day after St. Patrick’s Day in Riverhead, New York, home of Sean “P. Diddy” Combs, an elderly woman with scoliosis was knocked to the ground while carrying an armful of groceries. The violence provoked fits of laughter from the attacker and his friends. Police are calling it the Knockout Game.77 A few days before, 30 miles away in Brentwood, Long Island, police arrested three black Page 53. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. people for the Knockout Game attack on an elderly Hispanic immigrant woman. Police say Qwatese Jarvis and his two friends allegedly pushed her to the ground, then punched and kicked her. 78 The woman has broken bones and her sister says she is afraid to leave her house, has nightmares and cannot return to work. At least one viewer of local TV news, Megan Rivera, did not like how some people said this violence was racial or was another example of the Knockout Game. She explained to Long Island channel 12 that: “The New York Times already stated this is a myth perpetrated on the black youth community by white old racists,” she said.79 I love that quote. The week before in Hope, Arkansas, birthplace of Bill Clinton, a 13-yearold girl was “the victim of a Knock Out Game” at a local middle school, said HopePrescott.com. According to the news site, the 15-year-old suspect -- in the presence of several other people - punched the girl in her face at school, knocking her to the ground. Knocking her out. She suffered a fractured jaw, concussion and ligament damage.80 Police arrested four black people when the next day they showed up at the home of the victim’s boyfriend, threatening him with violence too. In downtown Darien, Conn., that same week, a businessman was walking to his office when a “dark-skinned man” crossed the street to ask him a question. “The attacker then jumped him and punched him in the eye, knocking him to the ground and also injuring his right hand,” said the Darien Times.81 Like police administrators in New York City, police in Darien are not calling this a Knockout Game because they say this kind of racial violence does not exist. In the meantime, if this “dark skinned” assailant turns out to be from India, we have a huge story on our hands. In Kansas City, two days after St. Patrick’s Day, “two teens set out to videotape one of them sucker punching a man, and that man told police he was a victim of the notorious knockout game,” said KCTV 5 News. “Staff members said the same teen sucker-punched an older man in the same spot earlier that day.”82 Police are looking for the second victim and say the attacks were probably not examples of the Knockout Game because they insist that type of thing does not happen there. That is not what one Kansas City mother is telling KSHB news in the aftermath of the latest Knockout Game: “Sophia Washington said groups of teens have beaten up her children like this dozens of times. Recently, one group shot at her home.” Oops. Kansas City is the site of regular and frequent black mob violence at the downtown Country Club Plaza and more recently this week at the local zoo. Even so, one viewer of KCTV was indignant that anyone would comment that the attackers were black. And that it had happened before.83 “Cut it out with already debunked lies of Faux News about a knock out game,” said one commenter on the station’s web site. “Sensationalism and fear mongering at its worst. I pity you Page 54. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. racists and self-righteously clueless unfortunate souls. How about you report something uplifting and worthwhile?” We just showed that the stories are true -- by a factor of what ... 5 or 10 or 20, say the victims. And he still wants to play the ‘this is not happening card.’ To paraphrase the liberal Adlai Stevenson: You quit lying about us. We’ll stop telling the truth about you. Page 55. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. Chapter 8. Happy Memorial Day 2014 Let the racial violence begin. Black Beach Week used to get all the glory: Every Memorial Day weekend for more than a decade, 300,000 black people gathered in Miami Beach to get their freak on. And also create a tsunami of violence, robbery, shootings, carjackings, vandalism, mayhem, noise and trash. Always mountains of trash. None of it in trash cans. But in 2014, many party-goers complained that Black Beach Week -- only reporters call it “Urban Beach Week” -- just wasn’t as much fun any more: Too many cops, too many tactical vehicles, too many helicopters, too many lights, too many towers, too many cameras, too much suspicion. Not enough chaos. And there is no doubt that art deco capital of America is at least temporarily turned into an armed camp for Black Beach Week. Not to worry: The rest of the country picked up the slack. Black mob violence over the holiday weekend was reported in more than a dozen cities around the country. Some fatal. Some comical. All relentless. Let’s take a tour, starting with Cincinnati: Four days after scattered reports of black mob violence during the Memorial Day Taste of Cincinnati, local police and media figured out just how violent their annual holiday event was. _ “General mayhem,” said one police Captain. One of the first victims was the son of the local district attorney. He and his girlfriend were helping his sister back her car out of tight parking space when a group of black people punched him, knocked him to the ground and kicked him. He had a concussion. When his girlfriend suggested that was not a good idea, they beat her too. Police caught the aftermath on video. The local CBS affiliate was the first to get the inkling something was wrong, very wrong. They started reporting Wednesday night that the DA’s son was just the tip of the iceberg. _ Page 56. