The guns trick-or-treaters are carrying are probably toys. Probably.

That does indeed bear repeating. When the police issue a warning that says, basically, "we might shoot unarmed people because we can't tell an active shooter from a kid in costume", that's a classic blame-the-victim message.

I'm so glad that they finally stood up for the gay rapper/vampire couples, geisha, mule farming, and terrorist communities.

I think subby must have meant they police are saying it is their job to blow away the kids with plastic guns. Probably a union protected job. DNRTFA.

So my takeaway, DavidVincent, is that minorities are not allowed to dress as cowboys, right? 'Cause they're stereotyping white people, right?

/yeah, didn't think so....
 
2011-10-27 04:22:55 PM
Meh. How can you be sure? I say take them out anyway, just to be safe.

You know what? I think you're right-ish. We shouldn't mock or stereotype, it's true, but this is halloween, a celebration of the opening of the Hell Mouth. The bleed through of evil makes us do evil things. And I must heave a hearty so-what at the gentler evil of racism. I mean seriously, I could be stabbing you.

Exactly. I never thought all 4 of those people were the stereotype costumes they hold up, and I don't know anyone who does.

Oh, also no one is ever allowed to wear a kilt, or drink on st patrick's day until they prove their heritage. Also no one is allowed to wear sunglasses because it makes fun of my legitimate disability.

"The realism is a lot better than when I was a kid," Welch said.

That is so not true. They didn't have all of those stupid orange plastic bits on toy guns when I was a kid. I had a plastic BB gun that looked just like a real 9 mm until you got close, and a cap gun that was solid metal.

Toy guns today (with the exception of Airsoft and the like) are much more fake-looking now. I'm not sure if it's more to do with people shooting kids with fake guns, or 7/11s getting held up by people with fake guns.

Sounds like a great night to be a midget criminal with a gun. All the homeowners will be lulled into a false sense of security. Then BAM! Right in the nuts.

Yeap. Last few costumes I've looked into would have been gun optional, but I couldn't any realistic toy guns. Airsoft, paintball, and the like are about the closest available. Everything else is typically some bright green or orange, often done in neon tones.

DavidVincent: Also that suicide bomber in your neighborhood may not be a real muslim

Good thing I'm going as a black asian mexican terrorist this year; that way I'm not singling anyone out. I keed

CSB time: the names in this cool story have been changed to protect the stupid; because, let's face it, none of us were innocent.

Years ago; my friend paul went to a halloween party as a person with special needs. The entire night he pretended that he was special; his girlfriend, carol, said that most of the other girls approached her during the night and told her how kind she was for going out with paul. I'll admit I laughed about it to my self all night; when paul met a guy dressed up as a banana, paul said " HI, mr. banana". I couldn't take it anymore and busted out laughing. Paul asked me what was so funny and I said "you are". I'm pretty sure the only reason I didn't get my butt kicked was that I was with him.

Thus endith the cool story bro

In one case last year, a teen was shot and killed by someone who thought he was carrying a real gun.

If that kid's fake gun had been armed, this never would have happened.

Aren't cops the ones frequently shooting folks who didn't have a gun real or otherwise.

Of course I've never got this idea that brightly coloured guns have to be fake. People know you can paint a gun, right? I mean they don't tend to sell them in neon colours, but there's no law stopping you form painting your own. Here's that amusing pretend-Russian shooting a Remington 887 painted red and blue Link (new window).

Ha! Awesome.

Back when I threw shot put back in high school, one of my teammates would do the same thing when we had an away track meet. The best moment happened when his mom and sister showed up, and he suddenly acted normal...the look on our opponents' faces was priceless.

Remember those bad ass toy guns in the 80salley that had fake wood grain and made by that italian outfit?
