A video from 2021 has gone viral again where one hundred teens engaged in a violent activity called ‘Point Them Out, Knock Them Out’ wherein an individual is marked by the mob and then beaten to a pulp.
The teenagers playing the game are primarily black, while the victims shown in the video are almost exclusively white, with the exception of a black security guard who risked bodily harm to save one of the fallen victims. A witness account indicates that there was at least one additional black victim, though this was unclear in the video.
In the uncensored video below, teens are shown rushing a Kroger’s grocery store in Memphis, Tennessee where they target a white employee.
What happens next is nothing short of a mass hate crime, as the individuals proceed to knock the employee down, throw pumpkins on him and then stomp his head repeatedly.
What’s most appalling and shocking is that the individuals, as well as the person making the video, seem to find the game to be nothing out of the ordinary. The videographer actually laughs from excitement when she realizes that a white individual has been targeted. Once that person is taken down by the mob, they set their sights on another, and then another.