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. I fully recognize that the word “iceberg” may be outside the cultural frame of reference for many readers who live South of the North Pole. Or North of the South Pole. Much like the school superintendent said about peanut butter and jelly. I’ll do better, I promise. Back to Cincy: “There were other victims that night. David Manz was catching a bus near the courthouse to get to his night shift at Dunkin Donuts. He says about 20 black teenage girls attacked him and were in on the punching, kicking and stomping. He suffered bruises, scrapes and broken ribs.” They were laughing and having a good time, almost as if it were some kind of game. “That gave them enjoyment,” he said. A member of a gay country western dance group reported that members of his club were also victims of racial violence. “Three of our CRW friends were also attacked and assaulted on Sunday May 25th 2014 @ 10:00 PM.,” said Tim of the Cincinnati Rivertown Wranglers. “They were jumped and thrown out into the street at Central Pkwy and Walnut. The violence against them was also unprovoked and seemed to be racially motivated as the black teenagers were selecting white victims as people passed by.” But black mob violence and the Knockout Game was just getting started then. Before it was over, there would be a shooting, robbings, numerous assaults and even “teens” throwing rocks at police. Curiously, the station that first reported the racial violence did not want much to do with the story: “By most accounts, it was a successful weekend for the city of Cincinnati,” said the CBS affiliate news anchor, introducing the first report of the chaos. Other than that, the play was just fine, Mrs. Lincoln. We could linger on Cincinnati, with lots more details of racial violence over the Memorial Day weekend. But we have a lot more to cover. Before we move on, let’s just say this: The most difficult part of reporting racial violence in Cincinnati -- and lots of other places -- is looking into the camera and trying to pretend this is not a regular feature of life there. Because it is. Next stop Chicago. There was almost nothing in the local press about it, but the popular police blog, Second City Cop, is reporting black mob violence all over the city’s downtown over the weekend. _ _ “If anyone listened to zone 4 last night they would have heard that the boyfriend of a young couple was hospitalized after getting the shit beat out of him at Van Buren and State by a couple "urban" youths,” reported the blog. “That multiple car and store windows on North Michigan Ave were smashed by "urban youths". That there was a massive fight between "urban youths" on the Red Line platform at State and Lake that shut down the line. That there were multiple thefts of purses, laptops, phones, etc. by groups of "urban youths" celebrating the holiday.” _ Page 57. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. For you out of towners, Michigan Avenue is the site of the so-called Gold Coast: The uber-upscale shopping district that is the site of regular and frequent and violent and destructive black mob violence. Including the Knockout Game. Almost never reported. Almost always dismissed. Other cops chimed in with more examples of black mob violence during the Memorial Day holiday. “Coppers are pissed there was no reporting in the local press” said one Chicago officer via email. “You ask coppers on the Gold Coast. They see black mobs roaming downtown Michigan Avenue without any money. No real reason to be there but to strictly rob, beat and hurt random Whiteys.” Steve Chapman is an editor at the Chicago Tribune who does not like it when people like Second City Cop complain his paper “embargoes” news about racial violence. “Why do you care so much about the attackers’ race?” he wrote. “If you fear or dislike blacks, I suppose it would confirm your prejudice. But otherwise, it tells you nothing useful.” _ Now you know. Lots of Cincinnati footage on the video that accompanies this book. Page 58. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. Page 59. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. Chapter Nine. Ferguson: More knockout games. How did hundreds of reporters miss these? Unless they wanted to. Following the death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, that small suburb of St. Louis was flooded with hundreds of reporters. All there to report on white on black racial violence. Even so, it is a bit surprising that in this hyper-racial atmosphere, almost all of these hundreds of reporters could miss at least three examples of the Knockout Game. