#6  g(r)omgoru, the photos at the link show the attacker was dark.

Frank G and Abu Uluque, knockout game is what I meant — wilding was some years earlier and involved a group of miscreants against a single target. Both are equally vicious in intent, and pretty much involve the same people, but we do try to stay current with ever-changing fashions in vocabulary.

#1  Black attacker, elderly white victims... What was that game the yoots used to play on the streets a few summers ago, when they would walk past a target then suddenly attack them, just for giggles? Some of the victims ended up hospitalized. I vote it’s either that or the miscreant is naturally or artificially nuts. The fact that he was sent straight for a psych evaluation is suggestive.

I’d bet good money he was also recently released from prison so he wouldn’t catch the coronavirus, and his rap sheet is long and repetitive.
