"Teenage Mutant Ninja.... ninjas?"
I heard about this on the radio this morning. Kids are nuts.

You say nuts. I say dumb. In essence, we agree. ;D

Obviously they were not real ninjas. That one kid "yelped" in pain as he fled. You never would have heard Vyth yelp in pain...
True enough, and since it's been well established that Vyth was the worst ninja ever... well... they obviously can't be ninjas.
Besides, a ninja wouldn't allow himself to be arrested. He'd totally flip out and kill people instead.

According to police, a recent three-day investigation involved every officer from the police department.
Hehe... small towns... That's probably five officers.
With a population of less than 2,000 you would think that the kids would realize that they wouldn't go unnoticed. Even if they are ninjas.
Here's to hoping that some kids in a neighboring town decide to take up piracy.

Yar, e'll be ta gettin' da booty mates! We be da Dread Pirates o' de Rogue River! Arrr..
I guess the Ninjas "forgot" to purchase the cyanide tooth-capsules. No one catches a ninja.

I'm really kind of disappointed with the news story, only because I didn't know anyone involved.
You see, a few years ago after my last day at Goodwill I purchased a half-completed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle kids costume that fit my friend Dave. He said he wanted to get arrested in it. Still nothing.

When I was 12 me and my mate spent half a day hollowing out eggshells and filling them with flour to create ninja smoke bombs.
I can still see the look on his face as he triumphantly threw the first one on the ground in front of me, both of us fully expecting a huge cloud of mysterious smoke, and all that happened was the eggshell cracked and a pathetic little pile of flour fell out into the grass.
Kids are not ninjas.

Actually, I think Rogue River has about 3 officers, despite a population of over 3000.
I should know. I lived there from birth to age 23, and now I live about 20 minutes away in Medford.
These clowns almost make me ashamed to admit that. Whats worse is that my social group in high school would have beaten the snot out of these brats for doing this. Both for the lawbreaking, and for the lack of creativity.
Seriously, what is bored youth troublemaking coming to these days? In my day, we had swordfights with live steel in the school parking lot during lunch hour. And I love that I'm not kidding.

Yeah, our angst in my group was a no-face-shot fight club that we used to do. For some reason we called it "Tyson fighting" although I don't seem to remember why. Tons of fun, though.

Just found out something fun.
You see, my wife works in Juvenile Corrections. Here in Medford.
When I mentioned the ninjas to her after she got back from work, she rolled her eyes, and said this to me.
"Yeah, we got 'em."
Apparently the other kids at the correction facility have been asking if its true the ninjas are there. Wow.

This world is so small, it's getting difficult to breathe. Wow indeed.

When I was in high school, we did "Uly's" (pronounced You-LEEZ), which involved head-butting your friends in the chest as hard as you could. You aim your forehead for their sternum and let fly. You only get credit for pulling it off as a surprise attack (which is the difficult part). Stupid and dangerous. But so much fun that there was a group of us who routinely walked around with a book or a closed fist over our hearts as a modicum of defense.
Heh... high school... *shakes head*

At least it was in the translation I was reading at the time.
I read that, thought it was funny, and tried on my buddy. So there you go. An example of violent stories causing stupid kids to do violent things. To their friends.

Just . . . awesome. A true testament to the stupidity of youth.
In other words . . . Paizo Ninja club anybody?
*Is being completely hypocritical*
I'm fairly certain that my friends and I did things that would make these Ninjas (I laugh, even as I type the word) look like MENSA members.
EDIT: And I was serious about forming the Paizo Ninja Club. We'll all take little juice boxes and sandwiches to the park, practice our deadly katas, sneak up on old people, it'll be swell. Trust me.
