Nov. 21, 2001 | HOUMA, La. (AP)

Three teen-agers charged with terrorizing bingo players with squirt guns have struck a plea bargain requiring them to write an essay titled "Why I'm Proud to Be an American."

Under the deal, the terrorizing charges were dropped and the three 18-year-olds pleaded guilty Tuesday to simple battery.

Each must write a 3,500-word essay, perform 48 hours of community service, speak to an eighth-grade class about their experiences in jail and write a letter of apology to the bingo players.

Chad Leblanc, Woodrow Straley and Clint Walker burst into a bingo hall on Oct. 15 and sprayed 10 players with large squirt guns.

Police said the teen-agers created "a near panic" among 175 players who feared the prank was connected to the Sept. 11 terrorists attacks or anthrax scares. (Associated Press)

Soon, it will be a federal offense to say "Boo!" to anyone over the age of fifty-five.

Yet more tragic proof that we need new Super Soaker Control Laws...

Super soakers don't scare the living hell out of people who've been whipped into a near panic by the media, people scare the living hell out of people who've been whipped into a near panic by the media.

About ten years ago, in New Jersey, at the height of the super soaker craze, two teens soaked a car passing by, the person inside wasn't too pleased, pulled out a REAL gun, shot and killed them both. Which one did they ban? THE SUPER SOAKER.

Just a thought to consider - as I'm currently duty managing a radio station, I have to supervise content and make sure we don't breach code.
Think about what we're notbroadcasting to prevent people being whipped into a near panic.

Super-soakers could be an excellent tool in lo-fi germ warfare.

(and then the FBI knocked on his door...)
