CHESAPEAKE, Va. - Protests, a Facebook page, and now a petition: it is the latest in a string of campaigns all demanding justice in the shooting death of 60-year-old Jiansheng Chen of Chesapeake.
Grandpa Chen – as he has come to be known on the Internet – was allegedly shot and killed by a River Walk neighborhood security guard last month.
The guard says he was acting in self-defense, and that Chen tried to run him over. Chen’s family says their grandfather was playing Pokémon Go, and spoke little English.
“A 60-year-old man who was sitting in the car playing Pokemon can get shot five times. Is that crazy?” said Harry Zhang, a local professor and president of Eastern Virginia chapter of the Organization of Chinese Americans. “If I walk a dog at night, will I get shot? If I go jogging with my wife, will I get shot?”

vs.A 60-year-old man who was sitting in the car playing Pokemon
So, was he driving or just sitting there? If the car was parked there was no reason to shoot him. If, on the other hand, he was trying to drive and was out of control then maybe shooting was the only way to save the security guard's other others' lives.
I’ve read this story three times and I still can’t figure out what the hell is going on.
Well, were he and the security guard going after the same Pokemaon?
““If I walk a dog at night, will I get shot?”
Drama queen alert.
Grandpa Chen felt guilty about something he was doing, apparently.
Off-duty policeman?
Barney Fife had a gun. 60 year old asian man was in his car. Old man was probably asked for ID and proceeded to not comply and attempted to drive off. Barney Fife shoots old man driving off just like real cops do.
If you haven’t realized by now, cops don’t confess up to accidental and unjustified shootings. They just say they were ‘in fear’ for their lives.
60 year olds who play Pokemon should be shot.
I’m just saying. . .
“I felt threatened” are the magic words with which police officers can get away with almost anything.
I don’t know why but that pic is hilarious!
A Game Boy Advance? That picture must be ancient.
I have other memes.
If you ask, I will show you them.
well played
