NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Four people have been arrested after allegedly robbing two people who were playing Pokemon Go on the steps of a church.

I kind of expect people to get killed playing this game sooner or later.

No need to ask the question I guess.

Come on. Can’t white people commit some criminal activity once in a while? I really wish there were more diversity among violent criminals. Sincerely. I hate that I’m finding myself increasingly wary of a particular sub-culture in America ...

Do white hispanics count? ;)

Odds are your local downtown is filled with players - sitting on the steps at midnight, well, that’s asking for trouble no matter what you’re doing (though obviously sitting there with a $100+ street value cell phone would be top of the list of things maybe not to do.)

So why didn’t they just throw poke´ balls at them and make them disappear?

The thing about cell phones — they all pretty much come with GPSes ... so if someone steals one, the owner can identify exactly where it is. If someone steals my iPhone, I can track it down through iCloud.com

A friend, who was ordained as a Catholic priest last month, told me a number of folks are turning up in his parish parking lot.

He’s using it as a chance to evangelize.

A crazy world we live in....

You're expecting that a) police will actually bother to go to the location indicated, b) that the thugs won't figure out ‘hey, I should turn this sucker off until I get it out of my hands’, and c) that it isn't sold before you get to a place where you can locate it via iCloud.

A few times, people have stolen laptops and cell phones in my local area and when police showed up, it was to find their new ‘owners’ who had just paid cash for them from someone else.
