#Uber #Shooting #Scam
Guy had no right to fire at her. She was no threat to him.
This was murder. He must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law
He needs to be in jail. Scam or not. He took vigilante justice on that poor woman.
shes on his property and couldnt be sure
@@TheKillTable she's backing up and calling for help. That's not someone who's a threat.
So he shoots a lady dead and expects not to be charged with murder?
@@newhorizon1355Doesn’t matter at all! He had zero reason to fire on her.
@@newhorizon1355 This is false, she was trying to leave in her car when he executed her in cold blood. The video is out there for everyone to see.
@@newhorizon1355Even if everything regarding the scam done to him is true he still had zero legal right to shoot her EVEN if he thought she was involved in the scam and was escaping. That’s not how self defense works.
@@newhorizon1355legally speaking he has no ability to claim self defense or that he was protecting himself or anybody else. Legally as soon as she starts retreating away from him and he follows her, anything that happens from that point forward he can’t claim self defense over. She did nothing wrong. He decided to not wait for the police and illegally shoot instead.
All he thought was ... Threat over the phone + Person showed up + Black = Shoot ....
Im tired of the old geezer gun nuts.
I'm tired of them too. They just want a chance to use their gun , before they get too old and die.
He had no business having access to a weapon. Clearly no longer all there upstairs and can't make sound decisions.
I'm all for the second amendment but some people are way too trigger happy to use their guns. There was no need for this
Arrested two weeks afterwards.. wow & they say there’s no racism anymore.. if that isn’t the biggest lie ever then pls tell me what is? He gets a pat on the back & he’s called the victim.. Wow… good ol’ AmeriKKKa for you.. 😡
@barretthohn2552 I agree with your comment.
The ransom call is his story. Our story is he shot a defenceless crippled black woman three times while she offered no threat. This is a racist hate crime.
That's true
America is full of racists thank GOD am born in Africa never experience this pain
💯
Legally he has zero ability to claim self defense either. Once she started retreating away from him and he followed her anything that happened from that point forward he can’t claim self defense over.
This world is full of terrible people
The authorities _MUST_ bring the scam caller to justice for this as well!!!
The call came from outside the USA
They had their chance they blew it. Dumb lady cop identified herself 🙄
@@ytzpilotit was made from Canada that’s what the FBI and CIA are for to find people like that.
@@user-dc7gu5ee2g Canada doesn’t have the FBI or CIA, they have the RCMP or CSIS, the USA has no jurisdiction in Canada
There is no scammer!. This is a cover-up!😮
His relatives should be charged with derelict of duty, and elderly abuse for failure to seize his car keys and initiating a "Power of Attorney;"only, after placing him at Sunny Brooke Meadows
Allegedly shot? Really? Are facts allegedly now? I allegedly inhaled oxygen. I hope my lungs don't sue
😂Hilarious
He’s not been convicted in a court of law and so if the media didn’t use alleged, they would be sued like crazy.
They to use to the word allegedly because if they do not. they will be sue for defamation.
Welcome to the sensitive culture where truth before our eyes, is offensive.
ITs OHIO everyone of them have a high chance of being biased against black and brown people. Read how the public is out there as well as the police. The ending he will might be found innocent and if guilty serve under 5 years its Ohio. Slavery hurt black people because black people cant find equity. Her life had no value over his. Its messed up and brings me to tears seeing how her last minutes were she was literally begging for her life and that made him want to harm her more. Then in the end the cops felt sorry for him and called him the victim. WORSE the cops coached him on what to say didn't even cuff him. The scam does no include kidnapping as soon as the TARGET feel like its a kidnapping they will call the police and its over so the police told him to say that for justification and released a statement in his favor. When on film this old racist man is dangerous, he is just like them. Black lives do not matter to them period. RIP Miss lolita as well as Donavan Lewis see both the cops and this old man are the same.
I love how law enforcement treats this brutal act of sadism as a 'tragedy' and 'sad.' This was a horrific act of brutality. The scam was just the excuse for violence. This woman was tortured and murdered in broad daylight, and this man walks free on bond. God forbid your child walks into his driveway and says something to upset him on a bad day. He is a threat to the community if ever there was a threat. This isn't pop-pop got confused and didn't know what he was doing. This was as intentional and knowingly as it gets.
Unarmed old woman is Dead
Scammer needs to be charged too. That poor woman 💔 rest in heavenly peace
probably Indian or Nigerians
@@PeterDiaz-sg4xeIndians, Nigerians, or Russians
Wow, the account was banned...guess they will just have to use one of their other 300 accts.
He unforgively shot 3x this defenceless women even though she cried "help" cause she was black the women😢😢
Please retrain cops to use their noggin. Dimwitt tells the scammer shes a cop and lets meet. Steller detective work there 🤦♀️
Yeah she should have instead said she had the money and asked where to meet.
He admitted it 25 years to life for him
There still was no threat to this man's life!. And old age does not excuse murder!
He deserve jail for life.
It was by accident most likely African scammers in Africa
@@PeterDiaz-sg4xeNo it wasn't, it was a white guy mostly in the United States.
@@deet4895 Indian or Nigerians love doing this type of Scam
@@deet4895Nah. Was probably African American
@@kaiser5568 oh so you just want to play the whole racial game huh? The guy on the phone with the cops did not sound like a black guy, an African or Indian, he indeed sounded like an American white guy.
Legally he has zero ability to claim self defense or that he was protecting himself or anybody else. Once she started retreating away from him and he followed her anything that happened from that point forward he can’t claim self defense over. EVEN if he though she was involved in the scam and was escaping he STILL wouldn’t have any legal grounds to follow her and shoot her to death. It’s also very telling that he shot her 3 times with enough time in between shots to talk to her and taunt her while she died. These aren’t the instantaneous actions of someone in fear of their life acting on impulse, they’re the calculated actions of someone who understood those actions would lead to the death of a retreating, unarmed woman. Even if everything regarding the scam done to him is 100% accurate and he thought this woman was involved (even if she was the initial aggressor which she clearly wasn’t) he still has no ability to claim self defense once he followed her as she started retreating. This is factually murder.
Hate crime
It’s more complicated than that
@@PeterDiaz-sg4xehate crimes are complicated. This is a complicated hate crime. Just saying it’s more complicated than that doesn’t change anything.
why didn't he call the cops when he got the scam call
Exactly.
Maybe Uber should disable the service...
Wonder what he would have done if a pretty white lady showed up?
Don't even make this about race.
@@cynthiatreynor1973 It _is_ partly about race. The old man is likely afraid of black people to some extent.
It's a, "Things were different back when _I_ was younger..." type of thing. I've heard it a bunch.
@@cynthiatreynor1973
What if this was a mail man?
I am just probing on whether he would do this to anyone that walked up or if that could be a factor.
@@Typical.Anomaly Which race is more likely going to rob u? KEEP LYING TO YOURSELF.
@@cynthiatreynor1973 And why not, it is a valid point, whether or not you agree...
Tbh im sick of getting fake ups & fedex scammer text asking for my address so they can send me a "package" .
Facts I get them soo much even had got an spam on my dod desk phone
Once I had a spam with the local PD. I called the by never back they was aware of the scam and many people had called the PD number
omg those are scams ???
He was born during Jim Crow, I'll say that.
🎯
How come this man isn’t in cuffs?
Allegedly????? It’s right on camera 📷
We're not going to dismiss the fact this man took justice into his own hands. He needs to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law period.
So many old folks killing younger people. In there lame excuse's is mind-blowing.
Modern day lynching
It’s more complicated than that stop being so dramatic it’s mostly Indian scammers or Nigerians
Omg stop it race baiter.
💯
I noticed that option on DoorDash. To pick up a UPS or FedEx package. Idk i barely trust the delivery drivers with my food. During pandemic half the time they delivered to wrong address. Now if i do i just meet them outside.
Uber should be accountable too for accepting those scammers brought this helpless lady on this horrible situation....my prayers😢
sad! Condolences the both side of the family. Unfortunately those scammers are calling from India! I think “ethical hackers” or “gray hat” should be helping out in exposing these scammers! if Russia or China do it to us? Then we have the right in cybersecurity/offense and defense!
Wow. How have they not caught the scammer? Can't they just trace the credit card used for the uber account?
It was an Indian scammer listen to the call. This guy is somewhere in india
@@felipenunez2058he's a white guy
The account was traced to someone outside of the United States. I'm not sure how they'll be able to charge someone who isn't in the country. I pray that the culprit it caught and jailed, but it seems like a longshot
So it’s ok to make yourself a prosecutor, a judge and jury?
Detective: come on over here and see whatcha just caused boy..you in big trouble now
Scammer: ok ill be there in 20min...........*leaves country*
Pretty sure the man was released on sight, road trip down to the police department .. law enforcement what a joke.
I will post this again dont understand why Mr Brock is out on bond on a murder charge while some people are locked up without bond on same charge in another post i think i might have said Do states have different rules or would like to add different laws about setting bonds? If anyone knows let me know very saddened and upset over this senseless tragedy and again my thoughts prayers sympathy and condolences go out to the ladies family and friends and not trying to scare anyone but have heard God maybe coming soon he sees what's going on on in this ole sinful world and whens he has had enough he will let us know we need to be ready for his coming my question is will he forgive Mr Brock for this murder? That is up to God God Bless you all stay safe and take care.
