This is just too weird not to share. From the East Side Police Newsletter:
CHURCH ORGANIZES WAR GAMES
On 6/17, an officer was on routine patrol, shortly after midnight, when she observed several juveniles in the back of a pick up truck in a church parking lot. Her attention was drawn to the boys because of the late hour and they appeared to be holding handguns and rifles. A nearby adult contacted the officer and explained that the boys had air soft guns. He stated that the church organizes this activity for the boys where half of them hide in the woods with their “guns” and the other half go and find them with their “guns”. Some of the boys were dressed in black trench coats and gas masks. The air soft guns looked like AK47’s, shot guns and handguns.
The officers attempted explain that juveniles carrying guns, dressed in dark clothing during the middle of the night may alarm anyone who sees them and might result in a tragedy if confronted by police who believe the guns to be real. A follow up contact was made with the pastor of the church. While he acknowledged our concerns, he did not commit to ending this practice.
So, is that what this is about? I guess the paintball guns weren’t enough?
And I thought it was the lefties that were supposed to be the “nanny-staters”? This is going to be confusing to the AM talk radio listeners!
