Same for me in Syracuse. Routinely carry a Sauer & Sons semi in a leather belly pack. Bout 6 months ago, a gentleman was walking down a street there when two kids, one 13 and the other 15, came up to him. They were going to play the local, police described, "knockout game" with him. He was unaware. The 13 year old ran up to him and hit him with his best shot. It did not work so the 15 year old knocked the man down and kicked him to death. Both were arrested some days later and the trials just got over. The 13 year old will have some sort of supervised release with no criminal record. The 15 year old will have his record expunged when he turns 18 if he does not get into any more trouble. This "knock out game" is the now thing with the Syracuse gangs.
