Senior Assassin “Game” - Page 2

@JeanLouiseFinch I never heard of this "game" but everything that you said makes sense! I agree that it should be called something else.

I think all water guns (and they can be a lot of fun) should be neon colored. It's ridiculous for some to look real. Great way to get hurt or worse.

I agree with another poster that this should be confined to a specific location set up for this....great new business idea.

Road rage, reckless driving or carjacking should have nothing to do with a water gun fight! That is far too reckless. There should be responsible rules for this game but we are talking about teens. Too bad many are raised with lack of rules and consequences for bad moves.

It's all fun and games until someone gets killed.

Well of course the mom is outraged 🙄. Some families think the world should revolve around them. These young people are going to find out life is tough when mommy can't protect them when they break laws.

In this day and age, schools are on lockdown every day for suspicious activity, so don't go around looking like you are up to no good.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Doesn't surprise me that teens, who have grown up learning to hide from gun massacres in the classroom, would up the ante of an old-school childhood game.
Unfortunately, this generation has grown up on video games and this 'game' is more akin to playing one of those out.

And the kids who played cowboys and indians and cops and robbers....what did they grow up on?

Same thing. All about killing and shooting but with different toys.

It’s a stupid game but in this day & age, people are nervous & the kid could have been hurt. I think the school bears some responsibility & should have counseled the kids against it. I’m sure school officials were aware of the tradition. I don’t think the boy should have spent three days in jail because felons who hurt people or steal are released & I don’t think it should go on his permanent record.

When kids would play cowboys and indians or cops and robbers, there were understood/perceived good guys and bad guys. These days it's just about the killing to score points.

@Stray - apparently it's been a tradition for years. It's not a school sanctioned activity, even though the board and administration know about it. It's played off school property, so how can they responsible? It's all student run.

One thing I haven't heard an explanation on is what were some students doing off campus at 1:00 PM when school was in session? The school administration could find the boy (and anyone he was playing with) truant but I'm pretty sure anything beyond that is outside their scope.

In theory such a fun game. In reality not in this day and age. The citizen did the right thing calling it in because who's to say what that kid's intent was. Of course it was the high school game but it could have been anything else. We unfortuately see it way too often. Very sad for the kid and hopefully charges are dropped but I think that arrest will stay on his record unfortunately.

Just the name of the game brings fear into your mind. Whoever thought this was cool and adventurous needs some help. In this day and age, this game sounds like someone is going to die to complete it. I can't believe parents think this is a good outlet for their children. What is the next stunt, jumping off a bridge to see who can survive. Seriously, we have some troubled teens that need a better outlet for their creativity.

Our Sheriff's Dept sent out a notice about it and how dangerous it could be for kids....esp if the cops were called thinking it was a real gun. They were asking parents to stop their kids from participation.

We just had a school shooter scare 2 days ago at a high school. A girl was apprended and charged. She was maybe 16 and said it was a prank because she was bored.
