Pokemon Go Player Shoots Would Be Robber

Surprised that the DNC hasn't brought this guy up on stage and to show how we need more gun control.
There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Bacon is the candy bar of meats!

Only the dead have seen the end of war!

Guess the shooter really did have a pocket monster.

It's funny.  I went grocery shopping about 8 this AM and the supermarket had about 5 people wandering around the store with no shopping carts or baskets, staring at their phones.  I asked one of them if there was a pokemon thing in the store and he said no, he was just texting.

Asked the checkout clerk if there was a pokemon monster in the store because I had seen all these people like that.

He pointed at the cashier in the next checkout line and said, "Yeah, him."  The other guy heard that and we all laughed.

Can anyone tell if there's a pokeymon monster at the King Soopers at 5301 W 38th Ave and Sheridan Blvd in Wheat Ridge, CO?

Sure was weird.  I frequent that store a lot 'cause it's on my way to my post office box in Denver and I never saw that many (or any) people wandering around with no carts or shopping baskets, married to their phones.  One of them was oscillating back and forth between two aisles in the drug department, intent on his phone, without looking much at the merchandise, while I was choosing toothpaste.  I thought maybe he was a competitor's price-checker or doing inventory or something, but the rest of his behavior didn't conform to that idea.

I suppose they could have been checking their shopping lists on their phones, but with no basket or cart?
