AP story on several different sites.

Lots of links about it here.

My kids and I were walking around downtown yesterday and there were people everywhere walking like zombies playing this game. Grown men. Adults.

It's just a matter of time before someone dies. The lawsuits should be entertaining.

Oh yeah, I also read about a halfway house that rehabs sex offenders (or tries to) in Calif. is a stop on this game. A staff member said "These are sex offenders, we can't have little kids coming around here".

Sounds like a ‘child-ized’ version of Geo-Caching. My thoughts are that it would be for Japanese people OR intended to get kids interested in it. If pedophiles are as clever as some of them are, they’ve probably already picked up on that. Just my thoughts and opinion.

He recalled hearing someone say something to the effect of “did you get anything?” Then he said he stepped in front of the car and said not to move.

The car, he said, accelerated toward him. He fled from the street and shot at the car several times as it sped off.


Someone steps in front of my car and points a gun at me. They’re dead.

Bullet holes in the rear of the car? Doesn’t look good for the shooter.

We were in Washington DC yesterday. We saw a young man riding his bike through DC traffic, no hands glued to his phone, not a care in the world.

Hard time selling that as self-defense or defense of property.

Now Pokeman is the ‘go to’ cover story for house burglars.

Yeah, I’m 74 and had to try it. I was an avid geocacher at one time. This game is going to cause some real problems, with the geocache, you made sure it wasn’t in private or restricted property. This thing seems to have scattered the goals all over the place. It is a lot of fun, but with Pokemons randomly located, even in streets, this is not nearly as safe as Geocaching. As much fun as it is, it is going to cause problems. Too bad.

The country is in the midst of a fad. I hate fads. I never follow the crowd.

Muzzards are killing normal people. Marxists are trying to cause the breakdown of the civil order. Dickchoppers are allowed to go in ladies’ bathrooms.

Millions of Americans have temporarily pulled their heads out of their a$$es and have their faces buried in their smartphones, chasing imaginary animals.

Gonna be a fun Summer.

This “game” provides perfect cover for terrorists and others who want to case out areas - let it go long enough and it will desensitize folks against strangers loitering and acting strange...

This game’s intention is to promote Marxism to the Millenial population. The game developers are deliberately restricting the best and rarest Pokemon to private property, and Millenials are demanding the government allow them unfettered access to these strong/rare Pokemon.

Pokemon has always been a fundamentally Leftist series: from its attempts to ingrain Darwinism as fundamental to life, to their pandering to the SJW crowd by changing a Pokemon (Jynx) which lunatics decried as racist, to the transgender pandering (such as allowing a Pokemon called “Mr. Mime” to have a 50/50 male/female ratio), the series’ attempts to indoctrinate Millenials threaten moral people everywhere.

I must be getting old. I consider myself to be tech-savvy and generally I have the latest and greatest in technology. But I can't make heads or tails out of this Pokemon Go game. Out of curiosity I researched it on the Web and then tried to get my son to explain it to me. Something about seeing various pokemons on your app as you navigate the real word and then flicking "pokemon balls" at them to capture them and then elevating their CP percentage (combat power) by using candies and stardust. It seems way too childish for anybody over 14. Yet walking Brooklyn Bridge Park the other day with my son, we saw a large number of adults obviously playing this game.

During my research online, I saw that Pokemon Go has replaced Candy Crush as the most popular thing to do with your cellphone. Never played that either but I see many people playing it on the train during my commute. Mostly women but some men too. It looks a bit odd to see a grown man play Candy Crush with all those girly colors on the screen.

My favorite app is Kindle. I'm finally making a dent in my reading list as I can now take my books anywhere.

Oh, no, officer, sir. I wasn’t breaking in to that house. I was, uh, playing pokemon.

Too bad that homeowner is going to end up in jail over this.
