My question is: why are they so cagey about saying what they found? Sounds to me like they found the kid plays WoW (or something like it) and Air Soft. If that was the case, why don't they come out and just say so? The only reason I can think of is it wouldn't sound as dangerous.


I guess I should throw in a token "Don't blame the game" Reddit link (By the way, I'm not saying I lean either way on that one.)
