(open thread to see video - its excellent). I really like how the girl is just kind of laying on him and beating the tar out of him. Someone raised their daughter right!

Knockout Game Goes Terribly RIGHT as Woman Wails on Her Attacker

The video shows the assailant targeting the woman, who doesn't go down after he lands his punch. She turns around and starts punching him repeatedly in the head - but, only after her boyfriend delivers an epic kick to the face.

According to OpposingViews.com, the incident occurred in a Las Vegas, Nevada shopping mall.

This is the knockout game gone right!

Just to refresh everyone's memory, the knockout game is a perverse activity where someone tries to knock an unsuspecting bystander unconscious with one punch.

**LordofHats**

Looks like we have a new form of entertainment. The reverse knock out game, where you survive the punch and proceed to beat the guy/gal senseless

**Kovnik Obama**

I didn't know what the knockout game was, before this. I kept thinking it was a recent movie that had slipped under my radar. Whatever happened to just calling it ''stupidly punching random people in the face''?

Tip of the hat to the lady for superb reflexes.

Was the cameraman an accomplice of the epic dumbass, or is it just that there's always someone filming pointless gak everywhere you go?

**Frazzled**

Wish I knew. Don't think about the Option B though. It might give you the willies if you think about it too long.

Given that the opening lines of "dialogue" was "lets go! go, go" or something to that effect, he was probably an accomplice.

Does anyone yearn for the "good ole days" when people had something akin to respect for each other, and if they wanted to fight, it'd be a fairly stand up affair? Or... they'd go to a gym and learn proper?

**Kilkrazy**

I had never heard of "The Knockout Game" before.

In the UK there are a few people languishing in prison at Her Majesty's pleasure following successful prosecutions for murder after a "Knockout Game" punch had a serious effect.

**Dreadclaw69**

Nicely done that lady

**Ninjacommando**

You should look into the other Knock game stories. Like the one where the group of teens tried to knock out an old lady... and then she pulled out a pistol and killed two of them, and then the media calls the teens the victims in the whole affair.......

The lesson is, Don't assault someone

Sounds like those two boys got a well-earned Darwin Award. I'm feeling vindictive right now, so stupidity gets no sympathy. Fething airport delays for 24 hrs... Grrrr

**Ma55ter_fett**

Considering that the "knockout game" was a thing invented by the media on a slow news day I find it amusing that people are now trying it.

Kudo's for knocking the dude on his ass though.

**azazel the cat**

Of all of these, I think my favourite knockout game fail is the one where the d-bag encountered Roger Huerta.

I liked the dude that jogged up and punted that idiot in the face right after. Definitely popcorn worthy

Not exactly a Knockout Game story, but still a true (mexican) hero story.

Can we all collectively stop calling it a game?

Because it most certainly is not. Not even a little.

Something a lot closer to assault. Lets call it 'Assault'.

But if we call it a "game" and convince scared suburbanites that roving gangs of terrifying (mostly black) teenagers are out get them, we can increase our web traffic and make money for our sponsors so we can continue the cycle.

And whatever you do, don't flash your headlights if the other car has their headlights off! That's the signal for them to kill you to get initiated into their gang!

It was a knockout game story. Bobino ran up to a woman and punched her in the back of the head. He had apparently hit a few other people in the same way throughout the evening.

Uh... it's something that's happening for quite a while in St. Louis.

Either gang initiation... or they were "bored".

Ding! While I'm not saying it hasn't happened - it certainly has - I think the vast majority of this "craze" is as rooted in reality as Jenkem.

Also, if you see a young child lost and alone and crying for help, you shouldn't help them because they're just being used as bait by rapists to lure people to an isolated area.

**RossDas**

What horrible senseless behaviour that has the potential to bring tragedy to the lives of strangers; always good to see the culprits getting what they deserve. I hope it's an automatic jail sentence for them when proven guilty - how nice of their pals to film it for evidence.

**LuciusAR**

Reminds me of something in the UK about 5 years ago that was nicknamed 'happy slapping'. It was massive in the media for a few months and then you never heard
much about it. I don't know if it went out of fashion or it was all just media hype in the first place.

**RossDas**

Perhaps it was abandoned in favour of regular random violence minus the filming, and we only hear about it as common assault nowadays?

**Kilkrazy**

Happy Slapping was connected with that fizzy orange drink. I can't remember its name. They had adverts with a character who would come up and slap someone's face with big orange rubber gloves.
