"Danged stupid" doesn't even begin to describe it.

I never thought highly of the gaming style of the Young and the Dumb.
This new 'game' has them turning The Knock Out Game inward.

I am not kidding when I say that beyond the utter stupidity of the behavior of this idiot and his idiot friends, I am fed up and thoroughly disgusted with the butchery of the English language. "No lackin"? Is it ironic that words fail me at this point?

I searched youtube and found a compilation of clips of these nitwits doing this stuff. Some of them are real, a number of them obviously staged. About halfway through, one of the guys who got pulled on chided the guy that did and said "man, that's how people get killed, someone's gonna die doing this." His buddy answered "yo dawg, I'm just tryna make sure you're on point, you know?"
That culture, I have nothing positive to say about.

"Back in the day" some of my friends played a game called TAG (the assassination game). I didn't play, but as I remember it the group would get together and decide who was going to be the "target." After that it was sort of like hide and seek -- a player's mission was to sneak up on the target at some point later on and simply say, "Tag." You know... sneak up on your bud at Burger King, or at the mall, or in the locker room at school. The target knew he was the target, and his job was to avoid contact with the other players... quite the challenge when we all lived in the same neighborhood and went to school together.
There were no actual (or toy) weapons involved.... Pretty much, it was harmless fun. This business of pulling an actual weapon on your friend... that's danged stupid.
That game is still played in San Diego on a large scale. I was down there about a year ago, and wondered why I would see kids with pool floaties on their legs or arms. Apparently wearing one symbolized you were a participant in the game and are targets while out in public.

You could even have double and triple elimination rounds to help speed this up.

They maybe old enough, but I am guessing most guns used for this game have been stolen.
