Seems the home of the local crips and bloods gangs has a new "GAME" which the front page of Goldsboro's News Argus proudly states is the Changing the Color of War and with photos shows 5 young adults holding paintball rifles and the news article goes into the commentary regarding 'TEAMS' are forming and challenging other 'TEAMS' from the area and cities at paintball wars. These activities have been going on in 'nearly every area of the city' based on police reports.

Advertised under the concept to have citizens put down their real firearms and take up paintball equipment to have their 'WARS' with.

One out of the blue comment, quote: the public's not going to know if they're fixing to be shot at by somebody with a paintball gun or a real gun! unquote.

Another: A 28 March assault report in Goldsboro involved a woman who was shot several times by paintballs on xyz street. No arrest has been filed in the case reports Maj somebody. unquote.

City's mayor thinks the activity is a good idea to the point he is seeing a 'building' for the battles to be held in!

Story on the entire third page ends with commentary,
It's fun.
It relives a lot of stress.

Finally ~ It's just like an adrenaline rush when you've got someone on the other end of your barrel and you're about to shoot them with a paintball gun but it's not hurting them or killing them.

I am waiting till the thrill of just using paintballs wears off and someone wishes to watch someone actually perish when one of the gang's members decides they are upset from getting beat at the last battle and switches back to live firearms.

another story from the naked city.
