Pokemon Go player forced to leave church parking lot A Reddit user explained a \u201cscary encounter\u201d they had playing the game on the Pokemon Go subreddit. The OP was participating in a Gengar Raid in a church parking lot until a mysterious man approached them. \u201cHe said that he didn\u2019t recognize me and said that he was armed, and would shoot me if I didn\u2019t leave the property,\u201d they wrote. The trainer revealed that the man wasn\u2019t a police officer or a security guard. \u201cI told him that I was simply playing a game on my phone and he did not care. Without wanting to make the situation worse, I left the parking lot,\u201d the player continued. The authorities have since taken care of the situation and found the man. Another trainer discussed their experience while playing in a church parking lot. \u201cAs I was taking out the gym a cop pulls up along side of me asking if he can help,\u201d the user said. \u201cI say I am just playing Pok\u00e9mon Go, and didn\u2019t want to drive and play, so I parked. He replied, \u2018As long as you aren\u2019t broken down, Go Catch\u2019em All.’\u201d \u201cBusybodies like that are such absolute clowns. Like literally get a life.
