Assasins...

Here's a story that set off an odd bunch of convoluted thoughts in my mind:

Assassin game among Chambersburg Area Senior High School students draws criticism

At one point in the article the principal of the school suggests maybe the participants of this game should play "arena games instead, such as paintball."

It leads me to wonder what this same principal might have said if the student was caught roaming the community with RAP4's? Would it have been something like, "They should have used water guns."

Is the story really about guns? Most residents seemed more concerned with the suspicious looking attire. Or is it just about the inappropriateness of the entire situation?

How would this story have played out if the cops who responded had shot the student dead?

And how about the entrepreneurial initiative of the game's organizers? Should it be applauded or provided a little direction?

Just wondering.
