We used to "kill" each other by pointing sticks at each other and acting like they were guns, bang bang! We never found something that we thought was poison to put into someone's food. These kids need serious punishment to be taught that this behavior is way beyond "play".

Age has nothing to do with it. For example, when I hear a 58 year old man making statements I made when I was a 14 year old stoner, I am going to refer to them as Junior.
