Homeless Man Executed On St. Louis Sidewalk In Broad Daylight
A video just hit social media that is horrifying and graphic. Consider this your content warning. The video shows a man spending 42 seconds fumbling around with a gun, trying to unload and reload the weapon while casually standing on the sidewalk beside a man who was sitting on the curb. For 42 seconds, the person recording the video watches and discusses this man’s behavior and gun violence in the area. When the man manages to properly load the weapon, he immediately points the gun directly at the head of the man sitting on the curb next to him and shoots him point blank and without hesitation.