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch figured out at least two:84 A Washington University student was reportedly assaulted near the Ferguson McDonald's in what one witness said appeared to be a knockout game. Restaurant employees gave the unidentified victim ice to ease face swelling. Acquaintances subsequently transported him to a hospital. The victim praised the "many people here (who) rushed to help me.” Eli Rosenberg, a reporter for KMBC in Kansas City, meanwhile tweeted that an unknown assailant delivered four punches to the face of his cameraman. "Paramedics say (the cameraman) will feel it in the morning, but should be okay," Rosenberg tweeted. And of course that does not count the Ferguson homeowner who was attacked by a mob of ten black people early on during Riot Week. Hear about that one? It even played out on Twitter.85 Exactly. Page 60. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. If you want to get a good picture of the mindset of the reporters at Ferguson, then check out their reaction to the release of the videotape of St. Michael of Ferguson robbing a convenience store. Then assaulting the storeowner. The same reporters who beg for transparency and more information were now complaining that releasing the videotape of St. Michael was some kind of plot. Bad because it made St. Michael look bad. That’s what Don Lemon of CNN said. Attorney General Eric Holder joined in. As did Dana Perino of Fox News. Even the Society of Professional Journalists chimed in, saying they would train the police of Ferguson in proper PR techniques.86 At first I thought I had never heard of anything like that before. Then I remember our old pal Melissa Harris-Perry, the college prof with a weekend show at MSNBC. She was interviewing a woman who wrote a story for Foreign Policy magazine about Moslem atrocities toward women. Melissa Harris-Perry and another guest, a Harvard professor, did not care for that. Let’s listen in:87 “I start with a little bit of trepidation in this conversation,” the host said, “in part because I know some of the critiques of this. The very idea that Western press, those that are not from these nations, who are not Muslim ourselves, who are not part of these traditions can look at your article and say ‘ahhh, look at how horrible those men, or those societies, or that religion is.’ “And that is part of the reason why, for example, we have an under-reporting of rape and domestic violence in African American communities,” HarrisPerry continued. “Because we know the violence enacted on black men by police, so we often don’t call. Right?” Then the MSNBC host brought in Harvard professor Leila Ahmed, who questioned whether Eltahawy should have written the article at all. Not because it was false, but because it made Muslims look bad. “You began, Melissa, by noting that some things in the African-American community are not publicized precisely because of the racism,” said Ahmed as Harris-Perry nodded in agreement on a split screen. Page 61. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. “Mona, I appreciate what you do,” continued Ahmed. “I would love it if – I understand if you want to get your message across. It’s an important message. But if possible [you should not] give fuel, fodder to people who simply hate Arabs and Muslims in this climate of our day.” Did you get all that? If not, check it out on video at YouTube.88 During the rioting, CNN’s ambassador to the black mob violence, Don Lemon, put on his best ‘anguished at what I am about to tell you’ act and said he understood the rage of the people rioting.89 Ok, ready for some homework: Watch the Lemon video. Then watch this video about a looter explaining why he needed to rob and steal all that stuff and burn down what was left.90 DeAndre Smith, 30, of Ferguson was happy to justify the looting when a reporter asked him about it Monday morning. "This is exactly what is supposed to be happening when an injustice is happening in your community," he said, adding: "You have kids getting killed for nothing." Smith, who moved to St. Louis from New York in December, said there could be more to come. "I don't think it's over honestly," he said. "I just think they got a taste of what fighting back means." Karl McCarty, 39, of Bellefontaine Neighbors, watched the chaos Sunday night and was back again Monday. He said he had a message for the young men leading the charge: "Let it go, let justice prevail. And if doesn't prevail in the way they want, don't do this again." So is DeAndre copying Don? Or is Don copying DeAndre? Let me know. But this much we know for sure: The both agree that the white folks had it coming. Scratch that, the non-black folks had it coming. Most of the storeowners were Asian. Page 62. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. Page 63. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. Chapter Ten. Knockout Games: A Recent Laundry List. Deny this! We’ve covered a lot of Knockout Games so far. But still only a fraction that have happened in 2013-2014. But there are just too many Knockout Games to write a story about each one. But let’s a do a laundry list with links for the souls brave enough to wade through all this violence, one after another. In each of these cases, the predator is black. Most of the victims are not. Let the headlines tell the rest of the story. 1. ‘Knockout Game’ Attack And Other Violence In Ferguson 91 2. Police: 5 teens arrested in attacks on Hispanic males92 3.

