ORBEEZ CHALLENGE: STUPID AND DANGEROUS TIK TOK TREND

There is a lot of stupid shit on TikTok.  However, as far as I can tell, not that much of it is dangerous at both sides of the equation.  This one definitely is.

There is a thing called Orbeez Challenge.  They are some sort of squishy pellet which you are supposed to get some sort of soothing pleasure by laying with.  They are kind of like a soft, squishy paint ball I guess.  However the polymer beads can also be fired from certain types of air guns.  It seems that TikTok idiots are encouraging people to wander about shooting people with these damn things.  Also (like paint balls) sometimes kids freeze the things so when they hit you they hurt.  A lot.  At least one youngster has received some eye damage from being shot directly in the eye by somebody "playing" this stupid game.  This stupidity is now a nationwide trend.  

In one instance several teenagers with dressed in dark clothing and ski masks entered a restaurant with the air guns that had been painted over to look more like real guns and started shooting at patrons.  Fortunately for them nobody had a real gun to shoot back with.  Six of the little idiots are now under arrest.

All over the country a couple of DOZEN young people have been arrested for this idiotic activity.  Some of the charges are felonies.  Some of the targets of this action have been significantly injured.

As far as I know nobody with a real gun has shot back.  Yet.  Possibly because most of the victims of these crimes are children.  But not all.  If this keeps up it will happen.
