  2. HueTer says:

    I love Google !!

  3. Bk Bowser says:

    The people driving the Google van that takes these street pictures must have been slightly worried….

  4. muggle68 says:

    second

  5. noonzie says:

    Drive by photoing.

  6. Ms B ♥ says:

    *calls 9-eleventy*

    What? It happened last week and it’s too late to send help? But I need firemen!

  7. He’s mother will be so proud..

  8. Leila - Used IgnoreButton™ Adorned With Fairy Lights, Glitter and more Glitter. says:

    Speaking of Google, how many of you know that you can dial 46645 (GOOGL) on your texts and get FREE directory assistance? Example: “Petsmart in Houston, TX“.

    You can also get weather updates by typing “Weather in 85032” for example.

  9. van says:

    this image doesn’t show up when I go to the address. you can tell it’s getting skipped over. guess it’s being investigated

  10. Hellhound says:

    “You stole my candy? give is back, now, or you’ll have to eat it thru your orifice in the back”

  11. Dave! says:

    does anybody know where it is? i mean streetnames and stuff…i wanna see it by myself in google earth!

  12. me123 says:

    did he kill the kid??

  13. Henkie says:

    He’s just showing the little kid a banana

  14. Mike says:

    Er… this was a real murder.
    Didn’t realise actual deaths were considered amusing for Failblog.
    http://chicago.everyblock.com/crime/by-date/2008/5/10/934751/

  15. DancingOmelette says:

    Water pistol.

  16. tangz says:

    WTF, I looked it up in google maps and they deleted that one image.. if you go up and down the street it skips that house. But if you look at the house before it you’ll see the same guy behind a car and the kid further up. google fails at fun! leave the shit up there!!!

  17. Bill says:

    This is really old. Experts (to be read people with too much time on their hands) say it’s actually a squirt gun.

  18. mr_freezie says:

    hahah black people are ridiculous!

  19. FailBlogFailedHard says:

    Is nobody going to mention the elephant in the background here?…

  20. Blackomega says:

    i would just like to point out that more fail than the image is the fact that it has been stealthily removed as i just looked it up and i can see either side of it but the particular image evades me…. needless to say granny and momma down the way don’t look too nonplussed about the incident

  21. Little Girl Blue >ZAP!< Dot Org says:

    Today’s phobia brought to you by LGB, Chevron, and the letter K:

    Hoplophobia – fear of firearms.

    And, just for fun,

    Agyrophobia – fear of streets.

  22. KevinK says:

    Its just a water gun, you can clearly see that it is yellow. Highly doubt its a gold plated glock =p

  23. Gustav says:

    Even if it was real, this would be more of a society fail than a google map fail.

  24. wutup says:

    it is real. i looked it up and google has now removed the image for that address. if you go to street view at 6436 S Oakley Ave, Chicago, Cook, Illinois 60636, it skips 6436 and you go back and forth between 6426 and 6448

  25. rumsfish says:

    amazing the also drive and make a photo at rape and bankrobery

    • Lurker says:

      If you click to go forward on the street ( to 6448 S Oakley Ave) you can see someone being forced toward the street then if you click to go forward on the street once more (to 6458 S Oakley Ave) and pan around to the back it looks like they’re being forced into a car. o.o

  26. mast6erka says:

    uh fake? maybe he just looked his car?

  27. Marius says:

    Gibber burble sputter prattle drool.

  28. Cloral says:

    Just popping in real quick to let you know I’m not going to be coming back until that annoying ad is removed from the sidebars.

    Goodbye.

  29. Marius says:

    Really failblog? G@bble and J@bber are forbidden?

  30. ENIGMA says:

    the fail here isnt the kid caught beating on the car. the fail here is guy who took the screenshot becaues he is using Windows Vista.

    • ENIGMA says:

      correction to previous comment
      the fail here isnt the kid caught attacking the guy with a gun. the fail here is guy who took the screenshot becaues he is using Windows Vista.

  31. Jana says:

    I found this place on google (not the original posted) and it looks like they took the posted shot out, but you can still see the same people involved in the before and after shot of the street. Interesting and scary. I am so glad I do not have to live in that kind of neighborhood. :(

  32. Jay says:

    Now this is what I call a drive-by shooting.

  33. Bump says:

    You can still kind of see it on google maps :) Yet you can’t see that’s a dude pointing a gun at a kid near an elementary school.

  34. Dr5ecksa says:

    this kid wanted to steal his car/bike

  35. NM says:

    Typical n*gger.

  36. Kel says:

    LOL this is sooooo funny I went to look at it on google maps its 6436 S. Oakley ave. Chicago, Il 60636.

  37. stix213 says:

    How is this a fail?

    This is the kind of information I want before I make a trip out there.

  38. toomuchFAIL says:

    What makes this a bigger fail is that its fake. Look it up on google maps.

  39. Molly says:

    Not fake – Google took that pic out. You can see the first pic before it happened, and then it skips up the street when everyone is out and about.

  40. Scaz says:

    This has got to be Detroit……………”Check yo’self fool!”

