My computer/connection doesn't like long videos, so I'll just ask if there's any gore (fake or real) in this video.

And if there is, then you should remove that link.

Theres no gore but he shoots him and runs, but he does fall on his face on to stairs. So it has to be a real murder.

Yea one time I fell on some stairs and I died it's legit trust me I'm a doctor.

I think what he meant was if it was fake the actor wouldn't hit his face on the stairs to avoid injury.

Did you consider the possibility that the people who were faking it knew viewers would think that, which is why it's in there in the first place? People fall and hit the ground in movies all the time, so this provides about as much evidence towards a murder as the "visions" of a self-proclaimed psychic.

This would be a good place to mention that Lee Harvey Oswald, who killed Kennedy, was murdered in front of a national audience as he was being transported from jail to jail.

Well that's just a mystery.

…The silliest of any group of people will be perpetuated on the Internet.

So no, it's not racist, but it does show a weak grasp of what the Internet is, what attributes of a video make it viral, and a lack of acknowledgement of how many videos of silly people of any race you could find on YouTube right now without even trying.
 
Feel me?

This is the thing with this generation.

If we read something anywhere, we assume it's true.

This may apply to you, but most people are the exact opposite. The internet is teaching people that you can't believe anything until proven otherwise.

I have viewed this and i thought it was funny, murder or not, it was funny to me. I would think if it is real there would be to much speculation to prove it is. The police would never investigate it because there isn't any real solid proof it was real.
