Gay Black New Yorker Says Group of Hasidic Jews Attacked Him at 4:30 AM

He was so intoxicated that he doesn't remember what he was doing before the incident? Was he walking along minding his own business and these thugs just picked on him for no reason? BTW how did they know he was gay? Was he wearing a sign? Are Hassidics hanging out all night playing the knockout game?

It was not a racial attack it was just the knockout game as they call it but since it involved one of their own as a victim now it is referred to as an attack. This is nothing more than a game according to media sources. Guess he just has to live with it like all other victims do.

And isnt it funny how the DN eagerly adds the ethnicity and religion of the supposed 'attackers' in THIS case - but never in the 'knockout games' cases; wonder why...

Right, why not say a group of urban youths or teenagers as the knockout players are usually described?
