You know what really grinds my gears?
Maybe I'm not seeing the problem comments but the woman was retaliating and beat the crap out of the idiot that tried to sucker punch her.
The comments seem to match what I think most of America feels. Those idiots should be beaten in return.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?
Just seemed like a bunch of over-the-top internet tough guys. There was some pretty disturbing stuff being said as well, per internet norm. But it's possible we were looking at different things.
Interestingly enough, there was a link in the comments to another story in which the police were saying that it wasn't the "knockout" game and the two people definitely had previous contact with each other.
I'm sure the guy deserved it either way though.
But the random guy who runs up and kicks the dude in the face while he's down? I'm not sure I see that as being much better.
It's not like he was involved in any other way, just runs up and gives the guy the running kick to the face. Then he starts pulling the woman he was "helping" off the dude lol. What a jackass.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?
I applied for a job and not only did I not get it, I didn't even get an interview.
What makes it worse...the job got REPOSTED days after I applied.
Are companies seriously choosing to have nobody in a position over someone who doesn't meet 100% of qualifications(but still meets majority of them)?
lol, blame the economy for why people can't get jobs...more like blame the companies. Blame them for making their requirements for most jobs being ones that only people with that same job title in another company are eligible for.....Companies will have hundreds of people applying for 5 or so positions that most are eligible for,and then like 5 people applying for the other 30 positions that next to nobody is eligible for.Comment

Not only did that guy fail to knock her out, but she brought him down, and he got the 'ole punt for it. Sweet justice. Only way it could have been better would be if Batman delivered the punt.Twitter: @TyroneisMaximus

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?
It's ridiculous but give young immature men a game to play and apparently they do it without thinking of the consequences.
But yeah I'm kinda shocked it has picked up so much steam. Just always felt like there was a common human code to not do something like this. You leave that to the really criminally insane.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?
It is simply the most cowardly thing you can do.
Doesn't even deserve the moniker "knockout" because it is a blatant cheapshot.
And for giggles??
Send some of these cowards to a real war zone overseas and let them cry for their mommies and daddies.
The saddest thing is that this is America's youth. The supposed next generation.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?
Unfortunately, these and mass public shootings have something in common: media attention.
I'm not saying these guys do it for media attention, but that is what has made this become so widespread in general. If it was just limited to people doing this and posting videos on Facebook, Instagram, Vine, Twitter, YouTube, or whatever people post videos on, I'm sure it wouldn't have picked up as much steam. Because the media has become involved and they just have to sensationalize it with videos, everyone notices it.Samsung PN60F8500 PDP / Anthem MRX 720 / Klipsch RC-62 II / Klipsch RF-82 II (x2) / Insignia NS-B2111 (x2) / SVS PC13-Ultra / SVS SB-2000 / Sony MDR-7506 Professional / Audio-Technica ATH-R70x / Sony PS3 & PS4 / DirecTV HR44-500 / DarbeeVision DVP-5000 / Panamax M5400-PM / Elgato HD60Comment

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?
Here's my solution to the knockout game:
If you get caught hitting someone then you get 1 year in prison, no questions asked. While locked up the family must pay a substantial fee so the burden for feeding these stains on society doesn't fall on the tax payers.
If one records someone knocking a victim out (or attempting to) and one can easily identify that person, then they get a $1000 reward.
Hopefully, that will make these little degenerates afraid to play "knock out" for the fear of one of their buddies narcing on them.My 2K17 Boston Celtics MyLeague

Put them in prison and make them wear a shirt inside there that reads, "I HIT SOMEONE FROM BEHIND".
And then just grab your popcorn.Comment

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?
Well like I said, that video definitely wasn't the result of someone playing the knockout game, but y'all can run with it all you want.
My opinion is someone who kicks another person in the face when they're already down is as much of a ***** as someone who plays this knockout bull****.
But anyway, my gear grinder is when someone assumes something about a situation, then gets involved in said situation because they THINK they know the facts when in reality they haven't a clue.
