The Obama administration filed a federal hate-crimes charge Thursday against a man whom authorities accused of using the “knockout game” to target a black man, videotaping it, and then bragging about the assault to strangers.
The charge marks the first time the administration has taken action on a “knockout” case after the game became an Internet and media phenomenon. It chose a case in which the person accused is white, even though most other cases reported in the news have involved black assailants.

It's interesting to note that the perpetrator in this current case was partially motivated by a desire to see if the MSM would display a double standard by widely publicizing and reporting on his attack, as well as his race, because MSM reporting in white-on-black Knockout Game attacks has been intentionally downplayed and even designed to hide black wrongdoing. It was an experiment, in other words, to prove MSM bias, and was spectacularly successful in that MSM outlets which had studiously ignored the Knockout Game were now covering it, and also because his race (white) was prominently mentioned, either in headline or lede paragraph, whereas with every black-on-white Knockout Game story in which the attacker was black race was not mentioned at all.
