Teen Playing “Pokemon Go” Stabbed And Mugged For His IPhone; In Bad Neighborhood

http://www.cartelpress.com/teen-playing-pokemon-go-stabbed-mugged-iphone/

"CHICAGO – 17 Year-old Marcus Jackson was stabbed and mugged for his iPhone after allegedly playing “Pokemon Go” a new app released by the franchise on July 6.

Police say Jackson was just walking around playing “Pokemon Go” and didn’t realize he had stepped into what is know as a bad neighborhood. A local store owner said he saw Marcus Jackson was stabbed and his belongings stolen right after recording the incident he immediately called the Chicago police department."

I read that every time you open the App there's a warning stating to pay attention where you go when using the App.
Also given this is Ingress but with Pokémon the rise in such events should have already happened with that game, wouldn't it ?

I've actually never heard of Ingress before. I'm sure a lot of people have no clue about that game either. Pokémon has that brand name power though.

So what I'm seeing is people might be getting beat up at Gym locations and phones stolen so they can't take control of the Gym 🤕

What? Are you saying I simply can't battle them to a Pokemon battle so I can't take their money instead??

According to my Phone Ingress currently has more than 10M downloads, certainly Pokémon has the potential to reach 100M+ but still if there weren't any cases before there won't be many with Pokémon GO...

eh, delete this



You can break into someones house and just say you were trying to catch a pokemon that was inside



Easy. Get into a Pokemon battle with the gangsters.

Just hope they don't enter the battle themselves and knock you out :^)

If you live close enough to a bad neighborhood to the point where you can just walk there, then you were already in danger.

The only thing he could remember when he woke up in the hospital was that the thug boss was a big man with a very big, shiny chin and after stabbing him he mocked him with the phrase "What's wrong with you?"
