Has anyone said this could be a woman? With a remote.

I'm sensing that this guy is a convicted felon! Might want to search him in the database. Somehow if he's not there supposed to be!

Is her photog armed? If not, he or she should be in that dangerous city!

That is crazy and scary

WHAT. THE. FUCK. KimFoxx

Some of the strictest guns laws in the country & the amount of gun violence in Chicago is insane! Criminals don’t obey gun laws!

Welcome to chicago LoriLightfoot

Where's the film?

pattomasulo Get out of Chicago while you can. Be safe.

Wouldn't it be less horrifying in a society where the crew would be almost sure it wasn't a real gun?

Fox please issue a correction on this clear brandishing of a Roku remote controller before someone ID's this poor soul and the cops put 16 bullets in his back.

Ruko controller, have the same one myself

there are consequences for spewing propaganda to the masses...

POS

Need more gun laws in Chicago

Stay strapped or get clapped

It's in their dna

If it was a gun you're very lucky no one was shot or killed or robbed.... Sweet home Chicago

You are fox news....

Welcome to Chicago

CAUSE CHICAGO IS A SHIT SHOW , beetlejuice lets out violent criminals , low bonds and criminals run amuck

MURICA! 😂

Lori Lightfoot is doing a stellar job

Please find this morphodite and lock him away

It’s a Roku controller. You just assumed it was a gun bc he’s black.

Holiday weekend coming up. Get ready for some big numbers of dead young black men.

That’s how much time police get to assess a situation involving someone who may or may not have a gun. Can you tell in this photo if that’s a gun?

BeetleJuice needs to resign

I looked at the video and that's not a gun. He's stupid for doing that but it's not a gun.

Roku remote?

What appeared? It was a fuckin’ gun!!! Please report honestly,we have eyes!This pos threatened lives and we ALL SAW IT!!! Shame on you for downplaying this incident because of his skin color!!!!

See something, say something.🤦‍♂️

I would bet you it's not a legal firearm and he doesn't have a license to carry either. If only we had one more gun law.

Each crime should be a punishment of the same .....and should not take years to happen....mostly because the person or persons did not wait to act .......only my thoughts but now there Written down

Jesus Christ

😳😬💩

LMAO that is definitely a Roku controller. 😂 keep clutching your pearls, though.

The devil is running rampant. And we promote it with these new accepted norms... You reap what you sow.

He’s bold and hopefully apprehended due to his arrogance and inappropriate unsafe behavior.

Hopefully his life ends before he shoots an innocent kid/teen in the streets. Because believe it not innocent kids and people are shot and killed every day in Chicago. And then Lori lets them off with a slap on the wrist.

Plus it’s a remote control! Always stoking the fire media

Blah blah your in Shitcago what do you think happens here

pattomasulo It’s what Rupert wants, deal with it.

That’s 100% vile and disgusting. So sorry this happened to Joanie and crew!!

Welcome to Democrat run cities, defunding of police and reckless media coverage. Its what you people asked for and thats what you got. Surely the gun made the man do this. …..

Shit gotta Stop!!!!

This is in one of the nicest areas of Chicago as well.

I can tell you definitely what it’s not. A job application. Dude acted like it was a gun, skipped away pointing it like it was a gun. That’s all we need to know. Lock him up. We have to assume everything is a gun when anywhere in that cesspool Chicago. All thanks to Beatlejuice

do people actually look at the video or just read the headlines and assume the media is telling the truth?!?!

Appeared to be a gun? Exactly what’s wrong with MSM. Your people are blatantly threatened and you still refuse to report the truth.

Uh, I don't think that's a gun. Looks more like a phone or a remote or something.

Systemic structures of whiteness innit.

So your saying a black person in Chicago pointed a gun at you I’m literally shocked.

Stalingrad_Poor That gun came from a red state

He was just joking. He’s a good kid.

