Innocent prank

To the editor:

In this day and age of school shootings, illegal drug problems and sex offenders prowling our school playgrounds, surely an innocent school prank can be laughed at. Does spray-painting a chicken green really call for a police investigation? I, for one, would rather see the police fighting crime, not fighting pranks. This was an innocent joke – nothing more. Smile and laugh.
