PHOENIX (KSAZ) - A newlywed couple raised in Arizona created a successful YouTube business. Then they decided it was time to leave the valley and explore life, so they moved to Chicago.
But one day after arriving in the "Windy City," their big move turned into a big nightmare.
"It's one of the most amazing cities in America," said Brianna White.
"Hey, why not, we're doing okay. We can go there and be okay financially, so why not go and see what happens," said Jaelin White.
But what happened next terrified the Whites. All unpacked, the couple took the train to get a bite to eat.
"A guy comes up to us and starts trying to ask questions."
"I'm trying to be nice, realizing something's strange."
The stranger followed the couple off the train and down the street.
"I don't know what he wants, he could have a gun, he could have a knife."

They darted into a Subway restaurant, hoping he'd leave them alone."
"He's like looking through the window at us and stuff."
"When he wouldn't leave, the couple called Uber and 9-1-1 for help. In the meantime, Jaelin tried to talk to the stranger."
"I was like, hey man, do you need anything? You want a sandwich? He's like, 'No, I'm hanging around' in a creepy tone."
What happened next, no one expected.
"My whole world was flipped upside down."
"I go to walk out and he just clocks me."

And that is not the real world. Most of the country even in large cities you rarely have to deal with feral people.
I used to live in a large city, worked downtown and the worse thing that happened to me was having my purse snatched.
Attacks for no reason just did not happen, not even in the red light district after 2 am.
‘In response, one self-proclaimed resident of Edgewaterthe neighborhood on Chicagos North Side where they briefly livedKevin Fergus, has organized The Brianna and Jaelin Walking Tour event on Facebook. In it, Fergus says, he will re-create this important bit of local history and include all the famous sites, like Subway and the CVS parking lot, as well as all the brunch places, yoga studios and coffee shops that should have told the Whites that Edgewater was a dangerous neighborhood.’
“Roll ‘em up!”
Was he wearing that shirt at the time? No wonder he ‘got clocked’...
Cool couple.
Notice how the word BLACK was not uttered a SINGLE time in their story.
But...I know where my bet is placed, yup.
BETTER TO LOOK LIKE A BADASS.
Musta been a while ago. Unprovoked violence happens all the time. Happily more peole are packing as well.
Welcome to Chicago.
Idiots.
L
Red Light District,,,
After 2 a.m.,,,,
We’re You in that red number,
with the spike Heels???
I remember you!
Anyone who goes to Chicago needs at a minimum USMC bayonet training.
Oh yeah. Homey saw Snow White and her little Duran-Duran lookin metro-sexual boyfriend comin a mile away. They’re lucky they got off that light. Hansel & Gretel don’t do so well in the jungle. d:^)
You were one in the tacky sequin dress with the five o'clock shadow.
These young people look like my neighbors in Oro Valley, AZ which was a very Christian town, lots and lots of churches everywhere.
They look like missionary people and very sweet and innocent.
Explore Chicago?
???
They might want to get acquainted with Barry’s America before their next adventure.
They still don't have much violent crime there. Of course there is also a high number of CCP there as well.
if they had taken just 20" to google "crime in Chicago" they would have known...
Ack. More disturbing is that it was viewed 2.3 million times.
