The latest victim of the “knockout game” is a 34-year-old pregnant woman from Brooklyn. The Daily Caller reports:
The victim, Jannatul Ferdous, was walking with her sister in Brooklyn’s Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood Thursday when 33-year-old Willie Stephens slugged the pregnant woman with one single blow, knocking her unconscious.
Twitter users gave their opinion about what happened to Ferdous:
Fortunately, according to police, Ferdous and her child didn’t sustain any major injuries. But Stephens had no ties with Ferdous, so this was nothing but a baseless attack.
In addition, several incidents of the “knockout game” have led to people dying. For example, in New Jersey, three teens looking for someone to punch ended up taking the life of a disabled homeless man.
We can only hope that this sick trend of targeting innocent people goes away as nothing more than a vicious fad, and that all those who participate in the “knockout game” feel the full weight of the justice system.
