Knockout Game Myth Comes Back To Haunt Right-Wing Pundits: White Man Charged With 'Hate Crime' Against Black

Conrad Alvin Barrett: The grinning racist was charged with a federal hate crime for a
so-called "knockout game" attack on an elderly black man. (Screen capture from video)

By Ronald David Jackson
A 27-year-old man who lives in Katy, Texas is being charged with a federal "hate crime" after he video taped his own assault on a 79-year-old black man on November 24, according to the complaint. The man, Conrad Alvin Barrett, allegedly wanted to see if his "knockout game" attack would be "nationally televised."

The following CNN news report on the attack is interesting. It seems CNN producers didn't want to talk about a so-called "knockout game" assault of a white person upon a black without airing bogus footage of a "knockout game" assault of blacks on a white person. For a critical analysis of this and other bogus video footage used to "prove" the existence of a "knockout game" among black youth go here.

Murderer of Trayvon Martin Gets Yet Another Reprieve: Zimmerman 'Girlfriend' Drops Charges of Aggravated Assault, Battery, Criminal Mischief - Changes Story

George Zimmerman: After his acquittal in the murder of teen Trayvon Martin, he has had many run-ins with law enforcement. He has been stopped for speeding twice; he was involved in a domestic violence dispute with his estranged wife who has revealed doubts about his innocence in the killing of Trayvon Martin. The Police Chief in the Florida town where Zimmerman once resided has called Zimmerman a "ticking time bomb" and another "Sandy Hook" waiting to happen. In the latest incident, Zimmerman was charged with aggravated assault, battery, and criminal mischief by his new 'girlfriend'. Now this new accuser claims she may have 'misspoken' while talking to police during her 911 call. Was she threatened or paid off?

The 'Knockout Game' and the Myth of the 'Liberal Media'

Adapted from "Day 29: Knockout!" (Photo: Mike Nelson

"If there is a 'liberal media', why is the knockout game story being circulated by such 'liberal' news outlets like MSNBC, CNN, The NY Times, USA Today, and others? Why would the liberal media legitimate the knockout game narrative instead of suppressing or covering it up?

"The 'liberal media' is a myth and a lie. There is no liberal media; there is only a corporate media...

"The allure of the knockout game for white conservatives and the Right-wing media (in an era where racism and conservatism are one in the same) is irresistible and instinctive. The supposedly “liberal media” is influenced by similar forces."

I share no sense of linked fate with Marvell Weaver, the hoodlum who was arrested for playing the "knockout game" and then decided to do an interview with the local news about his exploits.

After watching Weaver's pathetic explanation for the logic of his crime, I am left wondering what happened to shame?

Right-wing trolls are doing their best to play up the foolishness called the "knockout game". It is a new moral panic that combines white anxieties about black criminality, fear of black young people, and stereotypes about "African-American violence" which have been cultivated by white supremacists since Reconstruction.

The emails, comments, and stories on Right-wing websites about the faux moral panic "knockout game" phenomena are not rooted in a fair concern about crime and youth brigandry. Rather, the "knockout game" meme is rooted in a pathologically white racist obsession with "black crime"--what is alone and unique in its distinction, as white privilege has disallowed any discussion of "white crime" in America's public discourse.

George Zimmerman's 'Karma': Killer of Trayvon Martin Arraigned in Same Courthouse of Trayvon Martin Murder Trial

The former neighborhood watchman, who was acquitted of murdering the 17-year-old unarmed teen, was cuffed after a domestic dispute with his reportedly pregnant new girlfriend, Samantha Scheibe. But this isn't Zimmerman's first run-in with the law since the court case, as he was also involved in a domestic conflict in September with his soon-to-be ex-wife, Shellie.

George Zimmerman is bound for a familiar place — a Sanford, Fla. courtroom.

The pistol-packing former neighborhood watchman will be arraigned on an assault charge Tuesday in the same courthouse where he was found not guilty in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.

Zimmerman, who spent the night in jail, is accused of threatening his new girlfriend with a long-barrel shotgun during a fracas at her Florida home.

And while Zimmerman, 30, had legal heavy hitters Don West and Mark O'Mara in his corner four months ago, for this court appearance he will be relying on a court-appointed attorney named Jeff Dowdy.

George Zimmerman has been arrested for domestic violence in Orlando, FL according to a report from the Associated Press. Seminole County Sheriff deputies reportedly responded to 911 "disturbance call" at a house. The alleged "domestic dispute" involved a girlfriend who was not Zimmerman's estranged wife.

Zimmerman's girlfriend, Samantha Schiebe, told the 911 dispatcher that Zimmerman broke furniture and pointed a shotgun at her, according to Dennis Lemma, chief deputy with the Seminole County (FL) Sheriff's Office. Zimmerman was arrested and charged with aggravated assault, a felony, other misdemeanor charges and held without bail. A search warrant is being sought to hunt for guns believed to be hidden inside of the home where Zimmerman was arrested.
