Knockout King
'Knockout King' is a frightening phenomenon that has claimed lives across the country as teenagers and young adults seek out sick thrills. In the planned attacks, a group will appoint a leader and then choose a defenceless victim at random. The leader then steps up to the victim and punches them out cold.
Many believe the phenomenon is driven by a thirst for attention. It is well known that juveniles don't think out consequences clearly, they see something on YouTube and say, “I want to get that sort of attention, too.” They don't think about the person they're attacking maybe hitting their head.’
