Not everyone is excited about the new Pokemon Go game, and one Vietnam Veteran expressed his disapproval recently and the entire incident was caught on video and has actually resulted in the man receiving a citation. The entire event took place at the Veterans park in Minnesota were the incident was caught on video, leading to a citation — but also leading officials Monday to consider banning games from the park entirely.
Excerpt From Fox News:
Bruce Reed Jr. of Winona was cited for fourth-degree criminal damage to property and disorderly conduct, both misdemeanors, the Winona Daily News reported. Reed was seen telling players Veterans Memorial Park was “not a f—— campground.” The video Thursday showed him knocking over a portable picnic awning that was set up not far from war monuments. At one point, he appeared to knock the camera from the hands of the person recording. Reed told The Associated Press he was having a “flashback” to Vietnam during the confrontation.
Im behind him 100%. The younger crowd these days are so disrespectful and full of themselves!! They don’t care about nothing but themselves and their stupid games. There is so much more to worry about in this world that finding stupid pokeman that are not real. This generation is so dumbed down its not even funny.. and they do not see it at all!
I can see where this vet might be coming from also. I would imagine as it being a memorial park, people would come there to reflect and would like to do it in relative peace without the distraction of people turning it into a campground, a frisbee competition location, or a dog run for their pets. It is true that a lot of people just do not give a damn anymore. It is all about me,me,me. And if you don’t like it, take a trip to -explicative- ?! city.
A sorry state of affairs.
He was right for kicking them out. What he should’ve done was handling it in a different way. Protest and petition to the city rather than viscously confronted them.
