Whaaaaaaaat?
This whole story is senseless. They literally posed for a photo and then shot him? While being live streamed???? FOR NO REASON?!?!?

Glad to hear he's ~~alright~~ not dead and recovering. But, what?!?

Dude was remarkably composed when calling 911.

That's unbelievable! So glad he survived and that they were caught.

What the hell is wrong with some people!

Don't understand why this happened. It obviously was not a robbery and the photographer cooperated.

I live in a small community in Wisconsin, and even here we even have drugs and gangs. Where is it safe anymore - Canada?

Iceland and Monaco are the safest places, generally speaking.

Based on the fact that they were using racial slurs, it sounds to me like he was shot for being black instead of shot for being a photographer.

I think I'm in agreement, but this thread will get locked if we talk about violence. It's touches on politics which is a forbidden discussion topic.

Senseless behavior does happen everywhere, but the consequences are higher in the USA than in most comparable "first world" nations.

If we keep going down this path, thread bans, infractions and thread closure will follow. Let's not make it about America.

Yes it does. This, coming from a Finn transplanted to the USA, there are no comparable first world nations IMO. With the exception of Australia maybe. Unless I misunderstood 'first world"
