Some major cultural phenomena can only be learned about from local media outlets, because the national media won’t touch stories that seriously undermine its narrative. An example is the Knockout Game:

A 20-year-old St. Louis man convicted in the “knockout game” murder of a Vietnamese immigrant was sentenced to life in prison on Thursday.

Elex Murphy was found guilty of second-degree murder for killing 72-year-old Hoang Nguyen.

Nguyen was walking home with his wife when he was attacked by four teenagers. Police say the couple did nothing to provoke the attack.

Note that the word teenager does not mean the assailants were actually in their teens. It is a euphemism, not a descriptive term.

In the knockout game, people are picked at random and beaten. The attacks are sometimes captured on cell phone video, and some have been posted on social media sites.

Not quite at random. Just as the attackers are always black, the victims never are.
