Sycokillah, kids never played with lighters or matches where you grew up? When I was 12 I had a jet lighter that my friend gave me. I lived in a decent neighbourhood and I was a good kid, generally, and didn't get up to anything worse than low level mischief (making small campfires in the woods, etc.). I didn't smoke, although where I live 12-13 is the first year of high school (no middle school), so there was no shortage of people in my year who had started to smoke because they thought it made them look grown up, sophisticated or tough.

I agree with you, though, that there's lots of other silly things in this story. The whole guns thing is so over the top and ridiculous. I know there are occasional school shootings and stuff involving kids, but those are horriffic, exceptional situations, and this pasta treats it like it's completely routine for twelve year old bullies to be packing heat. Also the newspaper article is really bad and totally misses the writing style of real news (letting quotations run on for ages, overusing/misusing "ominous", etc.). The part where the cops are like " Well, Liu, it's off to juvenile detention with you, for one year" is hilarious; they just look at each other and come up with a punishment on the spot, no judges or courts or anything. Why are they, like Judge Dredd? :P
