if you're still able to watch the video, turn up the sound all the way and right at this point you hear him say "bitch" under his breath as he points it at her.

This is all too convenient! This whole thing doesn't pass the sniff test to me. Anyone else getting the same vibes?

 

[Lank]

Any ideas how he knew that the victims would be there at that time?

 

[Salyeica]

Here it is from a different perspective.

It appears that the reporter glances in the direction of the shooter briefly, so aybe his presence wasn't alarming to her.

Yeah, we need moar tinfoil because a workplace shooting by a disgruntled ex co-worker is improbable.

Not sure if serious.

it's all an elaborate hoax perpetrated by the obama administration to further push the gun control agenda?

all parties involved are safe in an undisclosed location provided by witsec?

Depending on when he was let go, who he had access to, etc... he might have been able to get his hands on a schedule. He could have called up the station and socially engineered someone into divulging that info.

White House press secretary Josh Earnest called the shooting: “another example of gun violence that is becoming all too common”. Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe, former representative Gabrielle Giffords, and other gun control proponents called for new gun laws such as expanded background checks. “There are certain people who should not be entitled to a firearm,” McAuliffe said.

Now will come for the big push for expanded background checks and closing the " gun show loophole "

Whatever...

 

[Mr. Gold]

Wow, no shit. ****er even skipped installing a night sight on this glock. He must have planned this when he bought it.

For those who did not see the video, this picture is not the point where he shoots, he actually puts the gun away from aim point and shoots a few seconds later.

I disagree with those who say that victims being armed had no chance either way.

 

[atilla]

Whatever...

well tell us your damn theory then.

 

[ColdDayInHell]

Whatever...

What are you, 12?

No, not getting the "same vibes". There's nothing convenient about this.

One cannot unsee Bud Dwyer's last act on earth.

Never heard of Bud Dwyer until 10 minutes ago. Just watched the video. Yeesh.
That shooting in Virginia this morning...those young people had their whole lives before them and some senseless coward takes it all away.

 

[Hoover]

Any ideas how he knew that the victims would be there at that time?

Could have been on the news the day before as a teaser, the reporters often post things on twitter saying they are interviewing x in an hour, etc.

He could have waited outside the station and followed them, etc. There are many possibilities. Also when they do live shots, they are there sometimes they are there for hours.

 

[mursenary4]

this is awful in every possible way. that man is a monster and im glad hes dead. wish he had shot himself in the head last night and saved us all the trouble

 

[atilla]

Whatever...

What's even more ****ed up is the camera guy had a relationship to one of their producers and the reporter was engaged to another TV anchor. Pretty ****ed up having to watch your SO get killed on TV... I can't imagine the shit those people feel right now.

Pretty horrible but the besides it happening to a news crew while they were live on the air, how is this different than similar crimes that happen daily?

 

[Rockrivr1]

It's not different. Having it done on live TV takes it to the next level that I don't think has been seen before.

It's not. It's the live TV and Twitterization of it in real time that's the kicker.

Bingo. The GF producer watched this as it happened in the control room.

with any luck, he stole the gun.

Tragedy happens on a daily basis...this story, which is beyond sick, barely hit the news http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/08/1...tcmp=ob_article_sidebar_video&intcmp=obinsite

 

[Dressed to Kill]

The Associated Press is reporting that the suspect in the shooting is dead, citing an unnamed official. The Guardian cannot independently confirm this. The Virginia police press conference is expected shortly.

I'm not a big conspiracy guy but something doesn't seem right with this if you watch the video the guy points the gun right at them and not one of them glances at this person in their personal space ..just saying

Eff that. If a white kid shooting nine black folks in a church didn't do it, a black guy shooting two people on live TV can't.

Why did I do it? I put down a deposit for a gun on 6/19/15. The Church shooting in Charleston happened on 6/17/15…”

He continues, “As for Dylann Roof? You (deleted)! You want a race war (deleted)? BRING IT THEN YOU WHITE …(deleted)!!!” He said Jehovah spoke to him, telling him to act.

I've seen a shitload of news blooper reels where people either snuck into the view of the camera or the reporter and until the person was hanging around for awhile, nobody noticed them. It's not rocket science to sneak up on distracted people. Is it weird to see it in action? Yes.... but it's not difficult, especially if you've experienced similar distraction.

So he passed the background checks, then?

Piss up a rope, demanding moms.

Apparently , so this means we need super-duper-duper background checks
