Not Comics: Pair Arrested At Pokemon World Championships

Brigid Alverson has a thorough report over at Robot 6 and a pair of men arrested at the Pokemon World Championships in Boston with a shotgun, an assaul rifle, tons of ammo for both guns and a hunting knife. The two men were turned in by those who caught them blithely talking about being some sort of threat to the show.

While it's unknown what if anything the pair had planned for the weekend event, it certainly run a chill up the spine of frequent con-goers and festival attendees, for whom this kind of scenario taken to fruition has always lurked as a possibility at some point. Let's hope that gets pushed back all the way to never. This is also a fine time to remind that aberrant on-line behavior can have a real-world counterpart, so if you're made uncomfortable by something it's usually good to report it.
