Why are not the political leaders loudly denouncing this "game"? Could it be that the politicos have no sense of morality other than the use of political power?
I agree with your last paragraph, and will add..'Why aren't these predators being targeted as the terrorist's that they are'?

These terrorist's are targeting innocent victims of the American public.
If left unchecked watch how fast the 'game' escalates from punching someone...to using a weapon..just 'To see what a bullet will do to a person's head'.

The thought of logical progression should not be lost by people. Drive by shootings with the victoms unknown to the perps has already occurred. This is even more cowardly though as the shooters are in a mobile vehicle.

The lack of "official" response also underlines the bias in "racial crimes". These are clearly black youths targeting non-backs. If blacks were the targets rather than the perpetrators, then you all KNOW how much outrage there would be. Instead, we have silence.
How about some justice that is color blind?

Yep, there's no way you can be on guard from every single person who walks by you on the street. I wonder if politicians talking about it would be seen as a shout out, a sort of arriving: "Even the president knows about us!"

Assuming that they're able to knock their victim out with the first punch, rather than missing or just annoying him and having him beat them senseless.

Doing this to a CCW holder is a great way to get ventilated.

OIC, any time there is even a hint of some racial conflict it requires an "official response" to satisfy the "equal attention" event moralists. Makes sense.

no one wants to be equal, right? What's the point of moral outrage when you are outraged only when it effects your group?

Assuming teenagers to be stupid/ dangerous/ reckless has worked out pretty good for me so far. I'm not sure if being 6'2" and 260# helps or not though :p

The "tit for tat" equivalency argument is so superior in the minds of its advocates . . . because nobody is keeping score except those that want to use it for some moral advantage.

Where was the outrage or "official statement" over the under reporting of missing children or teens that weren't the "girl next door" type? How come boys never seen to go missing in this country? Likewise, the decades of the under reporting crimes against all other minorities?

Many groups waited long and hard for an "official statement" but it would appear that certain groups don't like being in line.

Good point. What are gonna do with a gun? Pull it out everytime someone gets close enough to hit you?

Who pays for the medical care? Who pays for the the incarceration? Probation? Unemployable convict?

You get so much more when you buy cheap shoes made in China.

Did the attacker look like he could have been Obama's son?

Does "look like" matter? Whether you're assaulted by any race, is it any less an assault?

Let's set the "Wayback Machine" a few years back and see if "Beaner Jumping" . . . Clocking . . . Wilding . . . Jew Jumping . . . random attacks on Sikhs after September 11 . . . Spook Hunting . . .
