Over the past decade or so, the rise of video-based social media platforms like Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok and the ubiquitous nature of smartphones have led to an explosion in idiotic and dangerous stunts, from the “knockout games” reported by the media in 2013 to the more recent “blackout challenge” that has led to at least one death this year.
Now, police in the small North Carolina town of Roxboro are warning teens not to indulge in the latest bit of online stupidity- the “gun prank war“.
The Roxboro Police Department responded to several reports of people pointing what look like real guns at drivers and other people as part of a “gun prank war,” according to a post on the department’s Facebook page. The warning has been shared over 900 times since it was posted just before 7 p.m. on Monday.
