Suspected active shooter investigation involving news crew

[Dressed to Kill]

Wow. RIP to the reporter and camera man.

And Hillary is the queen of D-bags.

Yeah she's disgusting.

 

[M1911]

He was Irish ????

Sure. He looks Irish to me.

 

[ChevyGuy91]

Just saw the first person video. Holy shit.

 

[GlockJock]

yeah i agree i think people get focused on a task and have zero situational awareness. I think there should be a third person with camera crews who's job is to maintain sit awareness of surroundings. though none of them could have expected this nutjob maniac.

They should bring back hanging as a form of capital punishment. He certainly deserves it. Cowardly act. The video is horrific.
nutjob.

Pay a 3rd crew member?.. Like everything else in business, and in life, it's "all about the money"

 

[NHAtHeart]

Fox saying he may be alive. Critical condition, maybe at hospital then?

I'll be shocked if he survives, honestly, I can't believe the LEO's didn't cuff him and leave him on the highway for 30 mins waiting for an ambulance like they do with any other suspect.

First person view still up here (for now):

The shooter was recording on his cell phone then the video went dark in the middle of the shooting? How was the footage found? Did he drop the phone at the crime site?

 

[Dressed to Kill]

Better question is :what the hell do you follow her on twitter?

I don't lol That was on the news feed.

another report said it was a Go pro....he posted the video on his twitter page

The shooter posted the POV video. ****er was texting and driving.

He uploaded it to FB and twitter

We can likely endlessly debate the specific causes of the social decay we are experiencing but quite sadly, this incident pretty well sums up where the value has been set on a human life in today's culture.

 

[Palladin]

he was pissed at the woman, as she was hired after they gaffed him.

let's review.....angry 40yo black man on morning news, or perky, hot blonde, 24yo on morning news...what's better for ratings?

 

[xero2099]

I saw the video...that guy has a special placed reserved in hell

 

[allen-1]

He was Irish ????

Apparently "Black Irish".

(Black Irish is an ambiguous term sometimes used (mainly outside Ireland) as a reference to a dark-haired phenotype appearing in people of Irish origin. However, dark hair in people of Irish descent is common, although darker skin complexions appear less frequently.)

probably would have just been 1 more dead.

 

[Palladin]

WDBJ cited state police in saying that 41-year-old Vester Lee Flanagan shot himself near mile marker 17 on I-66 at 11:25 a.m. He is in critical condition according to WDBJ.

A$$hole can't even kill himself properly

 

[IvIax]

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

 

[W.E.C]

If the shooter sent a23 page fax to cbs last nite , was the local station manager made aware that the nut was loose in the area and should he have warned his remote crews to be alert?

 

[drgrant]

Does anyone know, or has anyone confirmed if he got his handgun legally? Was it his own firearm?

None of this actually matters, antis will whine and hue and bray etc. One big upshot of this is the memetic value is low, it's not really a random crime and it only involves adults.

ETA: it could be a big problem if the ****face doesn't die, though. Antis love it when the shitbirds don't off themselves.... 5 x media traction for them.

Not to mention, its a black perp who killed two whites because they made "racist comments" according to his twitter. That goes against the narrative of the libs, this story wont last as long as people think.

 

[Pinion]

You could hear the shooter say "Bitch" when he first raised the gun.

 

[GlockJock]

He could have driven his car into them, they'd be just as dead. Could have thrown gas on them and lit them on fire.

Yep... But it wouldn't fit their "agenda" the way a shooting does. Barry's probably slumped on the couch drawing up the executive order nullifying the 2nd Amendment right now...

I unfortunately think it will matter, to the lawyers and lawmakers in the coming months.

Should be interesting if his manifesto has any references the blacklivesmatter BS. The current administration has done more to fuel racial disharmony in this country than any I can remember in recent history. Given there was some vague mention of the shooter believing the reporter to be racist, the contents of his manifesto should be an interesting read. We may never know the truth.

Hillary wasted no time https://twitter.com/HillaryClinton?ref_src=twsrc^tfw

and apparently the victim allegedly made ' racist comments ' so she deserved to die?

It's not the first time he felt butthurt...

And in 2000, after he was fired from a station in Tallahassee, Florida, he sued the station alleging racial discrimination, according to a newspaper report at the time.

Except that today's culture is less violent than yesterday's. In the past 20 years, the murder rate has been more than cut in half.

Is that a G19? I was thinking a G26 but it looks bigger.

That's the take away from all of this? He was so rushed to kill her that he left the stock Glock sights in place?

 

[drgrant]

It's not a 26, its a 19, or 23... or a 32, but I really doubt that, probability wise.
