This is not really a thing in either America or Europe.

It just happened a few times by some disconnected urban kids and the media picked up on it, they saw a potential "blow-up" and made it far more bigger than it is, all for the views.

Sure, people play this game but people have been involved with meaningless violence for absolutely ever. It's just that the media gave this specific act a name, and people think it's a ever-growing hype that people are into.

It's not - it's just an act of meaningless violence blown out of proportion by the media.

(if anything, the media succesfully gave it life and have more people do it because of it. But I stand by my case that it's just silly nonesense and not really a "thing that is happening everywhere")

I live in America and this is the first I have heard of this. Maybe it's because we love our grandmas in Texas.

They will be coming to Texas soon don't worry, they already started to invade where I'm at. New York is 6 hours from me and its happening there. It has happened once in PA (where I'm from) the video is on youtube of a teacher who gets knocked out.

Sure people have punched people before just to do it but its kind of different when someone actually starts doing it as a "game" because then people will want to play the "game" and since the media shows it, it makes others think about playing the game until it spreads into more people who wouldn't normally play it start doing it because instead of it looking bad its looking like a game.

Basically I'm saying when you put the label "game" on a crime people even in school will start to label it as a GAME TO PLAY and not look at it as a crime because "everyone else is doing it"

and its not a myth its a real game?

I've heard of it, and it warms the ****les of my heart to see the cowardly a-holes get whats coming to them.
And its hardly the first time media has blown something out of proportion, and it actually grew out of proportion. Ever since the Trayvon Martin case I've lost any and all respect for news media.
