Agree it’s insane the father shot a child! Very glad he’s no longer a danger to society.

Playing with water guns with friends as pool/backyard activity I take no issue with. Randomly accosting people with water guns (or water balloons or any other form of spontaneous mess) while they’re shopping is absolutely rude and shouldn’t be encouraged, although making it illegal seems over the top to me.

The game of assassin does not include shooting a water gun at a random person. Every week each player gets a new name of the person they need to hot with water and at the same time, another person will be getting their name to be shot at. If you hit them, they're out of the game and if you don't hit them in the week then you're out of the game. that's how the participant pool gets smaller each week for somebody to eventually win the pot of money.

The crazy father's daughter chose to participate in the game. It's not mandatory. So yes, she could potentially be shot with a water gun while shopping by the person who is supposed to get her. She was also targeting somebody that she needed to get that week. . Everybody who plays is a killer and a target. It really is just a large game of tag with water guns. Nothing nefarious. Yes, I think it's dumb but it certainly isn't something to get all holier than thou about and say these darn kids are ruining our country or whatever it is you guys are thinking.

Do we know this to be the case? Obviously the whole situation is crazy, but if this were true, it would be even more egregious.

Someone gave a crazy person a gun.
The daughter should have known not to call his crazy father over such incident. She may be low intelligence and not known better.
This father was going to shoot someone sooner or later.

This has nothing to do with the game and everything to do with an absolutely crazy person.

Hopefully this game is over now

Back in my day (and actually in Kansas, randomly enough) people played Assassins using socks. Seems much less alarming to have a pair of balled up gym socks flying at you than using any type of toy gun.

As a side note, I would say in this day and age, playing any type of shooting “game” is stupid and unnecessary. It’s triggering to even read about, as someone who has a friend who was killed in a workplace shooting. It’s hard enough for kids and parents to even go to school these days. Think about Ulvade, for God’s sake. Any type of school shooting “game” is not to be tolerated.

Agree. America is such a violent country, and gun obsessed.

We buy our children expensive first person shooter games, for entertainment. Half or more of our primetime “entertainment” options are about murder (usually femicide).

We are so surrounded by it, we do not even register how pathological it is.

No one in the rest of the world plays 1st person shooter games. This is a characteristic that makes America uniquely violent.

WATER guns? like playing in the backyard as little kids? No, they aren't.

I bet the teens were rude to him, which sent him further into a rage.

Read the article.No words were exchanged. Kids had no idea who he was.Kid slowed down to let the father use the pedestrian walkway.Father reached gun into driver's open window and shot him.

Let's play a game. If this happened in DC what woke charge would the Dad get? Assault?

That's what the guy that opened fire on the nightclub crowd and shot my friend got.

I wish we were Kansas! Fry that guy
