On the final position paper, I had referenced a blurb that appeared on the Today show that showcased a new game that kids around the world are playing. It's called the "Knock Out" game, where teenagers go up to a random person on the street and well, knock them out. Justice is defined as the quality of being fair and reasonable. These kids are being enabled by other people to knock someone out, they are not being penalized because they are doing something that is viewed as okay in their eyes. I believe that these kids have the right to do what they want, but at the same time, they should think about what they do before they do it. Moreover, more security should be put in effect to better protect people from attacks such as this. Do you all have any thoughts on this? Have you ever participated in something like this? If so, how did it affect you after?
Here's an article displaying this game:

I think this is horrible! The fact that people are just knocking out random pedestrians shows how ignorant they are. If they were actually aware of the consequences that can come from just one simple punch, they probably would not participate in this dumb activity.
