I don't blame them, i don't blame them at all! Those c*&t "gamers" should be shipped right away to those other c$%ts of ISIS, no ifs ands or buts!

“This guy didn’t watch his buddies die face down in the muck so these kids could play with Ho Chi Minh’s digital chihuahuas in his park!”
It isn’t his park. And did he do it so he can bully a bunch of people playing a simple mindless game and enjoying the afternoon? Should they clear anything they want to do with this moron?
You shouldn’t go chasing imaginary beings around with your cell phone on the grounds of a War Veterans Memorial.
Simple as that...
It’s NOT a place for games...Especially to us veterans....
He wasn’t showing any respect for that place either. (assuming he really is a vet)
I can understand his anger...
For all we know he was a 60s war protester overcome with guilt about draft dodging. There’s a LOT of VN fakery out there. Its a cottage industry. And usually loudmouth “look at me” types are prime candidates. The list is long...
And peaceful people doing something outside, is fine. Maybe if he acted sober and respectful at the monument, others might notice.
I can see wrong on BOTH sides...Kids (and I mean up into their 20’s) aren’t respectful of very much...To many of us, this ground is very important...
We weren’t treated with any respect when we returned home walking...We sure want those who returned home being carried to have the respect they earned...
I have no problem with the kids playing their little games...Just do it in the appropriate places...
True. But half the parks in the country have war memorials in them. Its unreasonable to expect everyone will walk around quietly and reverently. It ain’t gonna happen, and 45 years later it should be obvious that it won’t. People will laugh, meet there for reasons having nothing to do with the memorial, and might even throw a Frisbee or something. If they do, going off like an idiot is wrong, and it teaches nobody anything.
Climbing on a statue or wall, I get. But kids over in the grass enjoying the day, that’s a bit much. And im still open to the possibility that this guy was merely playing the “role” of a vet. Doubtful that he even was a vet.
No one of the generation has ever been taught this in school, and often not at home. -IF- the guy really was a vet, he needed to show a little respect and just tell those kids what that place means to him.
He might be surprised.
I have never played the game, nor do I entirely understand it, but I think there are things you can put out that attract pokemon. The makers should also create something that will permanently repel pokemon for a 500 yard radius or so, and make them available for free under some restrictions on who can get them (government and non-profits can request and receive appropriate numbers of pokemon repellents). Then drop the necessary number of pokemon repellents in Arlington, other cemeteries, war memorials, and other areas where anyone other than a moron would know not to play the game.
vet missed a teachable moment .
Amen.
I think a bounty should be paid for Pokeman Go players who are shot on sight, as long as they are turned in for recycling.
I have some mental issues now and then but some of the best times times I have had recently is going to the park with my daughter and grand daughter. My daughter, who grew up with the pokeman thing, hunts pokemen while I get to spend some really good quality time with my grand daughter.
BTW, this pokeman thing has turned into a exercise ap (application?). There are a lot of large and out of shape people wondering around the local parks chasing pokemans.
Few of those morons give a crap about other people's privacy or security. All of them irritate the crap out of me.
My daughter is not stupid and neither am I. We only go to public parks. I don’t understand how these people can be so ignorant in regard to not knowing were they are going and what constitute a public area and a private one. But there will always be fools with every fad.
“He might be surprised.”
True. . . only if they stopped and respectfully listened to him.
Only if they listened.
