I've come across several stories of mobs playing the knockout game. This one shows a failure in the victim selection process in Conn. Do think the victim should have called the police immediately after. Has anyone heard of this happening in Ohio?

Yes, calling the police would have been the ideal approach.dl1911 wrote: Do think the victim should have called the police immediately after. Has anyone heard of this happening in Ohio?

That was quite an article. So the person who defended himself is known and the police ruled it justifiable self defense....

Re: Mob picks on "The Wrong Guy"
Guy should have immediately called the police and claimed his victim status. Always. No matter how few the attackers, nor their age.
In the Cleveland area known as the Flats, feral, under-served, urban yute of both genders, played this and similar games in the mid-1970's. Back then, there were a myriad of beatings and robberies for cash and jewelry. There used to be an annual festival in the Flats, but it was cancelled when the corporations refused to pony up the cash for much-needed extra cash donations for security.
I recall reading that during the last such outing, one horse-mounted police officer was hit in the head by a thrown brick. He was hospitalized for a while, and what saved his life was the brick struck his riot helmet.
That was all I needed to dis-invite myself from that area of Cleveland.