    • Rob says:

      Aint no D, I’ve lived in the D for more than 40 years, and our numbered streets end at 52nd.

      WTF is up with Chicago? Chicago has, for decades, been Detroit inside-out, a thriving city, surrounded by suburbs that resemble Detroit’s infamous blighted neighborhoods.
      Now, I keep hearing about gang land violence in Chicago itself! Does Illinois have a livable neighborhood outside “The Loop?”

      • Brian says:

        I grew up in the Chicago burbs, have lived IN the city for about seven years, and work 2.5 miles from where this photo was taken. I can assure you that the majority of the city is nothing like the burbs, nor the area around 64th & Oakley.
        I’ve also been to Detroit and can assure you that no city in the country can match it for urban decay!

        • Rob says:

          No big city can, but a lot of little cities do.

          Detroit really is a sight to behold. With the exception of Downtown (a lot of new things, like casinos and other attractions made possible by tax breaks) and the Southwest sector (working poor, but you can shop the stores and raise a family there), the rest of the city (limits) has huge tracts of vacant blocks and burned rubble. It’s sad to see that happen to the neighborhoods where I used to ride my bicycle.

          OTOH, if one actually prefers suburban living, and wants to be safe, the 734/248/586 ring has it all over Chicagoland.

  41. Scaz says:

    Just saw KEL’s post saying it’s Chicago, but I guarantee there’s a scene just like this somewhere in Detroit.

  42. 1349 says:

    The preview of newest Grand Theft Auto, this google shit is obviously photoshopped.

    • The Answer says:

      It’s actually real! You just have to know where to look. I found the picture next to it where you can still see them. Google maps must’ve taken the good picture out. Here’s the address if you feel like looking it up.
      6436 S Oakley Ave, Chicago, Cook, Illinois 60636

  43. giJOEig says:

    haha
    fatty

  44. MUFFINZ!!!:D says:

    Was I The Only Person Yelling “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! DON’T SHOOOOOOT!!!!!” In My Head?

  45. Pablo Lalama says:

    Did you noticed that google took that picture off from google maps? and the picture before it has the same kid and some people wathing the guy with the gun…but the gun is kind of erased! Why do they cover up the grate US nationality?

    • Dylan says:

      They cover up our ‘grate’ nationality because we can’t even seem to bother to concern ourselves with proper spelling. :) Why show off our gun issues too? :D

  46. OILERS217 says:

    Those funny people in Chicago

  47. Bob Bobson says:

    My kind of town…CHICAGO!

  48. Bron says:

    wahat is the thrill of the pic cos i don see it straightaway?

    Thanks to FailBlog for all the stuff!!

  49. Yuki says:

    I think this is fake; there’s only one “Oakley Ave” that pops up on Google Maps, and it looks nothing like this one.

  50. Drew says:

    Lol, this section of street view has been removed. Just checked, and you can see it kinda from farther down the street on both sides, but the actual spot with that pic is gone.

  51. Poodleinacan says:

    Maybe the where just playing…

  52. joed293 says:

    it’s been removed, but u can see them at the two nearest shots (no pun intended)

  53. Sex says:

    Hahah this is in Chicago

  54. Lindsey says:

    Hey I thought that address looked familiar!!! Southside Englewood!!! Chi-town!!! lol not the best pic of it tho…

  55. Hannah says:

    so is that a real gun? cause the light on it makes it almost look like he’s using his fingers – like they’re really playing!

  56. Eric says:

    lol They took the picture off of Google Earth!
    See for yourself: just type in ’6448 S Oakley Ave’ (with Street View on) and you can see where the picture was taken!

  57. anonymous says:

    Holyshit i see found that on google… ain’t that some shit

  58. FreeWoW says:

    lmao. Google loves to point out some horrible flaws..
    lol fail

  59. tom says:

    you’re all racists and idiots.

  60. Zack says:

    WOW, i think it’s real. Google removed that photo, but you can see it with other photos from a distance and mothers are covering their kids eyes and everyone has a hand ova their mouth. Wow…

    • Churkirby says:

      Haha, seriously? I tried looking for it before but even with the exact area code I couldn’t find it, I need to check again for that o.0

  61. alex says:

    probably in brookln

  62. blakhell says:

    this is weird coz i went to the address and and it failed coz there aren’t buildings like thsoe and there’s nice posh gardens lol

  63. Paul says:

    LOL I found it! They actually deleted this specific picture, but one frame before this, you can see the guy walking across the street towards the kid. This is in Chicago. ROFL.

  64. Chaz says:

    I’m from Baltimore, nothing out of the ordinary there. Just your typical handgun shooting, I think we had a few thousand last year….

  65. Jake says:

    Holy moley look how many losers waste their time posting here.!

  66. Moody says:

    Sayy cheese…..now to the left…..to your right…..

  67. Kevin says:

  70. thegame101 says:

    Yes google removed the offending picture. However if you go one click ahead or behind you can see the guy and the kid.

  71. bob says:
