I've heard of "riot control" paintballs, filled with OC and CS.

Might need LEO credentials to get 'em. Might not.

Jus' sayin' ...

Darn, there is a yellowing patch right were they are standing. Film it and post it on facebook. Funny to watch people scatter as they try to protect their $500 smartphones from the spray.

Are criminals casing properties and if caught, saying they are looking for Pokey?

I only just learned about this stupid-ass thing last month. Now not a day goes by without Pokemon (which I thought was bad enough in the old days) in the NEWS.

The other week I took my son and a local friend to a small battlefield/fort park. To my dismay tons of “teens” were there, sitting on their asses looking at phones hogging the memorial, and generally roaming around looking at phones. Not absorbing the history, not appreciating the bloodshed around them, just looking at phones (together!).

My friend mentioned they were probably looking for Pokemon garbage. Uuuugggh!

How else is the NSA going to get video intel of your property and inside your windows if they don’t put a Poke’stop there?

Time to break out the fire hose ... hook the big hose to a pool pump and blow the trespassers away, wet as can be.

That’d be a long hose, but yes!

I grew up in St. Clair Shores but I don’t think that particular park existed when I lived there.

It’s named after a former mayor. 1980’s I think.

The location is very nice and pretty public, but if the Pokémon stop is on their private property, I’d think they would have a case.

Pyracantha is the very best thing to plant outside windows and as hedges. Tough stems and extremely sharp inch-long thorns. Nobody tries twice to get through it.

Yup, we used to have a hedge of it at our last house. It is called firethorn for a very good reason. Cheap burglary deterrent.

And people wonder why I plant thorny bushes around my property.

:pause:

Because I love roses of course! Especially the kind with really long heavy thorns.

My BBB grand-daughter (19 y.o.) is using Pokemon Go to get a “work-out”. She thinks she’ll lose weight. Go figure.
