Re:Why? (Score 1)

In light of today's events, I'd be surprised if this doesn't happen at my university. Alfred University's ZvsH game started last week, and today a professor saw one of the humans with their Nerf gun, freaked and called the police. The campus was locked down for several hours while they got the 'gunman' situation figured out. The faculty had been told beforehand that the game was going on, and there would be nerf guns being carried around, so this must've been a real winner of a prof.

What's really ironic for me is that I joined the game's Facebook group when this story was posted and linked to it. I made the comment that they better hope the (sleepy town's) police force didn't get too gung-ho about doing their job. Several people replied to the effect of 'haha, those people (at BGSU) are idiots.'

They're probably not laughing too much tonight.

The story, what there is of it, is listed on the U's front page.
