"Maybe if we had played dead, they would have stopped" -- A White Males Response when Victimized by the Black Knockout Game in Charlottesville, Virginia

“I've never hit a man in anger in my life. Never called a black man 'nigger' or stolen a penny from any man. I've given money and my own time to a dozen worthwhile causes from block associations to the N-Double-A-C-P.” 

“And this is the thanks you get,” Jack murmured. "I know, Pop. And it's true. And there's no answer to it."

"There's one answer I intend to demand. I want those three killers." (Death Wish, by Brian Garfield, p. 38)


This passage from Garfield's 1972, which would spawn the Charles Bronson franchise, is worth reflecting on when reading the news of a 'knockout game' attack on two white people in Thomas Jefferson's beloved Charlottesville, Virginia (home of the University of Virginia) by three black males obviously on their way to writing an updated version of Notes on Virginia. 

That's not Big Foot... actual footage of a black-on-white knockout game attack that was excused as being a myth. This attack was in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Only days before Christmas, two "passive" white people (a male and female) found themselves the beneficiaries of the white privilege of a state-sanctioned black-on-white assault, with the white male believing that 'maybe if we had played dead' the racial attack would have ended. [Knockout: Victims of brutal Downtown Mall assault want arrests, and answers from police, C-Ville.com, 12-29-13]:

A couple’s late night stroll on the Christmas-lit Downtown Mall turned to terror in the early morning hours of Friday, December 20, when they were brutally assaulted by three men in what appears to have been a random act of violence.

Even though one of the victims, Jeanne Doucette, managed to take photos that appear to show the assailants as they kicked and pummeled her boyfriend Marc Adams to unconsciousness, Charlottesville Police still do not have any suspects. Doucette says there were other witnesses to the crime, which allegedly occurred just outside the Wells Fargo building at around 1am as she and Adams walked from Miller’s to Rapture, and she is baffled as to why the police haven’t shared her images more widely with people who could have seen the suspects earlier in the evening.

“I cannot understand why they didn’t let people know what happened,” said Doucette, who still bore injuries from the assault when she met for an interview a week later. “Those pictures might have prompted some tips.”

The images she captured are blurry but nonetheless appear to corroborate her account of the night’s events, including the brutality of the beating, during which she says the assailants joked and laughed, even stopping to hug in the midst of the onslaught.

Doucette said the assault occurred after she and Adams, both 39, had met for a drink at Miller’s after Adams finished his shift as chef for a downtown food cart. They headed east up the Mall toward Rapture to end their night with music, when Adams tripped and fell in front of Derriere de Soie lingerie store, a block from Miller’s. As he was getting up, a man approached quickly, said something that Doucette couldn’t make out, and kicked Adams while he was on the ground, before being joined by his friends who beat Adams severely, breaking his ankle, cracking ribs and knocking out one of his teeth.

The grainy photos that Doucette took with her phone (posted below story) show the faces and clothing worn by the three alleged assailants, all black males. Doucette estimated the men were approximately  6’ tall and in their mid-20s or early 30s. In one photo, Adams is lying on his back on the Mall with a man looming over him. Doucette said the man was kicking Adams when she took the picture. In another picture, a large man in a black coat and light colored shirt appears to be moving towards Doucette’s camera as Adams is on his knees in the background.

While Doucette suffered bruising to her head and tearing of the cartilage in her ear, Adams bore the brunt of the men’s aggression, sustaining broken bones and a concussion that he said has robbed him of any memory of the incident and its immediate aftermath.

Flooded with fear and adrenaline, Doucette said, she reacted quickly after the assault began, confronting the first assailant.

“I came up and pushed him away and said, ‘What are you doing?’” she recalled.

The incident escalated when the man responded by striking her.

“The guy hits me repeatedly in the ear,” she said. “My earring was stabbing me in the head over and over.”

Two other men soon joined in the beating, Doucette said, and while they primarily focused on Adams, a local musician who at 5’5″ and 140 pounds was outsized and outnumbered, they would occasionally strike her.

“When he’d tell them to stop hitting me, they’d hit me twice,” said Doucette, who is 5’2″.

