I see all these stories about people coming together, businesses embracing Pokemon GO.
Then you have the area where I live. Upstate NY. Check out the Louis CK bit about it for a spot on interpretation of the area.
Up here the police have received so many "trespassing" and "suspicious persons" calls that they have released a statement warning players to stay away from parks, museums, libraries, and places of business or they will be arrested. ARRESTED for playing Pokemon GO in PUBLIC PLACES.
People up here are shitty. Most of them are over 40, realize they wasted their lives living in the shithole part of the country and are just bitter towards everyone and anyone. A lot of them just skulk around waiting for someone to have fun and then call the cops on them. We literally had a guy write a letter to the editor saying that he was disappointed because he called the police during a July 4th parade because the firetrucks honked their horns and the police didn't arrest the firefighters. WHAT??
What is even sadder is a library nearby had a horrible act of vandalism occur. Someone took a garden hose and put it in the building's fuel intake pipe and flooded it causing fuel and water to pour out, flooding the grounds and part of the library with fuel. You know who people are blaming on facebook? Muslims? No. ISIS? No. Pokemon GO players, YUP MUST BE THEM.
Long story short, I *** hate people.
