First I ever heard of it was here. It sickened me to see it. I think it is a racist game in NYC. Sounds like other parts of the country are just "having fun." Regardless, it is nauseating and this is one liberal who will happily throw the book at 'em.

As to being outraged about Zimmerman and not commenting on this "game," I think there are several reasons. Zimmerman hits closer to home; the coverage of these thugs is just now starting and the outrage will occur as more of the media brings it up; it is too shocking to imagine this type of behavior could occur.

The reality is we could bewail and bemoan so much of today's news and the despicable behavior of some. Most of us choose not to unless it is thrown in our faces. Zimmerman is pretty much thrown in Floridians' faces. The knock out games of NYC are not mentioned much in Florida (yet) -- and probably won't get much mention here until the game is played in Miami, Orlando, Tampa. The murders that occur in Detroit, Chicago, Oakland may get a brief mention in Central Florida but are not considered big news stories. So, we relieve our moral outrage at what we know and, sadly, for now that is Georgie.
