The Death Of Robert Godwin

Discussion in 'Off Topic' started by Drifting, Apr 17, 2017.

  1. Okay so this is something I needed to release because it's been haunting me all day and I need to talk about it.

    As some of you might have heard today there was a shooting in Cleveland, this shooting wasn't based on race, religion, age, or money, this shooting wasn't even done because of a certain motive that could've been avoided by the victim, the victim was just an old man walking down the sidewalk. What makes this different from every other horrific shooting that we hear about literally every day is that the suspect livestreamed the murder, from where he suddenly picked Mr.Godwin to him leaving the scene of the crime. What really strikes anyone who watches this video is how surreal it is, from the moment you see Mr.Godwin you understand mostly who he is, an innocent old man that seems completely harmless, and as the killer asks Mr.Godwin to recite the Killer's ex lovers name you can read the victims eyes and realise the reality of the situation and within an instant we hear the killer say "She's the reason for what's about to happen to you" Mr.Godwin sees the gun and then looks his killer in the eyes and then makes a last plea for his life and throws his arm up in defense but the killer takes a shot and fatally hits the victim in the head, the last bit of video we see is of the victim in the last moments of his life while his killer remarks "that fools dead". After that the video is cut, the live stream has been taken down by now, but Steven Stephens is still on the streets of Cleveland, Robert Godwin Sr's family is torn apart by the loss of their favorite grandfather who loved fishing and "had so much heart he'd give the shirt off his back to anyone that needed it", Steven's Ex lover is now in WP, and his family has completely disowned him.

    I know this might not create change in most as the level of lunacy that Stephens has shown doesn't exist in the overwhelming majority of people but please heed my advice, please if you are having problems, don't hide them, don't let them build inside of you and let you do something as horrifying as this. Mr.Mr.Stephens had mental problems due to his problems with his former lover, with his mother due to her never taking his pleas for help with suicidal thoughts and depression, this man made it clear before that he felt like a monster and that what he did today was a result of all of his anger and hate breaking out, even though he's usually known as a kind hearted man who's heart is made of the same threads that his victim's was. My prayers go out to the Godwin family, no one deserves to unexpectedly lose such a bright soul especially on a day like today where you should be celebrating family and life.
     
  2. Lies. It was due to racism mr Stephens was possessed by a white man๎๎
     
  3. holy cow, tl;dr!!! summary please
     
  4. ^ black guy shoots another black guy idk why op making a big deal about it lolz happens all da time in da hood
     
  5. Trueeee
     
  6. I was way too lazy to summarize in the main thing even though I knew tl;dr would pop up ??

    Old man randomly shot up by psychotic man, livestreamed on Facebook, plea for people that have tendencies to get help instead of harboring mental problems, disgusting murder needs to not happen again pls
     
  7. oh so if white man killed white man, we wouldnt have this ?
     
  8. Someone would probably make a thread about it m8
     
  9. Lock this before it turns into something it shouldn't be
     
  10. Agree ;-;
     
  11. Yes please. What matters in this situation is that an innocent man was killed because a psycho's ex left him, it's horrifying and the man should handled accordingly. My heart goes out to the family.
     
  12. 100%
     
  13. no it is interesting
     
  14. It's terrible. You never know what's going to happen anymore, its Easter Sunday and if you watched the video, that man that got shot was simply walking, harming no one. The crime was selfish, and the poor mans family lost him on a day that's supposed to be full of joy. It just makes you worry about your family, and you become aware of the fact that anything can happen. Its absolutely horrible and traumatizing. I'm hurting for the mans family, and for the other victims as well. It makes you scared to go outside.
     
  15. What's does it matter if they're white, black or crap stain brown, they're still getting shot and people die every day.

    This does not need to be on forums. Needs locked
     
  16. I just wanna know where the other 14 bodies are.

    And why was the livestreamer just driving around trying to report on the situation told to stop and leave the area? Cleveland Clinic is right there, The VA hospital, The Natural History Museum...that's a busy area, why'd he have to leave?

    And where's the news chopper footage? You mean to tell me they bust out the helicopter to go check out accidents on the highway but not a man hunt in progess?


    There's not enough facts yet but this stinks to high heaven so far.
     
  17. The things I said on that video.. Wooooowee. Everyone either laughed or supported. I had my input on this that's it.
     
  18. But here is too many childish trolls that wanna be seen. This will turn into something totally different.
