I usually like Lester Holt and his news team, but today’s story about Pokemon Go had a statement about how it was dangerous…because some players found a loaded gun while they were playing it:

As if finding the gun had anything to do with the game.
:smack:
Where does it actually assert that?
I found where the video and article actually asserts that it could have been dangerous, were it not that the Pokemon searchers found the gun (i.e. if it had been left there to be found by a child instead) - that’s sort of the opposite of what you said.
Geez, you could find used needles and condoms, empty liquor bottles and all sorts of other (literal) garbage too!
Madness!
It wasn’t in the article I linked to (which was just for reference), it was on the NBC news broadcast last night.
Going outdoors is not safe for kids. Someone think of the children.
It seems that the sole purpose of the news today is to tell you to be afraid. It’s tiresome.
And scary!

On our local news last night, there was a story about a 15 year old girl who walked out into the road and got hit by a car while playing Pokemon Go. Her mother, crying in front of the camera (understandably), sobbed “Parents, don’t let you kids play Pokemon Go. My little girl is in the hospital because of that game”.
Uh, no, your daughter is in the hospital because she lost all sense of reality and walked out in front of a car. Don’t blame the phone game.
The other day on the radio (KMBZ 98.1 in Kansas City, on the Dana & Parks Show), they were talking about the news and how it is always bad. Someone texted the following in to the text line:
