Straight-edge ninjas fight drugs in NJ (and get arrested).


Who says nothing cool ever happens in New Jersey? These two awesome dweebs dressed as ninjas, sported nunchuks, throwning stars, and smoke bombs (!), and wrote threatening letters...
...to those who ignored their warnings and continued to smoke pot or, worse yet, persuaded others to try the drug.

They planned to drop the letters at the doors of friends, including one they accused of supplying the drugs to others. As assurance against counterattacks, they brought along homemade smoke bombs they'd concocted from instructions on YouTube.

But the art of the ninja, based on stealth and cunning, failed them.

At their first stop, the modern-day vigilantes delivered their fearful missives under the watchful eye of two Clifton patrolmen who happened to be standing in the shadows.

I love this part.
The letters stated "Shinobi will stop your cruel and sadistic intentions with justified, yet merciful force." The correspondence accused pot smokers and drug dealers of having "committed sin of passing impurity" to others. It also said the "wind guides us to those of impure heart and intent."
I want to bail these kids out and hang out with them.
