Kansas Prosecutor: Teens Playing Dangerous Game
- Fri 10:32 AM 05/18/2012
No word on whether the youths will be charged
Sedgwick County prosecutors say three teens who faked a robbery at a Subway restaurant in Wichita were playing a dangerous game called "Urban Skittles."
A statement from the district attorney's office says the game originated in England. It is played by one or more youths who run into a random business and order everyone to the floor. The youths then count the number of people on the floor before leaving.
That's what happened Monday when a young man walked into the restaurant, put his hand in his pocket and ordered everyone down. Police say two teens with him ran out while he counted the people, then he fled without taking any money.
There was no word on whether the youths will be charged.

Agreed Tango, if it indeed originated Across the pond you wouldn’t have to worry about getting shot, but here where people are still able to practice their second amendment rights it’s more like playing a game of russian roulette. These guys are lucky they landed on an empty chamber the next batch of idiots that attempt this may not be so lucky.

I thought the same thing when I read this!! What a DANGEROUS game for these kids to be "playing"!! Not to mention, if a law enforcement officer would have been on scene, that would have been a "good" shooting, the appearance of having a weapon, even if it's not displayed, is all the excuse they would need to shoot, ask questions later. Iamgonnagetu: Not so sure they would be that dumb, would they!!! Go into the Wichita ghetto area doing something like that may get them more than they bargain for!! :)