Chapter Eleven. This Is Long List The reading is over. Your job is just beginning. Pick a number between 60 and 600,000. That is how many pages this book could be. As you go through the stories, did you notice how almost always the attacks are never isolated? How often people say “oh yeah, that’s been happening around here for a while.” In Monroe, North Carolina, a TV news reporter held a sheaf of police reports up to the camera, all documenting black on white and Hispanic Knockout Games. There were dozens. All recent. All from August 2014. Go look at the story: She has no idea what is going on. She has no idea that racial violence is so widespread. And other reporters are so secretive about it. Maybe you were like that before reading this book. Before reading White Girl Bleed a Lot. But not anymore. And that is how we are going to change this. Stop this. Reverse this flood of racial violence. We are going to tell the truth about it without racism. Or rancor. Or apologies. Also, we don’t need Big Causes or Big Solutions. You are not a Sociologist. Neither am I. Or a biologist. Or a criminologist. So don’t act like one. Besides, a lot of this book is for deniers. And why try to convince a denier of a solution when they do not believe there is even a problem to solve. So get to it. You have lots of help: I post updates at my Facebook page and Web site frequently. I tweet. I send out emails. My YouTube page is going crazy with traffic and comments. Now it’s up to you. To us. I know we can do it. And I don’t care what the New York Times says. Page 71. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. Chapter Twelve. Post Script. It does not stop. As I finished the first draft of this book, I received this on my Facebook Page: A friend and I were leaving Fair State Brewing Coop around 9:30pm (on Central and Lowry) tonight and were both assaulted by a group of 5-6 young men. We got away without more than 1-2 punches each, and quickly had the Police there to make a report (since the station is not much more than a block away). As we were waiting for the Police to arrive one of the workers of the brewery said it has been happening often there. It was completely unprovoked and without reason. Be careful out there. [Admin: Also, nearly a week after a male had his skull shattered by 3 males with a baseball bat, on Sept. 18 at 26th/University, we still have zero media coverage on that incident, nor any alerts from the MPD about it, nor about any of the other incidents, if, in fact, this type of thing is regularly occurring in the area. Why? If you think it is important for people to know more about racial violence, please place a review of Knockout Game a Lie on Amazon and Goodreads.com.

About the Author Colin Flaherty is an award winning writer whose work has been published in more than 1000 places around the globe, including the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Boston Globe, Miami Herald, Washington Post, Bloomberg Business Week, Time magazine, and others. He is the author of "White Girl Bleed a Lot: The Return of Racial Violence and How the Media Ignore It." An #1Amazon Best Seller Thomas Sowell: "Reading Colin Flaherty's book made painfully clear to me that the magnitude of this problem is greater than I had discovered from my own research. He documents both the race riots and the media and political evasions in dozens of cities." - National Review. Bretibart.com: “Prescient. Ahead of the News. Garnering attention and sparking important discussions.” Allen West: ”At least author Colin Flaherty is tackling this issue (or racial violence) in his new book, White Girl Bleed a Lot: The Return of Racial Violence to America and How the Media Ignore it.“ David Horowitz : “A determined reporter, Colin Flaherty, broke ranks to document these rampages in a book titled, White Girl Bleed A Lot” Daily Caller : ”As the brutal “knockout” game sweeps across the U.S., one author isn’t surprised by the attacks or the media reaction. Colin Flaherty, author of the book “White Girl Bleed A Lot: The Return of Racial Violence to America and How The Media Ignore It,” began chronicling the new wave of violence nearly a year ago — revealing disturbing racial motivations behind the attacks and a pattern of media denial.” Alex Jones of Inforwars.com: "Brilliant. I could not put it down." From the Bill Cunningham show. It is official: "A wonderful book. Colin Flaherty is a great American." Page 73. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. Neal Boortz: "ColinFlaherty has become Public Enemy No.1 to the leftist media because of the research he's done on the black culture of violence." WND.com: "Colin Flaherty has done more reporting than any other journalist on what appears to be a nationwide trend of skyrocketing black-on-white crime, violence and abuse." Milt Rosenberg, WGN: "My compliments to Colin Flaherty for White Girl Bleed a Lot. A very interesting book that points out an important problem that needs to be confronted." The Houston Examiner said the book was "magic" because "it will give you clarity on why "flash mobs" are such a troublesome issue for American media, politicans and polite conversation." Jason Lewis called it an "an important and explosive book." Talk show host Jesse Lee Peterson said: "You must read this book." Dan Auld, named top columnist of the year from both the San Diego Press Club and Society of Professional Journalists, said "This is a challenging book. An interesting and powerful and ultimately persuasive book by a great American writer not afraid to look at one of the most thought about but unspoken features of American life." Scott Thompson of CHML radio said it was an "important and serious" book. He is also the author of Redwood to Deadwood: a 53-year old dude hitchhikes around America. Again. "Great book by a great guy" -- Marc Middleton, NPR. "Ultimately, every travel book is a journey of self discovery. And so is this--much like Bill Byrson's A Walk in in the Woods, Keraouc's On the Road, or even Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: You feel as if you are there with him. And this book belongs on the same shelf. "Great book by a great San American writer." -- John Sryker Meyer, author of the best selling Viet Nam book: "Across the Fence." What the major media says about Colin Flaherty: Page 74. Knockout Game a Lie? Aww, hell no. Washington Post. Colin Flaherty won First Place in the Washington Post Spy Novel Writer's contest. He is the only two-time winner. David Ignatius, best selling author and Washington Post editor, said Flaherty's writing was his "strong favorite," and was "very deft." Page 75. Knockout Game a Lie?
