Pennsylvania schoolteacher Jim Addlespurger was walking home, minding his own business, when a group of teenagers knocked him out in broad daylight with no warning at all. He dropped face-down to the curb.

It's called the "knockout game": teenagers knocking people out for the fun of it. They even target women and children. Cases are piling up, and police are on high alert.

"I was hit with one punch that knocked me to the cold concrete," said Addlespurger, who has since recovered from the attack, which was caught on video. "It's a horrific thing to see, and I'm fortunate that I'm alive here to tell you about it."

Police fear the knockout game has been spreading, with cases from San Diego to St. Louis and Chicago. In Syracuse, N.Y., two men were killed in a possible knockout case. In New York City, police are investigating at least seven attacks.

One knockout game video shows a woman walking down the street when a stranger runs up and clocks her from behind a sucker punch so brutal, the victim lies on the sidewalk, unable to move. In New Jersey, it appears suspects filmed their own attack, laughing and bragging about it.

Surveillance video shows an apparent victim of the "knockout game" fallen on the street.

"It appears these are just random acts of violence," said former FBI profiler Clint Van Zandt. "There's no robbery, there's no rhyme or reason; it's just simply youths making a decision they're going to punch somebody out sometimes as simple as $5 bet between themselves."

Seventeen-year-old Marvel Weaver admits he played a version of the knockout game using a stun gun. He was caught and is now in jail.

"It was a lesson learned," Weaver told TODAY. "Someone throws it out there: 'Want to play this?' And people go along with it and one thing leads to another, and it just goes all downhill."

"These kids are acting, maybe not thinking and not knowing the consequence of what could happen," said knockout game victim Jim Addlespurger.

In New York City, a man arrested for playing the knockout game has been charged with a hate crime. Police believe the victim was targeted because he's Jewish. Now, as these videos end up on YouTube, officials are worried about copycat attacks in cities nationwide.

'Knockout game': Teens attack innocent people just for fun ...

Are you familiar with the Knockout Game? It is a racially motivated violent game that targets whites. How is it played?

You start with a group of blacks that number anywhere from 3 to 30 people. As a group, they search for white people, preferably alone, elderly and somewhat defenseless. If they cant find any, Asians are the next ethnic group targeted. When a target is selected, at least one of the blacks approaches the target and then suddenly sucker punches them in the face as hard as they can. If the victim is knocked out, the person that hit them wins. If the victim is not knocked out, then you continue to hit and kick them until youre too tired to hit anymore or until the person is dead.

Knockout has become all too common in St. Louis. In the past two years, there have been at least 100 Knockout victims, some of which have died. In 2011, one victim was Matt Quain who was jumped by a group of black teens and beaten. He suffered numerous abrasions to his face along with a broken jaw. One of the teens involved in the attack was Demetrius Murphy, a member of one of the most heinous groups in St. Louis known as the Knockout Gang.

A 13 year old girl witnessed the attack and identified Murphy as one of the attackers and Murphy was charged with the crime. When it came time for the trial, the 13 year old girl failed to show and Murphy was released. Everyone involved in the case believes that the girl was intimidated by Murphys friends and six months afterwards, the girls mother confirmed that to be the case. The case was one of the big news stories in the city for over a month and Murphys photo was well broadcast, making him easily identifiable to St. Louis residents.

Murphy may have gotten away with the brutal beating of Matt Quain, but he didnt get away with trying it again on another white St. Louis homeowner. Last Thursday, Murphy, 15, and a 17 year old companion was attempting to break into the home of a 33 year old white male with the intent to burglarize it. When the homeowner heard noises outside at 1:30 in the morning, he grabbed his gun and went to investigate. Outside, Murphy started to come at him. Feeling he was in danger, he fired his gun, killing Murphy. The 17 year old ran away but was later apprehended by police.

Knockout is a racial hate crime that is being ignored and swept under the rug by black social leaders like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson Sr. If a group of whites played Knockout and targeted blacks, Sharpton, the media and the national press would be all over them, but since its blacks targeting whites, everyone just turns their heads and says nothing.

If I lived in the St. Louis area, I would have a gun with me at all times. Seems the only way avoid being a victim of the Knockout Game is to be well armed and prepared. Perhaps if enough black Knockout players are shot and killed by their intended victims, theyll start to think twice about who theyre going to attack next. Like Ive always been taught, the best defense is a strong offense.

SYDNEY: The Australia and India squads have had ample time in the past four months to work each other out, ensuring a level of tension for their World Cup semifinal expected to go well beyond the usual for a knockout game. Australia all-rounder James Faulkner wont be surprised if theres some niggle and verbal exchanges, just like hes not surprised that defending champion India shook off its poor form leading into the World Cup to win seven consecutive matches. Theyve spent a fair bit of time in the country, so theyve adapted well to the conditions, Faulkner told a news conference Monday. Its no surprise theyre up against us in the semifinal, theyre a very strong team. Youre going to see two very good teams going up against each other it should be a very good spectacle. Australia has won the Cricket World Cup four times and reached the final on two other occasions, but never on home soil. India has two World Cup titles, and became the first team to clinch it at home in 2011 after beating Australia in the quarterfinals, Pakistan in the semifinals and Sri Lanka in the championship match. India didnt win a competitive match between the time the squad landed in Australia in November until its opening World Cup game against Pakistan on Feb. 15. In that time, it lost a test series to Australia, and was winless in a limited-overs tri-series against Australia and England. There was some glaring aggression between the teams in the test and ODI series, with players on both sides sanctioned and warned that sledging would not be tolerated at the World Cup. Australian all-rounder Shane Watson was fined last week for his part in an exchange with Pakistan paceman Wahab Riaz during a torrid spell of fast, short-pitch bowling that was easily the highlight of the quarterfinal in Adelaide. Faulkner said that exchange was all in great spirit, and he expected more spirited exchanges with a spot in the final at stake at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Thursday. Theres going to be words said and its going to be a really tough contest, Faulkner said, adding that theres usually some sledging on the field. Its the nature of the game, its a semifinal. Cut throat. Neither team will be backing down. The India squad practiced at the SCG on Monday but, as has become the usual routine at the World Cup, remained off limits to the media until the eve of the match. The Sydney venue is expected to be packed with traveling India fans who may outnumber Australia supporters and possibly make it seem more like an away game for the locals. We were talking about it last night at dinner, the last game we played here it definitely felt like that, Faulkner said. The passion the Indian fans show toward their cricket team is sensational, so were definitely expecting that.
