It may be a "game" to some to others it is "criminal." Property owners have no control over their property being made targets. It boils down to an immature generation that have no control. They have taken their adolescent activities on to others private property.goose wrote:Again, are we, the 2A crowd really going to be throwing stones at an activity that has an occasional bad apple? Really? The 2A would be gone by lunch tomorrow if out of millions of users we only had to focus on a few folks that are probably idiots no matter what activity they take up. As posted further up in the thread a gun owner killed a Pokemon Go player. Compared to a fence, that isn't even close. I guess we should also leave those innocent gun owners alone too. They're just having fun.carlson1 wrote:I have read on this thread how all of this is just a group of innocent folks playing a game and we shouldn't complain. A group of the babies "playing the game" (about 12 suspects) plowed down a fence at the Roseland Cemetary in Tyler and drove inside. Tyler PD responded with a tactical team ($$$$) and the it is my understanding that the fence they destroyed was $6200.00 to replace. I know just leave them alone they are innocent folks just having fun.
Angry about a fence and the desecration of a cemetery, 100% valid. Throwing an entire group of folks under the bus for the actions of a few? Seems like a tactic I've seen used a lot by the other side. Prior to this thread I would have hoped that we collectively would have been above that. But alas, it seems to keep coming up.
There is nothing else to be said because it is obvious there are a few (who have never grown up) who just do not respect property, property rights, and in many cases life. It is all about an imaginary character.
There is a way to have your property removed from the game as many have done so I'm my area. We have them coming into our campus late at night playing Pokemon and have yet to encounter a problem. Stop painting everyone playing a game with a negative brush. The actions of a few don't speak for the majority.
