Gist of this article is, if people not familiar with this game. You are suppose to walk around and hunt for virtual animals, and catch them, using a gps map base on real life locations.

So they are saying, just even having a black man walking round and round in circles hunting for this virtual animal will get him shot.

Is this really true?

Already one teenager went to break into a house to catch his virtual pokemon and got shot from the old lady inside mistaking him as a malicious break in.

I was just thinking that regardless of race, if a chinese person is like walking around my home vicinity suspiciously up and down. I would observe and suspect the person of something fishy too. It doesn't take race.

I reckon if a white person is doing the exact same thing in the US, breaking into people's houses, tresspassing their front lawn, or loitering around their vicinity, in circles, they would be suspects of criminal intent too. If it was at night, worst, white or black, they'll probably get shot.

I think this article is being completely again unfair. This dude conclusion is, white people can play this game safely and black people can't.

The guy is a complete idiot.

I can't imagine the 'usual suspects' sources you used to find your way to that article, or that sort of thing in general, but I doubt seriously if more than 20 people in the entire US would ever come across that item in the normal course of events.

But this being brought to our attention by a rabid Trump supporter, it could only be considered as a situation of 'like seeking like.'

Who reads that crap?

Their online front page looks like it's put together by someone on three different drugs at once.

In any case I looked at their site and didn't see the article you were talking about, though your link certainly was from the site. Who cares how 'super left' they are by your estimation? They had three other articles about whatever pokemon game that is, which is stupid enough as it is, but everyone of them only pointed out what idiots there are in the US. One of them fell into a pond, looking for whatever it is they've got the worst idiot adults in the country looking for.

So why are you reading such a 'super left' publication anyway? I read most any super left or super right thing I could get ahold of in my early twenties, just to get a sample. It only took two or three samples each to get the gist of it. I can't imagine any mature thinking still reading any of that crap well into adulthood, though you certainly are not alone in that regard.

At the end of the day, though, all it's about for you and too many others is the soap opera "World Wide Wrestling' approach to politics.

It's like saying a teddy bear is a T. rex.

Can anyone say PARANOID.

Not so benign. People aren't being exactly paranoid.

I always read super left and super right stuffs, so I get both sides point of view and then decide who I agree or disagree with.

That's how I read news.

You never know what the real facts is, you can only rely on whatever the media reports, and try to read all the different angles of the same news.

There are already documented cases of people using this to target victims for mugging and one person who got hit by a semi. This game is dangerous for everyone.

Honey....everything is, in some fashion, bad for blacks.

Everything is generationally skewed to fuck them over, and....it's someone else's fault.

Jews don't feel this way.

Asians don't feel this way.

Norwegians don't accept this.

If the newspaper reads left to right....it's a conspiracy against them in some fashion.

Oddly enough....what I've found (hiring over 38 years every color / every race)...those that work hard....in my organizations and in others I know....do well.

Those that don't...........

Don't.

That simple.

I would have the cops there if a bunch of people started congregating on my property regardless of their race.

I think it's more like how they dress.
If they were geeky white kids, asian kids or black kids. Dressing nerdy. Then they look less threatening.

But you can have like yakuza, white biker gangs or whatever black gangsta looks like.

Then I'd freak!

Status: offline 		I guess it's not so benign when people are walking into semi's. I think I would have an alert go off " I am on an interstate... Big truck...walking on interstate bad. Lol. People stupid.
Tripping I could see.
Wow never thought about molesters and robbers. People bad, very very bad. Game good.
Anyway we solved the problem when my son plays I take a double barrel shot gun with me.
Looks like it's best to play in a more rural area and have thick nerd glasses on.

P.s. If I saw a kid in my front yard walking around like a robot with a cell phone, I would be amused.
