'Pokemon Go': Cemetery Warns ... Let Rosa Parks and Others Rest in Pe

Publish date: 2024-09-20

Rosa Parks has a God-given right to rest in peace ... but go tell that to "Pokemon Go" gamers.

The company that owns the Detroit cemetery where the civil rights icon is buried has had it with groups of players looking to do battle on their sacred ground. Midwest Memorial Group, which owns 28 cemeteries including Woodlawn Cemetery where Parks' gravestone prominently lies, has issued a warning.

It's become all the more disruptive because the players have invaded the grounds during funeral services. And we're told this is happening at numerous cemeteries around the country.

"Pokemon Go" ... the craze is enough to wake up the dead.