Doucette said she and Adams repeatedly tried to escape, but the assault continued east up the Mall and stopped in front of the Wells Fargo bank. Doucette said she threw her purse at the men, hoping that when they saw the cash inside they’d simply take the money and leave, but they had no apparent interest in robbing her. Instead, she said, they seemed to delight in the brutality.

“They were laughing, high-fiving, hugging, and then returning to kick him,” said Doucette. “There was some kind of camaraderie to it.”

“They were laughing, high-fiving, hugging, and then returning to kick him, There was some kind of camaraderie to it.”

“Maybe if we had played dead, they would have stopped,” said Adams. “If the point of the knockout game is to knock out, we kept getting up to help each other. We didn’t play right.”

Adams describes himself as a “passive person,” and while he said the head injury erased his memory of the attack, he doesn’t believe he could have said anything to provoke the men’s wrath.

“He’s the most non-confrontational person I know,” Doucette agreed.

Ms. Doucette, your white male friend has been properly trained to be docile around his black master, a slave to his historical whiteness and the evil it has inflicted upon the colored world; Eric "My People" Holder smiles at the perverse nature of Adams passivity, knowing full well a generation of castrated white males has been raised on the promise the post-racial future will be a peaceful one for whites.

It won't be.

We are already upon that post-racial future, with the present a constant reminder that white people are expected to fully embrace their 21st Century role as both slave to and producer for the black man (and his progeny).

And if any white people dare post anyonous rants at the C-Ville.com web site, well, you must remember that Pravda has nothing on contemporary western journalism, which has only one goal with each published news story/editorial: protect black dysfunction from being blamed on black people. [Charlottesville Newspaper Shuts Down Comments on Knockout Game Report for 'Hateful Nature': "Please do not use this comment stream as a forum for social diatribes, for racist ranging, or for expressing anger. We will delete you.", TruthRevolt.org, 12-31-13]:

The post, which was linked by the Drudge Report, quickly went viral, spurring commenters to post messages about the knockout game and the incident. The editor-in-chief for the site, Giles Morris, warned commenters that their posts could be deleted:

Dear Readers, This is a local news story about an alleged assault that occurred on our Downtown Mall. Please do not use this comment stream as a forum for social diatribes, for racist ranging, or for expressing anger. We will delete you.
Thanks,
The Editor

After one commenter responded with a quote from George Orwell – “If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear” – Morris shut down the thread. He wrote, “This comment stream has been closed due to the hateful nature of the discussion the story generated. Sorry for the inconvenience.”

 It's vital to remember the key line from the original, which accurately described the reason the three black men assaulted the two whites:

“They didn’t want to rob us. They wanted to beat us. It was like it was enjoyable to them to beat us,” she said. “There was camaraderie to it.”

Police have not identified a motive, Roberts said. Officers arrived at the scene at 1:49 a.m. but the attackers were gone, he said. Officers searched the area around the mall, but found no one matching the description the woman gave, he said. She has posted to her Facebook page what she described as photographs taken from her cell phone of the attackers.

The injured man declined medical help but called police the next day to give a more detailed statement and describe his injuries, Roberts said in a news release.

"Enjoyable."

It was "enjoyable" for black people to beat two white people (a white male and female).

"Enjoyable."

This is life for white people in 21st Century Black-Run America (BRA), where one isolated example of a white-on-black 'knockout game' becomes fodder for a hate crime investigation, and thousands upon thousands of black-on-white assaults are brushed off as restitution for unpaid debts; debts with centuries of unearned interest in the guise of 'white privilege'.

It's funny: the dialogue from the 1974 Death Wish movie has always resonated with me (it's my hope it will with you as well):

Paul Kersey: Nothing to do but cut and run, huh? What else? What about the old American social custom of self-defense? If the police don't defend us, maybe we ought to do it ourselves.

Jack Toby: We're not pioneers anymore, Dad.

Paul Kersey: What are we, Jack?

Jack Toby: What do you mean?

Paul Kersey: I mean, if we're not pioneers, what have we become? What do you call people who, when they're faced with a condition or fear, do nothing about it, they just run and hide?

Jack Toby: Civilized?

Paul Kersey: No.
