This is getting out of hand. Seriously, playing a game outside with toys is now disorderly conduct?

Wow. They must have zero violent crime to be stopping nerf wars..

Heck, if this was UT they’d have cited them for that at least, and maybe for having a weapon on campus. I know the cops there told us that their weapons policy makes no difference between airsoft and real guns.

Yeah but the thing is, at least they weren’t murdered. We are making progress here!

I know we’re supposed to be winning, but seeing crap like this really makes me wonder sometimes.

Apparently, playing with Nerf guns is now a “trigger”.

Parents received a letter about it last week, warning them any complaints will “be investigated and handled accordingly.”
Or not…

Well, parents were notified! That should have immediately stopped all playing outside, because any decent normal parent would realize playing outside is not allowed by the overlords of creation! /s
hey, did anyone tell the kids the cops were going crazy?

You guys don’t seem to understand. I was in the war. The big war. The Nerf War. And everytime I see a nerf gun in a kid’s hands, I immediately flashback to that moment on Coker Street. He couldn’t have been more than 8 years old. A child soldier pressed into service by the Highland Park Horde. Maybe he was out of darts. Maybe he was tired or his mother had called him to come home. All I could think about was winning. If the Red Ninjas were anything, we were kings of Nerf. And in that moment when our eyes met, I knew it was him or me. The first dart bounced off his bicycle handlebars. But the second one found its mark on his SpongeBob shirt. I’ll never forget the last words out of his mouth to me that day. “You’re stupid”. To this day, as I swirl my root beer in the mug, I can’t help but think maybe he was right. Maybe, I am stupid.

FWIW, they’ve dropped all the DC charges on the kids and they’ve agreed to make a “safety video” to show to younger kids to warn them about doing stupid things or something. (WAOW had a hilarious promo spot on tv the other day summing up the story (it’s ‘local’ for me, I live about 40 miles south of Wausau) but I couldn’t find it online. They had dramatic music and beautifully cut interview quotes, I’m still not sure if it was trying to make it sound like a real shooting, or if the interns were laughing the whole time they made it.)
