I blame the wii zapper, heres the story

While not directly related to the Pokemon series of games, the spin-off CCG (collectible card game) that was a result of them is in the news right now. At least, in Redwood City, California, where some of the cards were the motive behind a 10-year-old boy's assault on a classmate.

The 10-year-old in question brought in an Airsoft gun (we had to look it up on Wikipedia) from home into Roosevelt Elementary School, drawing it on a younger classmate and demanding the cards. The child whom the cards belonged to was only 6 years old.

As of right now, the child who brought the Airsoft gun in is currently being held in juvenile detention. School officials have him on suspension and are considering expulsion.

Now, it would be different if it was Yu-Gi-Oh! cards

Sorry, I shouldn't be making jokes. That's terrible.

Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?
