That video of a man being shot and dying bleeps out fuck in the subtitles.
What the fuck

Tragic that the man lost his life, rip. But it stands to reason that the more folks stream themselves, the more things not usually caught on camera, will be caught on camera. Pretty straightforward. I mean, what's the message here?

This is the second such video in about a month.

It never ceases to amaze me just how fleeting life is. One second this guy is walking around, and then gone, erased from existence in an instant. Man..

I can't believe anyone willingly lives in the South Side of Chicago. Seems like everyday people are getting gunned down. I know you can argue that there is no escape, but a Greyhound ticket to I dunno Cleveland can't be more than 50 bucks, and I imagine the employment rates in both cities are comparable.
Tragic video that puts a face on an epidemic.

The problem isn't the broadcasting, the problem is the gun violence and senseless killing. Rest in peace, Antonio Perkins, and condolences to those you left behind. I hope this tragedy may at least serve to raise awareness of the problem and to stir politicians to take action, or at least not stand in the way.
I don't think I can watch the video myself, but just imagining its contents is horrible enough. We can't continue like this.

Yeah, I clicked on this and then was like "What? A DIFFERENT livestreaming murder?"
I think the bubble burst.

If only they pooled their vast wealth in order to move to a new city and hope for a job.

Thanks for catching. I feel so stupid now. I edited my post to reflect the true name of the victim. I'm truly sorry for the mistake.
Deserved. I edited it.
No problem, knew your heart was in the right place, just wanted to point it out so you can get it fixed

I just checked, one way from Chicago to Cleveland for as low as $27 on greyhound.com.

They don't call it Chiraq for nothing. Breaks my heart to see how commonplace this type of thing is out there. Rest in peace.
For poor people, moving is very difficult. They need to have money for a deposit, assuming they can pass the credit check to live in a place. Greyhound isn't gonna let them bring all their furniture and shit on the bus.
Life isn't this simple, dude.

And they live at the bus station until they find gainful employment, or...

Was that the one her ex husband shoots her to death while filming? I think I saw it ok faces of death.
Are you 12? Do you know how much it costs to move?

And live where? And pray for decent paying work? What about your family, friends, other non-wanting-to shoot-you community members etc?
I hear ya, it's not impossible, but c'mon. Anyway, if someone really wanted to 'escape', they could do that while still staying local to Chicago. The majority of the city is not a 'warzone'.

I can't imagine how it must feel to have your loved one's death go viral.

Nah, this one happened about a year ago. Former employee of the station tracked them down during a broadcast and killed them both live on the air.

I moved everything I could stuff into 2 bags via the Greyhound when I was 19. I didn't have a lot of money and lived out of a cheap 'rent by the week' motel until I got situated.
I'm not saying it's ideal, but hell I'd rather take my chances finding work in a new city then risk getting gunned down standing on what looks like the sidewalk in daylight.
*edit* I'm not trying to change the direction of this thread, RIP to the victim and I hope Chicago gets its shit together.

Chicago is like the Wild West these days
am I the only one who thinks who ever that shot him, was helped by the live stream of knowing where he was at?
either the killer was following the stream or one of Perkins' "friends" on Facebook gave the shooter a heads up about where Perkins was at?
edit- by the way I haven't watched the Video so I might be missing something, I just choose not watch these things.

No, in Chubbuck's case, she committed suicide (shot herself in the head) live on air and in studio

The video doesn't show anything graphic, it's more hearing the gunshots and subsequent screams as the phone is dropped, and knowing from the article what the end result was.
If the stream in the vid was the full length though, not likely someone was tracking him that way, as is was just a couple seconds into the vid that the shots rang out.

Death and Violence are okay but God help you if the Children hear the word fuck....
I was thinking this but I didn't have the heart to watch to see if it was a different one.
Can't believe it was Chicago again...
Horrifying stuff. Wish we even knew how to approach the whole situation...

Dude was a gang banger, and heroin manufacturer (odd the story left that out, unless I missed it). Probably had everything to do with the attack.

Don't often ask this, but are you white? It wouldn't go so smoothly for POCs.
I hate the implication that problems like this are simple enough that everyone knows the solution and simply refuses to address it.
I imagine it was left out because they didn't* want to imply that he deserved to die...

The second link contradicts your post, family and friends are claiming he was on the right path (of course they would, but still). Not that it matters anyway as guy is dead now, but seemed he did his time in jail, had a job. He certainly did not deserve to die in the street in front of his kids regardless.
That and most pay by the week hotels here in Phoenix would end up costing you $1000 per month. Might have been viable years ago, and maybe other cities have cheaper places.
Most apartments around here require first month and security deposit and sometimes last month as well running about $1000 just to move in if not more.

Cops say otherwise, first link says otherwise. Often criminals deceive their friends and family, or friends and family will deny what a person does. Either way, even if he was "done with that life" doesn't mean it was done with him. And that kind of life, isn't one you just leave anyway.
Addressing it doesn't imply he deserved to die, It gives context
Great.
A man was still gunned down on camera in Chicago. Not sure where you are going with this?
Was there an implied agenda with this topic?

Most of those hotel's are havens for low lives as well. Not exactly a huge step up unless you get lucky.
Also what did the dude above mix up with?
Yeah. This happened in our city (Roanoke, Virginia) and its pretty devastating loss.
What's messed up is that they were somewhat fresh faces at the station and this asshole that gunned them down was just taking revenge out on the loss of his job with the station. Its a disgruntled employee situation taken extreme. :\- Status