Stalingrad_Poor When will pandering politicians realize that criminals on the streets of Chicago do not obey Chicago's uber-strict gun laws, and creating more laws only hurts law abiding citizens? Probably never.

Stalingrad_Poor Only in Chicago !!! De-Fund the Press too

That is not a gun

deep state propaganda to take the guns from law abiding citizens. don't believe anything this state run media tells or shows you.

Look at the name on his coffee cup, is the coffee from the area where you guys were? Also the coffee shop will have his receipt on their register and his name could be traced if he used a credit or debit card. Sorry this happened to your crew. ☹️

pattomasulo We’ve got some real bright people in this world. The future of this country dwindles day by day.

If Chicago wants my business then send me body armor. I will never spend another dime in Chicago. I used to go there every weekend With friends and relatives. We probably spend 500 bucks a weekend I’m activities and food. No longer because of the safety and ignorance of people.

Glad to hear that everyone is safe. How terrifying! I pray that they find the guy who thought this was a cool thing to do!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Chicago keeps voting for democrats who are soft on crime and defunded the police. The voters caused this.

Aggravated assault charge is ludicrous. Pointing a gun at anyone without cause should be attempted murder charge straight off.

...and GovPritzker says shame on GovAbbott which I agree, however, GovPritzker and chicagosmayor think it's not their problem IL. has the most gun violence in the Nation, because Pritzker says IL. guns come from across our borders. Remember vote for SenDanSullivan for Gov.

Another reason why I won’t ever visit Chicago or ever accept a job offer in Chicago.

That’s it! More curfews for you people!

It’s a nice place to visit but…….NOT! ChicagoCrime out of control.

Another black criminal with a gun. He doesn't live in that neighborhood what the hell is he doing there besides probably waiting to prey on someone

Mental health again? He wants to be caught.

Let’s use some critical thinking here FoxNews What are the odds a dude strolling through the loop with 2 Venti-Chai Mocha-Frapianos is gonna spin back and up it on your crew? That was not a gun you dipshits.

Fox News Scary as hell 🤦🏻‍♂️😂 You just Jussie Smollett’ed this one.

The ignorance of this individual with the gun has no boundaries but I am glad that no one was hurt during this incident.

More of that “white rage” I keep hearing about.

He is only a “ man “,biologically.

Abortion rights and trips to Texas more important to the mayor you know not the safety of the city

Who walks around with a remote?

It’s Chicago what do you expect…

That’s his car keys 🤣

There goes the neighborhood!

Wow

GovAbbott was right

even if it not a gun, why tho

Welcome to my World of Butt Lick Surprises.......And ask Your Selves; 'WHY didn't McDonald v Chi Town travel through da Illinois State Judiciary under color of the Illinois Administrative Review Act?' Africa's Pro Hunters use 6 shot in a Shotgun in tight for Wounded Bad Ass Game!

Real or Not, Does it matter. The brazen way he jumped into the picture dancing away as thou he’s saying: I ain’t gots no problem I’m disgusted with these “don’t care” attitudes

Thatz a remote control or a cell phone Dumb azzzz🤷🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

Maybe he’s tired of all the Fox News lying!🤷‍♂️

Need to ban assault style Rokus

Meanwhile LoriLightfoot still thinks crime isn’t an issue and she is a great mayor. If Chicago wants real change, stop voting for the same people who embrace criminals, cancel bail for criminals, thinks laws for criminals are racist, etc. Change your vote. Kick Lightfoot out

RobertFeder It feels like the end times are actually upon us

Cool , the mayor loves her people

KeithOlbermann

'Summer of Joy.'

That was just a joke, he was just playing around and thought the viewers would get a good laugh during the summer of love 😂 👍😇

He is dumb for doing that gesture and imitating a gun…but I’m pretty sure that’s not a gun

I can see purple and white… kind look like a Ruko controller

Stop saying appeared…it either is or it isn’t? Too hard to tell within a fraction of a second? Hmmmm 🤔🤔🤔

Not a gun

It was a roku remote

He was just using his remote to turn off the fake news. That was no gun.

