How so? I do not play the game. However, I am not going to say no one should be allowed to play the game just because some can't do so responsibly. That is literally the same logic anti-gunners try using against us.

I don't think anyone here was advocating that it is acceptable to play a game and drive at the same time.

Every day in DFW I see vehicles narrowly missing hitting or being hit by someone staring at their phones. I see vehicles flying through traffic, changing lanes continuously, without regards to whether or not the drivers around them are paying attention to their surroundings. Vehicles constantly are braking sharply behind me and stopping just short of impact, often in the rear view mirror they are either staring at their phone or talking on it.

I agree, but this has been observable long before the game came out. I have noticed little to no change since its release.

Were such criminal acts perpetrated by the Poke people rare then I doubt anyone would complain. The fact is their criminal acts are rampant.

Acting like 12 year old tantrum throwing entitled children when they perform acts of criminality in pursuit of their goals isn't a group playing a harmless game. It's a group of inconsiderate buffoons who care not what harm they perpetrate. Then to make matters worse, as so-called adults, they whine "but we're just playing". This pathetic excuse won't stand up in court...

Let me fix that for you. "Were such criminal acts perpetrated by the gun people rare then I doubt anyone would complain. The fact is their criminal acts are rampant." Sounds familiar, doesn't it?

The truth is, this thread is the only place I hear about negative Pokemon experiences. Do they happen? Absolutely. Is it anywhere near the epidemic some of you make it out to be? I highly doubt it. But hey, lets restrict everyone's ability to do an otherwise legal activity just because a small minority might break the law. Maybe Shannon Watts can help you guys form a new group. You can call it "Cranky Men Demand Action for Pokemon Sense in America".
