... I am not victim blaming here....but they are painting these two as saints when the letter accuses them of being racists and homophobes. ...
Maybe they were, maybe they weren't. We have the word of a certified nut that they were...
I'm sure a lot of people would peg me for a racist homophobe, simply because I don't give a crap if you're black, yellow, whatever or gay. I'm not going to celebrate nor mourn with you over it. It doesn't matter. What sort of person you ARE is what matters.
Mr. Flanagan is clearly (based on media reports) a *-baiting, professional victim that was willing to kill for his viewpoint. I think I'll wait a bit before writing off the newsies as racist homophobes. Can we coin a shorter term for that? Maybe raphobes? Or rahomes?
So what law could have been passed that would have not been redundant with the over 20,000 existing gun laws to prevent this?
Another grieving person who is being victimized twice, once by the shooter and once by the gun-grabbing new-left socialist polotical operatives

i heard the perfect description of the shooter on a morning news program. they called him a grievance collector, meaning he would assign blame to everybody except himself for his problems and failures.What this guy did to these young people is as horrible as it gets.
it has been confirmed that there was an "work' connection with these three. That is to say they worked at the same network for an overlapping period of time. So they knew each other.
The shooter left a note explaining what he was doing and why. Are the police going to lend any weight to that note? This guy targeted these two for a specific reason. He stated they made racist and homophobic remarks towards him. Is that a reason to kill someone? Absolutely not. We seem to have lost sight of the meaning of "sticks and stones but names will never hurt me".
And it is sad and horrible and as bad as it gets that these two young people are dead. I don't want that aspect of this diluted in any way. But according to his note these people were not very nice to him and maybe they had their reasons.

Obviously it would have been longer lasting if he left them alive and publicly outed them for their bigoted views. But that didn't happen.
So why is everyone glossing over his dying declaration?
As for the dad....now you have a problem with the laws? Hypocrite.
Anyway, this guy had nothing that would have flagged him in the system so what are they planning to fix?

I think the mountain of testimony that this guy was a white-hater racist and showed signs of mental illness make his parting letter less meaningful, He spoke about being a "powder-keg" waiting to explode, and he had many unsubstantiated accusations towards just about anyone who crossed his path. The guy planned the murder of 2 people on live TV, you want to take his warped thoughts seriously?
True but the leftist operators will ride him like a fresh pony at the fairgounds till he is all worn out then go find another useful idiot.His choice...if that were my daughter were the victim the socialist gun grabbers would not want to be anywhere around me. This guy (supposedly) lost his daughter and that's horrible. What he does after defines him and it seems he's a weak gun grabbing socialist lemming.
I follow you, why choose these 2? My guess is because they were attractive, well liked white former colleagues that made it higher up the ladder than he did. Neither of us will ever know though. I don't try to understand the reasoning of a madman.Yeah, i'm not sticking up for him. He is/was totally wrong. This was premeditated or a planned execution or whatever other awful name we can give it. But these people weren't the ones who fired him. Not claiming I know how twisted people think, but I believe he would have focused his attention on others who were directly responsible for firing him. They said he had a list of things to do...maybe he got caught before he had time to finish....I don't know.
i guess he was not coached good enough by MDA.This isn't hypocritical of the father is it?
