I remember the story behind this was that the shooter got dumped or left (or cheated on?) by his woman, so in an act of anger, he picked out a random person to kill and then showed it to his girl. He told the girl that a random person died because of her.

This is one of the bad ones, I always find this one hard to watch. Old guy was just minding his own business, clearly lived a long life because he did his own thing, and some douchebag ends it just like that. I hope everyday for this guy is pain and suffering for the rest of his life.

The murderer killed himself shortly afterwards, before the cops had the chance to arrest him. This is about one of the few times I so hardly wish Hell was real.

By shortly afterwards they mean 2 days, not 2 minutes or something

Personally, at that age, I wouldn't mind going out that way. Beats dying slowly and painfully in a hospital bed. Obviously not condoning the murderers actions.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you're that age, you're going to the store to get some food for dinner and a beer thinking about the game you're going to watch tonight, some guy comes up with a gun, the LAST thing in the world you want is to get shot.

What an absolute piece of scum. I hope he is getting raped on the daily in prison for this if he isn't already dead.

This happened in Cleveland Ohio iirc. The murderer's name was Steve Stephens He was pissed at his mom or gf or something and was posting on fb that if they didn't call him or answer his texts something bad would happen. He then went on fb live and did this. He told the old man to say the woman's name and the old man was like "idk who that is." He then said "she's the reason this is happening to you" the old man then started saying something like "No, you have the wrong person. I don't know who that is" but was cut off as the dude shot him. Of course, people reported him so he went on the run. He eventually went to a McDonalds where the drive-thru employee recognized him and told him to pull around front where they will bring him his food (They were actually calling the cops). He pulled around and once the cops showed up he shot himself.

We all wish he was facing his punishment and serving life behind bars but no, he was a coward and decided to kill himself right before he was caught. Fuck this guy.

edit: Didn't realize there was sound. My quotes may or may not be accurate, but they are the jist (sp?) of what was said. I would listen again but I don't wanna hear the old man's last words again :(

Can confirm the accuracy; live in Cleveland. The McDonald’s employee who recognized him and called 911 was deprived of her reward money bc she didn’t call a specific phone number to report him, she instead called 911. Way to fuck over a woman who did the right thing. Infuriating

fucking coward.

[–]LastKnightShade 8 insightful - 1 fun8 insightful - 0 fun9 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I myself remember this one. Poor old man was in the wrong place at the wrong time. How was he even supposed to defend himself? Shows just how fucked up this world is.

Holy shit, never saw this before.

[–]JusticeLoveMercy 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

At least he didn't shoot an innocent little boy or something. But yeah it's fucked up.

I hate this, this coward attack a vulnerable person, trying to look dangerous and badass killing a man can barwly walk. The dude was so coward he shot himself when he knew he was fucked up, fuck this guy.

Poor old man, he didn't deserve going this way, without reason, without knowing what was going on, at least he lived a long life.

He should have just shot himself first, the narcissistic scumbag fuck.
