I object 
Just because something is new and different doesn't mean it's bad. Of course dangerous stuff happens, dangerous stuff always happens whenever something new comes. Dangerous things happen all the time, when new things come new dangers come and others disappear. When millions of people participate in the same activity something bad is statistically almost always going to happen, but that doesn't mean that we should ban any new activity that mankind invents. As far as I know all of these incidents are just that, incidents. Yes muggings happen, but you could mug just about any body and walk away with a smartphone, you don't really have to aim at pokemon players in particular have you?

Also what does the idea that 'Japanese devs just don't seem to understand how society works outside their own country' have to do with anything? Firstly Pokémon Go was actually developed by American devs, and secondly whoever came up with the idea actually pretty good at understanding how people work considering the app seems to be doing pretty well.
