...ah, that would be 'quite' a few individuals or we wouldn't be hearing about the number and details of preventable incidents these knuckleheads perpetrate.

Defend all you care to (who ever you may be) the problems "the few, the proud, the knuckleheads) perpetrate isn't a small number.

And Goosey Goose, I know you're going to ask: What's the number? Here it is: Legion

Yes, a wee bit of my bombast is tongue in cheek.

The majority of the defenders of the Poke people make me chortle, as many of them sounds like 12 year olds whining "MawwwwwwM, I don't get to have any fun." - bottom lip protuding.

However, when you read of Carlsons ugly run in with these cretins and other poke people negative stories, I find the defense of the poke people rather jaundiced...

Gamers who play at home, wonderful!

Drive a car while 'playing' and cause grief for others, you whoever you may be, should be locked up.

Public nuisance or vandalism and yes, even causing death can't be defended with: Hey man, we were only 'playing' and whining, 'sorry man, didn't mean to cause grief' doesn't cut it.

When you cause grief, I don't care to hear you didn't mean to cause any harm.

Lots of criminals will whine after they do something that results in something plain awful or even tragic in their commision of a criminal act, that "hey man, that wasn't suppose to happen" Uh-huh, but it did...and you're responsible.

I wonder what the average age is for the Poke people?

10 to 20 something?

If in their 20's, (or sadly, older) they probably live with their parents, still get around on skateboards (when not borrowing their parents car) and refer to eveyone as 'dude'.

I'm sure they place getting a job far below 'playing' Poke.

carlson1 is right on the money.

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...

Keith B,

Your post: How veddy droll...

Some of you sound defensive.

An entitled attitude of "Hey man, I'm playing Pokemon here, so what if I'm causing you problems" is not OK.

As long as the Poke people stay off my lawn they'll continue to enjoy themselves...