Imagine releasing him on $200,000 from $12,000 for the scam. See how you retire in jail for the rest of your life.
With... he need to go to jail bro
Two weeks after jeesh....This is not a scam issue it's a judge dredd issue
This whole thing is so stupid, I would have been asking lots of questions if I was the Uber driver. I would have said to my boss, once I pick up this package, where am I supposed to deliver it? And the old man's mistake was, not asking the Uber driver any questions before calling the police telling them the Uber driver is here now. I'm holding her at gunpoint. So he's in fact guilty of murder and taking her cell phone. There's much to be discussed about what happened. And when the scammer told the old man he's got his nephew hostage, what if he didn't have a nephew? All my family members are dead from old age, so that would never work with me.
Mr. Brock is guilty as charged , GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY !!!
So sick of Uber, they take 60% of drivers earnings and cares nothing about drivers safety.
My heart breaks watching the video
Not guilty? Seriously
2 weeks laters.really.
Caller sounded American
It was a soundboard, not an actual person.
This is difficult. I see a lot of people just demanding that he be prosecuted to the full extent of the law but he's an 81-year-old man who is also a victim of this.
You ever driven behind an 81-year-old person? You ever been in the store with an 81-year-old person? They are cognitively not on the same level as you or I.
He was being terrorized by a scammer. He's 81 years old and was told someone was coming to his home. At 81 years old the fear he must have been in Knowing that he is at a disadvantage if someone came to do him harm.
I'm not trying to take away from her death which is absolutely horrific and tragic, but come on. He absolutely terrified and confused.
If it wasn't a scam and she had mistakenly shown up at his address and he shot her, sure but this was a very intricate and well coordinated plan by someone to get people hurt. If he had been 50 years old I don't think it would have played out like this.
At the end of the day they were both victims...
now see what happens if yhe same guy rules the biggest superpower. even looks like jb
How many of these packages had she picked up ?
How many pa pages has this caller sucessfully got away with ?
But where was she supposed to deliver the package once picking it up? I seem to have more common sense questions unanswered than anyone else is asking.
White man
Yes he's a white man and a guilty man. .
Between this headline/caption and grady judd news conferences, I really dont think the words "accused" and "alleged" are widely understood.
You arm chair lawyers need to get a life.
What do you mean "Man allegedly shoots Uber driver ", there is no allegedly about it. "Accused of shooting"? The video shows he shot her willingy and executed her. And then the cops didn't even cuff him or manhandle him. Nope, all gentle pat downs and helpfull escorting.
They have to say ‘allegedly’, as he hasn’t been tried and convicted yet. If they don’t, then they face being sued for defamation by him. Alongside that, it can also cause the case to fall through. If the media call him a murderer, then the case *could* be dropped on a technicality, as it could be deemed that the reports would influence them
justice for uber driver because she is old women why called her .he can stay home and call poolice which is he didn’t men is murder should have to stay in jail for life 😮
If it's a black guy or immigrant.... just saying
Milgrimesque?
Netflix series coming soon.
I don’t think it’s been proven yet that The Uber driver _was_ innocent ( ? )
Uber driver possibly setup by a family member for financial gain. Why was she specifically requested?
Aren't you a regular Sherlock Holmes. Listen to the call is an Indian scammer. This lady work for Uber and she accepted the delivery could have been anyone that delivers for Uber. Some people just have listening comprehension problems. People always looking to justifying killings
Oof, don't quit your day job sir. Uber connect (the package pickup and delivery function of the app) works pretty much the same way the driver/food delivery app does, nearest driver/ first come first serve.
🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
Shut up
Hamas 🤢🤢
eyy the land of the free, for free.
Old man not his own fault ..blame aim scammers give em Brainwashed and excuse
Republicans fault
Not guilty, sadly 😢
She was unarmed and posed no threat to him.
Allegedly????? there’s video of him doing it…
Scammer isn't even in US and will probably never get cought.
yeah thats the sad part
Probably Indians or Nigerians scammers
The real criminal is caught.
@@user-mn8ul9bf2g you mean the poor man whose situation was so complicated you can't comprehend he wasn't the bad guy but a poor old man duped into going to the extreme to protect himself from extortion? Yeah you should keep your opinions to yourself you not too bright.
@@juicewrld9867 It takes an extreme racist to think this cold blooded killer is a victim.
