I call BS on the original article. The wife and I went to a local bar to see our friends band play and there were blacks, whites, asians, and mexicans playing pokemon go. There were no problems and no one was threatening any of them in the streets of downtown knoxvegas. We have seen groups of kids walk past our house (all genders and colors) on thier way to the pokemon gym that is 3 blocks away. There is a warning though, keep your eye on your surroundings so you dont walk into people or traffic.

Nevermind that no one has ever died while playing Pokemon Go. Playing it is a literal Death Sentence!
But someone has found a dead body! http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/3675785...-wyoming-river-while-searching-for-a-pokestop
