If you hit them it’s even worse. So, in case you nail a darkie, be sure to pull him into the house, to avoid any further nuisance.

The Fort Worth Police Department in Texas issued a similar warning recently.

"This trend has been reported across the country, including right here in Texas," the Fort Worth PD said. "It is imperative that individuals partaking in this trend understand that even if no burglary or theft occur, this behavior is illegal and considered vandalism and can lead to criminal charges. More critically, it can be mistaken as an attempted break-in, potentially prompting dangerous or defensive responses from homeowners."

The department further urged parents "to speak with their children about the risks and consequences of participating in trends like this," adding that "what may seem like a prank can result in very real trouble and/or danger."

Meanwhile, another trend called "UrbanEx" has made headlines recently for putting participating social media users behind bars. The "challenge" encourages users to explore abandoned buildings, from old schools to churches to abandoned insane asylums to empty retail and entertainment establishments.
