Strange story because...there aren't cars in Fortnite.

I'm sure the article's author knows as much about video games as they do about firearms.

 

[Robin]

Wish they had shown the complainant, the cop, the DA, and even the judge. Some how putting a face to stupid makes a thing clearer. Someone should go to jail for this, and not the ten year olds.

It says they were imagining the cars were tanks. You know - make believe.

 

[Chevusa]

My argument was the driver couldn't have been that terrified or he wouldn't have slammed the brakes on, backed up and then gotten out of his car. If you think someone pointed a gun at you that is the opposite of what you are going to do.

Heh there aren't tanks in fortnite, either!

Unless the kids had black plastic rifles this seems definitely a strange story. I'd like to see pics of what they were pointing at the driver.

Just going off the statement made. That is what was said. It’s 2 little kids playing make believe so it really doesn’t matter if there’s tanks or dinosaurs.
The article says one had an orange nerf bow and the other had a orange capped toy pistol of some type.

And I was going to move to Colorado. NOT

 

[Mr. terzmo]

Everyone involved should lose their job and/or go to jail. Except the kids

 

[Marine Cpl]

Don’t judge this individual incident though. Don’t even bring it up. Remember, there are thousands of positive police encounters.

AND with all the training and being "adults" they cuff and charge the kids after seeing what was going on. Inexcuseable

 

[Cooolone]

Ultimate ridiculousness... And I'm wondering why the driver that reported the "threat" wasn't put through a sobriety test!!! They're smoking some strong shit out there in CO, that's for sure!

 

[@thewheels]

Here's to hoping Karma is an evil, ravenous, cannibalistic bitch.

Obviously there's no actual adults involved in this incident. Children acting out at every level in this story. WTF are the adults?

 

[Automan21]

Totally insane. Kids can't be kids anymore, can't play cops and robbers or cowboys and indians.

Sir...its Native American now.

 

[Phauxtoe]

Crab apples anyone?
that's what the "other" kids threw at cars when i was a kid.
blind over a hill.
can you imagine the Soy boy throwing a hissy fit about a nerf toy being pointed at him. where have all the men gone?

hell i once fell on the floor of walmart when a strange kid points a toy gun at me, that's what a man does!

 

[carpediem]

I threw rocks at cars once. ONCE. Because, fuck you. Caught one hell of an ass whooping. Rightly so, today me would have slapped the shit out of then me too!

 

[Acer-m14]

haven't seen any more on this yet .. but have been wondering if they confiscated all the nurf guns from the 2 kids and
there parents firearms over this ..

 

[Celt]

How in the world does anybody , in good faith, arrest two 10 year old boys for felony charges in a story like this?

Certainly, it must have been a passing motorist, that is a flaming liberal, that called this in, but for the police to act on it is ludicrous.

 

[Celt]

And I was going to move to Colorado. NOT

I was thinking about that as an alternate plan to because my brother lives there but its not looking so likely.

 

[Marine Cpl]

Someone who does not care one bit about the citizenry. Someone who just goes about his day telling himself that they can sort it out in the courtroom.

 

[Acer-m14]

@Marine Cpl was it last week or so ,.. i think a 6 yr old girl had temper tantrum and got cuffed and put in the car .. WTF

 

[Jmac00]

damn, Im glad this shit wasn't around when I was 10. I was a hell raiser. we shot Estes Rockets at passing trucks from ( I would guess) was 2000 ft.

Never even came close to hitting anything, other than some trees. Snow balls at schools buses and passing cars.

We played cowboys and Indians, with bows and arrows with rubber tips, and cap guns. We play "D-day" with sling-shots, and pebbles/stones.

we had "war games" with the entire neighborhood, 40 or 50 kids, running around in a big field with plastic straws and navy beans, shooting spit-beans at each other.

We played Jarts and you would have to catch the jart before it hit the ground/Target, a few kids ended up with small holes in a foot or arm. we always thought that shit was hilarious.

Jesus, I'd still be in jail?

 

[togmaster]

Did much worse than this as a kid.

That entire story should be told for the world to hear and read....

She punched two other students, kicked a teacher and nearly broke everything breakable in an office. When the police arrived, she was kicking the cop.

Yeah, handcuff her. Out of control.

 

[GOPerfect]

As for this story, holy shit on each and every account.

The douche bag that pushed this issue, seems like he needs a good ass kicking.

The cop(s) that arrived, they should have explained to the parents why they were there. Explain that there was a call and he needs to investigate. As soon as it was found out fake and broken toy guns were used, it should have ended. Talk to the kids and inform them that their decisions may not have been the best to chose.

The DA is a douche bag for allowing this to go through as well. The Judge, even worse behavior than the DA,

As for the driver of the car, want something to be scared of? Come fuck with my kid. You would be scared.

 

[Skinny420]

It's sad that this is what we have become. What would happen if police did this 50 yrs ago. Guarantee those cops, the judge and the da would be looking for a new job.....or worse. Almost a guarantee. Also just imagine if the 2 boys had said that they identified as gay females and were pretending to fight off male oppressors lead by Donald Trump. Probably would have got a medal and been heros in the media. Pathetic world we live in. Hope karma has a very busy year for these people.

Sir...its Native American now.

Livestock management technicians and indigenous peoples.

The correct course of action for a 6yr old never involves law enforcement.

The correct course of action is for the principal to paddle her ass.

If you run an elementary school, and you think you need to call the cops to handle your kids, you are not competent to do the job and the school board needs to find someone who is.

Now, I realize that principals can't paddle a kids ass anymore, and that insanity leads directly to this insanity (and worse).

Still, if you're the police dispatcher and someone calls for you to arrest a 6yr old, the correct answer is "6yr olds aren't capable of mens rea, they cannot commit a crime. Call someone else, this isn't our job. If the little witch is really acting like an animal try the dog catcher"
