I've heard descriptions of stupid people, "Sometimes the gene pool needs a little chlorine."
Looks like with these new phone games, the gene pool has learned how to self-chlorinate.
Natural selection at it's finest.
I don't mind the natural selection so much. But, it tends to be a messy affair when involving moving vehicles.
There is a dark side to that kind of selection too.
When a driver hits a person on foot or bicycle, it often does not end with the immediate mess. There also are law suits and maybe even trials for injuring or killing a person. Most people suffer from such an event even when they could not have avoided it.
I am not so fond of natural selection when it involves people other than the ones not selected.
I would really appreciate when law enforcement gives those Pokemon players an appropriate lesson about negligence. In Germany that might earn a person suspension or loss of the driver license.
