What does crystal noxk or knock?? mean? I keep hearing it referred to

[napi21]

in the media in reference to throwing bricks through windows of the Dems who voted for the HC bill. I tried Google but all I could find was a chenistry explaination, and I don't think that's what the media means.

5. Thanks for the link. My bad for no knowing a close spelling.

I'm 66 and probably should have heard of this but I never did.

6. No, the real problem is the media....

using the term and not disclosing the historical context.

10. Erm, not entirely

I think the media assumes that the audience has at least a cursory understanding of history; that they may not know exactly what events led up to Kristallnacht, but would know what it was.
