Father Of Kid Shot Outside LA Nightclub Wants TMZ To Remove Video
Last week or so TMZ posted a gruesome video of a series of fights taking place outside an LA night club. The fights weren't the gruesome part though. During the string of fights a man pulls out a gun to shoot another man. Now, this isn't something we are used to seeing on TMZ at all. This isn't celebrity news or gossip and it really makes you question what motive they had to put this on their website other than to dip into World Star Hip Hop's niche. Well the father of the young man who was gunned down speaks out and she's started a petition to get the video removed!
Via Change.org
Earlier this week, my family and I were going through what no family should ever have to -- my 19-year-old nephew Andre had been shot outside a nightclub in Los Angeles and shortly after, was pronounced dead at the hospital.
But even while some of us were in the E.R. frantically waiting to hear of Andre's condition, the tabloid TMZ posted a graphic video of Andre being shot on its website and on YouTube.
TMZ usually covers celebrities, but Andre was just a student. We've asked the tabloid repeatedly for them to take the video down, but it has so far refused to respond. That's why I started a petition on Change.org demanding that TMZ take the video of my nephew Andre Lowe being shot off the internet right now.
Click here to sign my petition.
Andre had a bright future ahead of him and wasn't afraid to work hard for what he wanted out of life. He was small in stature but had a big heart, and there are countless friends and family who will miss him greatly.
My family and I are still reeling from our loss. We shouldn't be tortured even further by a tabloid like TMZ using an innocent young student's murder for shock value and entertainment. Even now, it's making money every time someone watches the video. It makes me sick.
Please click here to sign my petition and join me in telling TMZ to...
Thank you.

I would think that the family would want the video to be used to identify some of the people who were there/involved. But I can understand their frustration, no one wants to have a constant reminder & visual their loved one was killed.

I won't be clicking the video. The writer of the petition stated that every time that video gets a play, TMZ gets money. Not supporting that and not supporting watching a young man get shot on a YouTube style video for entertainment purposes.

TMZ and the people that usually write on the blog are usually racist anyway. They allow all kinds of racist garbage on their site and they dont flag it or anything. People on there call Hispanics and Blacks all kinds of monkeys and other bull so I would expect them to leave that up there.

@Hate my Ex - there's a second video on their site that shows him getting shot & laying on the ground dead. I think they should take that one down,especially if they are getting paid off it. But then does that mean WorldStar would have to take down their extremely violent videos.