DigitalRebel_

Wtf

😳

What in the actual HELL....that's beyond insane...what's left

Bring back stop and frisk

Just another toilet bug

Great parenting

MSM manufactures lies, narrative and rhetoric that create conflict, stir peoples emotions and trigger them with propaganda. Got a taste of your own medicine. Good. Karmas a bitch, isn’t it?

Thank God gun control in Chicago is working.

The city just doesn’t disappoint to be absolutely disgusting.

MidnoirCowboy Did you file a police report?

You’re surprised?

Auntie Kim will consider him a mutual combatant; he pointed a gun, Fox News pointed a camera..

Seriously wtf is going on in this great city? We’re the morals and good people gone? This is mayhem nobody needs or benefits from. ENOUGH WGNMorningNews

This blurry picture you guys are quick to say it was a gun. But when it is a clear picture of a thug holding a gun you guys say it appears 2 be a gun. Totally a double standard when it comes to employees. Maybe now you guys will report it on how Chicago became a shit hole!

That don’t look like a gun….

He'll definitely obey any new gun laws they put forth from the shooting at the Elementary school. For sure. No doubt.

Summer of joy😪😪

For protection. He’s gona say when he get caught

That's an LG Stylus lol

Did the governor of Texas set this up

Fox News is just not credible I live in Chicago and I do not believe this happened!

There’s an argument if it was a gun or not, by people who have the ability to judge after watching a video. Yet we expect Police Officers to do this in real time, while chasing a person.

Am glad the crew is okay and hopefully they found him and send him to jail

He’s holding a bible. On his was home from church.

Please tell us all again how white supremacists are our greatest threat.

Welcome to Chicago BLM matters!!!

Fits the profile of most Chicago criminals!

Don't worry LoriLightfoot & AldermanBurnett will make us safe lining their pockets with Bally's Casino money! Chicago chicagocorruption chicagocrime

Welcome to shitcago

Find him and eliminate him

You put a violent ad about boxing before this report. What are people supposed to do with that?

WhitlockJason Toughest local hun laws in the USA

Make constitutional carry great again!

Think maybe it’s time to really start to clean up these cities. Arrest these criminals and throw away the key. Make the penalties stiffer, bails higher and keep them in jail. Problem is there is no penalties anymore.

Did he fire a shot?

Loke Darren Bailey said in the debate last night 'Chicago is a hell hole'!

Looks like sunglasses. But that dude is asking to get shot.

JoanieLum I’m so glad you and your crew are ok. Horrifying.

Maybe you media folks will wake up and realize that YOU ALL have a lot to do with influencing this crap !

Welcome to democrat chicago

Idk, it was pretty quick, but it really didn’t look like a gun. Not nearly bulky enough in his hand.

Of course he will do this on National TV!!. He knows they will slap a ankle bracelet on him and off he goes to commit more crimes. What's there to fear? Not Chicago laws that's for sure. 😡😡😡

Why notify police. Dude probably got an attorney on speed dial. Not enough to charge him with anything.

Bet it was one of those guns from Texas that Lori and Pritzker were talking about.

That's a Starbucks... if he came out with those drinks and he bought them, CPD should start there. Can't remember the last time I saw someone pay with cash in SB. But who knows?

Love the city life!

If the police doesn't find him, then that is whole new level of incompetence...smh

HotlineJosh And likely someone who was already not allowed to have a firearm...

chicagosmayor but where is the gun reform outrage on the regular? Only when it’s a mass shooting but this matters

HotlineJosh Dems in summer of 2020 said violent rioters were peaceful protesters. Kamala donated to bail them out

Based

HotlineJosh If KimFoxx had a son, he’d look like this man.

Are you sure it wasn't staged for the drama? Why should we believe you?
