Did you catch peekachoo?

According to the article, they sped towards him, and once he moved out of their path, he began firing shots. At that point, they are fleeing, and there is no threat, he was no longer in their path. It was at best a retaliation shot, which I do not think the law covers.



Considering no crime was committed, escaping someone wielding a gun is not a crime, and they weren't on his property, you'd have a decent claim for charging him with illegally detaining them

making noise outside at 1:30 at night, they admit they were saying did you get it? As long as he had a permit for the gun he had reasonable reason to detain and make a citizens arrest. Once they tried to run him over they committed a crime and he had a right to use the stand your ground law and defend himself.

And in that situation you would deserve to be shot at then.

and it this were a robber wanting to steal your car, are you going to wait for him to get closer to find out?

both sides are stupid. if i parked in front of someones house at 1:30am i'd have to think i'm being stupid.
if i'm in my house and someone is outside at 1:30am making noises, i'd call 911 and have the police look.

i'd get my gun and stay inside however.

as for the "let people enjoy this" - who's stopping them? HOWEVER - if people enjoy making fun of people following whatever the latest fad is, hush up and let them enjoy that, right?

No, he did not have a reasonable reason to detain anyone. Did you get any, Did you catch any, or what ever they said is irrelevant when they weren't on his property. Even the article doesn't mention them being particularly close to his car. So even with the benefit of hindsight, which says they were playing a game, they easily could have been talking about something that fell out the window while they were driving. Nothing this man did was reasonable.

Uh, yes? How do you know the guy is a robber before he does anything?

I was unaware that having a gun permit is what gives you the power to make a citizens arrest.

Funny that along with the power to arrest people, they don't also teach you to stay in your damn house if you thing there are two robbers outside and call the police.

what the hell you talking about?

my point of view in this one is from the people in the car. even if i'm in front of someone's house at 2am and a dude in boxers comes out waving a gun, i'm not going to roll down my window and go "can i help you"?

first - i'd not be there at 2am. some things are just inherently stupid and this makes the list, pokemon or not. 2nd thing that would make the list is asking someone waving around a gun at 2am what they want.

Reports in Bosnia say some players have been wandering into uncleared minefields.

There's a Pokestop outside our house so we tried our hand at Oreo cheesecake Pokeballs to hand out to hungry trainers today. (Edible sugar sheet topping but also easily peeled away) x-post from r/pokemongo

fwiw, I doubt they were out at 2am just to catch pokemon. they were likely headed home, and happened to see one and just had to have it. Still dumb though

My money is they went out near that time just for it. I walk the dogs every night around 1am and I see no less than 6 people walking around looking. Most are just leaving their homes at that time.

Two nights ago, two older Pakistani guys(neighbors) told me they had a lead on one and were out to get it

it would appear someone disagrees with you.

not on the dumb part.

yea, some people just want an excuse to shoot kids not on their property who are minding their business, just because they disapprove of a game they are playing

meh...different strokes for different folks

The guy didn't shoot at them until they tried to run him over. He didn't break any laws, they did.
