Students at the University of Colorado are being told by campus police that their planned game of "Humans vs. Zombies" must be canceled because of a campus ban on toys that look like guns.
The planned game would divide participants into "humans" and "zombies" with the human team defending themselves with NERF guns. Campus police "[fear] they could be painted to look like a real weapon and someone could become alarmed and notify authorities, who would have to respond."
"If we have people playing a game and someone happens to be walking and sees someone crouched down with something that looks like a weapon, then they call us, we're going to respond," said campus police spokesman Mollie Bosley.

They would have had a cow if they had been around when I was in college. We played the assassination game, complete with rubber stick-um dart guns, masks, etc. Man, I had forgotten all about that. What a blast.

Campus police [fear] they could be painted to look like a real weapon and someone could become alarmed and notify authorities, who would have to respond Translation: We don't feel like, you know, doing our job or anything difficult like that!. We'd rather sit here in the warm dry office sipping coffee and eating donuts.

They would have had a cow if they had been around when I was in college.We threw frisbees in our dorm hall. I really learned how to throw one straight.
We also liked butt sliding on weekends. Soap up the floor, get a running start, and off you go.
That lasted until they installed carpets in that dorm.

Forget NERF guns.
While in ROTC, we use to carry M-14’s through campus while going to the range.

The peepholes republik of Boulder and the Nazis of the CUPD are alarmed that anyone might actually want to have fun and not make it a political issue. The Capitalism that made CU a good engineering school must be banned.

While in ROTC, we use to carry M-14s through campus while going to the range.I hear you. I was on the Rifle Team all four years, and our .22 range was on the 4th floor of the Admin building.
No biggie..it was during the 70s.

...While in ROTC, we use to carry M-14s through campus while going to the range...In high school (Alabama 1970's), our JROTC rifle range was in a basement under the school. Wonder if it's still there. I'm sure liberals would have a cow.

How hard is it to do the following:
- Write “kids playing with Nerf guns.” on the police report.
- If 911 was used, forward the caller’s name, address, and phone number to the DA for prosecution under the actual crime of abusing the 911 line.
Hm, how hard is that?
