IRL Streamer Threatened By Knife-Wielding Mugger
The incident occurred while the streamer was visiting Cape Town, Africa. In the video, the mugger comes on scene as the group rounds a street corner. When the mugger attempts to grab the camera, the member of the group attempts to stop him, but the mugger brandishes a knife before fleeing. gogirl_tv and her group then followed the mugger before encountering a security guard with the camera.
gogirl_tv's typical streams involve things like cooking with her feet, or singing covers of songs like "Kryptonite" by Three Doors Down. She currently has more than 18,000 followers on Twitch. Ironically enough, the video of the mugging (and the subsequent pursuit to get the camera back) is now one of the most viewed clips on gogirl_tv's Twitch channel.
IRL streaming is part of a growing segment of the Twitch community. Rather than streaming games, IRL streamers stream aspects of their everyday lives. It's a way for up and coming artists to show off their creative abilities, including comedy, music and more.
While everything turned out okay for gogirl_tv and her team, some incidents during streams have turned tragic. For video game streamers, the threat of swatting is ever-present; in 2017, a man was killed in an incident police attributed to swatting. Swatting is the act of making a false call to the police in order to have a SWAT team sent to the streamer's home during a stream. IRL streamers are less likely to deal with these types of incidents, but they do have to contend with the kinds of dangers we all might face, with the difference being that they can end up on camera.

Don't move, what do you want? That's crazy, shouldn't be streaming at night time and expect not to encounter these type of people. But still glad it didn't turn out worse, but there was people standing around who did little to nothing.
