Just....damn.
They would have had a cow if they had been around when I was in college. We played the assassination game, complete with rubber stick-um dart guns, masks, etc. Man, I had forgotten all about that. What a blast.
Great! Boulder, CO can finally take some of its own ridiculous PC medicine.
Well don’t blame the students when the zombies take over.
They’re just afraid the kids would beat the football team.
Translation: We don't feel like, you know, doing our job or anything difficult like that!. We'd rather sit here in the warm dry office sipping coffee and eating donuts.
Forget NERF guns.
While in ROTC, we use to carry M-14’s through campus while going to the range.
The peepholes republik of Boulder and the Nazis of the CUPD are alarmed that anyone might actually want to have fun and not make it a political issue. The Capitalism that made CU a good engineering school must be banned.
How hard is it to do the following:
- Write “kids playing with Nerf guns.” on the police report.
- If 911 was used, forward the caller’s name, address, and phone number to the DA for prosecution under the actual crime of abusing the 911 line.
Hm, how hard is that?
Now only outlaws will have Nurf Guns.
brains......brains.....brains.....
Dang. In the early ‘80s the campus murder game was “Assassin.”
Players were issued plastic toy pistols that shot soft suction-cup-tipped darts. You could only load a single round; you had to cock the gun and load another dart for a follow-up shot.
Each player was initially assigned another player as a “target.” If you succeeded in shooting your target, you took over hunting his/her target.
Some rules were required to make it sporting:
1. You were allowed to shoot only: (a) your target; (b) someone who just tried to shoot you; or (c) a player wearing a mask. If you shot someone OTHER than your target, someone who just took a shot at you, or a masked assassin, you were disqualified.
2. Unless you wore a mask, there could be no more than two witnesses when you shot your target. If there were more, the shot didn’t count, (and the target was free to shoot you).
3. The two-witness rule did NOT apply to an assassin wearing a MASK, as long as he/she put on the mask in private.
4. Classrooms and dorm rooms were “safe” zones—no shooting allowed.
The two-witness rule taught players to try to stay in well-populated areas when not in class or in their rooms. This lead to more and more masked-assassin attacks. You’d be eating dinner and suddenly someone would shout “mask!!!” You’d look up to see a masked gunman running through the dining hall, racing towards his target while dodging shots from every other player in the room. It was really fun.
Can you imagine trying this today?
Must be a bunch of pu$$ieS that can't cut it in the real world, so they need badges to make them tough.
...Oops...Boulder, Colorado...Is be a bunch of pu$$ieS that can't cut it in the real world, so they need badges to make them tough.
No wonder they're afraid of a Nerf gun. There ain't ONE entire testicle in that town, or an ounce of common sense.
good gravy
“This is what leads to “man with a gun” calls to police simply because a person is walking their dog down the street while legally carrying a firearm in a holster without a shred of suspicious behavior.”
We’d get these types of calls from time to time. I’d respond with “Ok. Is he doing something wrong?” The response would always be “He’s carrying a firearm and people are concerned.” My response would be something along the lines of “Oh well. He’s within the law. Nothing we can do.”
There are fewer and fewer Americans left on this continent.
Stupidity must be like cream.
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." would be a good response.
