War re-enactment all wet with squirt-guns
Witness Tamara Wexler said when she saw people dressed in the blue and gray uniforms of Civil War-era soldiers on a Boston esplanade, she was instantly intrigued, The Boston Globe reported.
"I was just waiting for them to clash," the 37-year-old said of Saturday's event. "We couldn't leave until we saw it."
Armed with trusty squirt-guns instead of rifles, the two forces eventually clashed for nearly 10 minutes of watery "carnage."
The event was part of a series of public pranks by Banditos Misteriosos, a group of twenty-somethings that has been staging elaborate, yet ridiculous, escapades in Boston since forming last December.
The Globe said the group once staged a pillow fight involving more than 50 people in the middle of downtown Boston.

At least these young folks are putting the fun back in Shakespeare--and pillow fights. I would have definitely stood to watch.
As for other young people in our country, perhaps not finding a good outlet for their energy--such as the Banditos--is what turns them into truants and criminals.
