Things like this would happen a lot more in the Southern states. Absolutely no sympathy for the kid in this situation.
If this happened to some stranger and you pulled out your gun to shoot the kid who did it, would you be in trouble with the law since they didn't directly hit you?
I only saw black kids doing this. Is this a BLACK KID thing? What ever happened responsible parents teaching right from wrong? SAD world we live in. Nope, not if you can show via the coroner/medical examiner that the shot kid has your body grease or one of your facial hairs on his fist.
Self defense extends to people around you. If the guy that did it was running off and you shot him in the back you would probably be in trouble. If you had reason to believe they were going to continue attacking the person or somebody else you have the right to defend them.* *I'm not a lawyer so I could be totally off base.
Took some restraint by the victim to only shoot twice, and non-lethal shots. <iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/gzptOuQ0M9U?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Honestly, re-watching the clips that I've seen so far, it does seem to be black on white crimes. All part of the "game" I guess.
One of the videos they keep showing to illustrate this game is out of context. It's the one of the young Muslim girl wearing a hijab in London and being knocked out by a black male. That was a reported as a hate crime and they interviewed the girl and she noticed that the male was scoping her out, giving her the stink eye and then following her before walloping her with a punch. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/E0qZlBY4-2I" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
The game might be new, but assault is pretty old. And, we've developed a set of laws a long time ago to deal with perpetrators, so I don't know what the big deal is. If you sucker punch someone, you run a strong risk of being imprisoned for a long time. If you're the type to want to sucker punch somebody, you're likely already a ne'er-do-well who's going to be doing some vicious to someone sooner or later anyway. If not sucker punches then maybe drive-bys or hold-ups. I doubt it's a fad that is turning otherwise stand-up, law-abiding citizens into criminals.

A lot of internet tough guys claiming they would shoot these kids. Why can't you fight back like a man?
