Don't hate me for thinking like this, but don't you think...

...at some point someone will plan a bomb attack near a big crowd who just play Pokemon Go?
After so many unfortunate terrorist attacks I see for many days in news, I can help to have this kind of fear we will reach in this kind of point...

 

[Silentpony_v1legacy]

Yeah, probably. Or simply threaten to, 'cause terrorism doesn't actually have to kill anyone to be effective. Just has to scare people.

 

[tippy2k2]

That doesn't make any sense...

If they are looking for maximum damage (either actual damage like kills and/or destruction or fear damage), there are far easier ways to blow up a ton of people than lure a small group of people playing a video game to a specific spot.

Parade routes, sporting events (outside the stadium before you hit security), marathons, subways, buses, etc; the list is endless where you can bomb a large group of people with either no or minimal security (Oh, hi there FBI Watch list! It's been a while since I said something that got me on you).

I don't hate you for this, but I'm baffled by it.

Well there is a news about a shooting cos of the app

Likewise with the OP, this doesn't suprised me due to the recent shooting over at the U.S.

Aren't there lower hanging fruits? Homeless shelters, orphanages, elementary schools...

That URL is misleading. He didn't actually hit anybody.

It is daily mail, what did you expect? News with facts?

Fair point. They ought to make their slogan "At least we're not the Sun."

Well no, because they seem to be doing damage to themselves without anybody else's effort.[footnote]Don't hate ME for thinking this way.[/footnote]

I think the pokemon Go players are doing a good job killing themselves as it is.

Damn, beat me to it.

Hey that's a pretty good idea, I'mma try it next time I don't know what to think, since I'm not a terrorist.

Jokes aside (yes, that was a joke NSA guy, now stop holding your dick), if terrorism doesn't turn the millenial generation into an Orwellian nightmare then Pokemon Go will probably just destroy them by simple addiction. But hey, maybe all you need is just the one terrorist attack and all the Poketards will flock to the military and intelligence agencies because the attack stopped them from capturing a, fuckin, I dunno, shiny cockon or something.

Bomb? Probably not. Shooting? Yeah, I could see that happening. It might not even be a terrorist type deal, just a GO fan getting upset with another because someone "stole" a Pokemon from them.

This makes me think you don't have the app. You can't "steal" anything from anyone in this game. 50 people can get the same pokemon in the same place if they're all there at the same time.
