Fox News Contributor Calls for Arms to Combat “Knockout Game”
I happened to run across a tweet by a Fox News Contributor, Katie Pavlich, her twitter post said ”With all the knockout “game” news I highly suggest people take @nra‘s Refuse to be a Victim…”. Katie Pavlich is a conservative news pundit with a Twitter following of over 85,000 people.
This program she referenced is sponsored by the NRA, and provides training and instruction on firearm use. This is an indicator that people are not willing to tolerate this type of violent activity, and are ready to take up arms to defend themselves. So, to all my young people, stop playing around with your life because other people are not! Many individuals have been waiting for this type of behavior to have an excuse to execute young black kids. Moreover, this is blatantly wrong, point blank period! This fuels the flame for stand your ground laws.
We saw the sad and unfortunate outcome of Trayvon Martin, and he was just minding his business when George Zimmerman instigated a deadly altercation. However, with the news spreading about youth playing a potentially deadly game for enjoyment, many black youth are setting themselves up to be profiled for execution. Fear alone can make an armed person use a firearm in an unwarranted circumstance just off a perceived threat. This animalistic game makes all innocent and harmless black youth potential targets when walking in a group, just because the word is out.
