Hoax.
The real events, however, are even stranger and more disturbing than this fiction.

Three killed, 20 wounded in Chicago weekend shootings. No mention of this guy that I´ve seen. It´s probably nothing.

OK. I have updated the post in the Up like TRUMP thread. Be more careful next time. This is bitcointalk.org. Everyone is paranoid, everyone wants proof with links, and that's a good thing.
As long as it was beyond your control, most would see it as not a purposeful deception. Updating the thread title would be welcome too.

Okay, done. It's actually my naiveté showing.

Is Robert King Bullock still alive?
That's one of the facets that made me deprecate the item to a possible hoax. In the forum from which I got it, a searcher couldn't find any record of a Robert King Bullock that matched the description. So there might not have been any Robert King Bullock at all.
It might have been a heart-grabbing tale inspired by this event: a BLM-type fellow shooting off a gun to "celebrate" the cancellation of the rally: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3408593/posts
Now, this item comes from Mark Dice - but he does have a video record of the guy doing it. The guy in question couldn't have shot anyone, as his own video shows him firing up in the air.

EDIT: This story is as yet unconfirmed. It might be a hoax.
This item comes from Christian Times News:

This is terrible news. RIP Robert King Bullock. No word as yet if the cops have tracked down the perp(s)...
This item comes from Christian Times News:
Quote
Christian Times Newspaper has learned that an African-American supporter of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has died after allegedly sustaining gunshot wounds in the aftermath of Friday night’s chaos in Chicago.
Robert King Bullock, aged 37, was a resident of Chicago’s Evanston suburb. According to Bullock’s friend, who also attended the Trump rally, Robert was an avid chef, and he recently obtained his Masters of Business Administration and planned to open a local restaurant.
This source spoke with CTN on the condition of anonymity, and asked to be referred to as “Terry.” He called for Bullock’s death to serve as a reminder to anti-Trump groups and the mainstream media.
“Rob was a black man, but he supported Trump because he got tired of Democrats saying his race was the thing holding him back,” Bullock’s friend told CTN.
“[Rob] lost his job because of Obamacare. He lost his brother to black-on-black gang violence. Now he lost his life because he believed in a white man. His race didn’t have a damn thing to do with what held him back.”
Bullock and Terry were separated in the chaos that followed the protesters’ interruption of the planned Trump rally, which led to widespread violent scuffles and the event’s cancellation. It is believed that he attempted to make his way to a nearby bar to charge his dead cell-phone and reconnect with Terry.
Multiple sources have confirmed that protesters and Trump supporters continued to clash as they moved from the UIC Pavillion to their vehicles and nearby locations. It is believed that Bullock, at some point after leaving the event center, was confronted by protesters, beaten, then allegedly shot two times in the abdomen and left shoulder by a small to medium-size handgun....

Looks like Illegals are the ones to blame. At least the article starts out by saying Trump was the Front runner,that's a good start for a non bias story.

Why would you believe anything written in a Christian magazine is a fact?
That makes no sense... religious people never have facts... only speculation, rumors and outright lies
You may have well read this article in the National Enquirer... they at least have the decency to print half-truths...

The Christian Times, huh?
Went to their "About Us" tab on their website and found this curious statement:
"We make it abundantly aware the not all stories are necessarily grounded in fact."
Check it out for yourself. Some news organization, huh? Not even a good proof reader there.

The Puppet Masters divide & conquer us with this cr@p.
So many red herrings, it stinks.
Let's quit letting the Main Stream Media distract us from our true path.
Wait...that's not even MSM covering this "story!!" LOL
Unite against the machine.

One was, until recently at least, hard pressed to find any report of an 'immigrant' involved in any crime in Scandinavia or Germany in the 'mainstream news.' So, I guess we'll have to wait a decent amount of time to get a second opinion in this story.
You might want to learn german and buy german newspapers to read then
And dont read to much on dailystormer.com
Fair enough. I don't actually know it to be true that there are detriments to mainstream media in Germany (or Sweden) in reporting on crime which reflects badly on the recent immigrants. I have heard it though. Not from the source you mention since I don't know of it, but from a variety of youtube channels mostly. Maybe from bitcointalk.org as well. The two sources constitute my primary information channels at this point (until an especially interesting item comes up and I'll expand my net.)
I've heard also that there seems to be pressure on local law enforcement to down-play or not report crimes associated with the recent arrivals, and also that the data about it collated by the bureaucrats is not very reliable or transparent. If you are there, can you speak to any of these assertions?

Edited to reflect that.

Is this a hoax? No reports on Google news at all that I can see.
Please. I hope it was a hoax. I do not recall the OP making joke posts in the past though.
Is that a Hillary thing he/she uses as an icon? I'm to lazy to look around and figure it out.
Most of the Hillary 'H' things I've seen have a red penis-symbol-looking arrow pointing in an a direction which is indeterminate. One could hardly choose a more appropriate symbol to represent the times.
No, it's the image for the cryptocurrency Horizon. It was unveiled long before Hillary Clinton chose here.

I don't know myself. That's why I prefaced it by naming the source, although I didn't want to distract with a disclaimer. I certainly hope it's a "hoax" in the sense that the poor fellow didn't die.
