Any day that you ride is a good day!

This happened just a few miles from the house this AM.

The wife and I were watching the news live when it happened.

http://www.wdbj7.com/news/local/law-enforcement-investigating-incident-at-bridgewater-plaza/34923086


Rumors are abounding that the shooter was a disgruntled employee of the news station.

Who knows the real story at this point, I'll post a follow up when they know more.

Not 100% confirmed but very likely former on air reporter (And disgruntled ex-employee) Bryce Williams (Real name Vester Lee Flanagan).

He was posting on Facebook and Twitter trying to justify his actions and posted a video he evidently took, but both accounts have been suspended.

From a picture just shown as the possible shooter, this may be an instance of black on white violence.  This may not last long then.  And it appears that the person has just shot himself.

Few quotes I've managed to find from his manifesto that he sent to ABC news:

“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…”

“What sent me over the top was the church shooting. And my hollow point bullets have the victims’ initials on them."

“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.

“Yes, it will sound like I am angry...I am. And I have every right to be. But when I leave this Earth, the only emotion I want to feel is peace....”

“The church shooting was the tipping point…but my anger has been building steadily...I’ve been a human powder keg for a while…just waiting to go BOOM!!!!”

Those are the only direct quotes I've been able to find, rest are generalities saying what he talks about without using his words with things like "He says he has been attacked by black men and white females. He talks about how he was attacked for being a gay, black man."


And now, we've already exceeded the amount of thought and time this POS was worthy of receiving in my ever so humble opinion...  Embarrassed

Saw the video as well.

I can't believe how close he was to them and how long he was there before he started shooting without them  being aware of his presence.

A Little Situational Awareness could've went a long way here.

It's sad that anyone in this world would be deluded enough to think this was the thing to do.

It's very sad that once he had made up his mind, or what passes for a mind, to do the three things he chose to do, he executed those tasks in the wrong order.   Undecided

I don't know. I think it's worthwhile to try figure out what's going on in their heads. I don't know if it will help stop any of them in the future. But we probably should try.

This is an example of a black gay guy who was combative to those who didn't agree with him.   He was fired from the same station not long ago.   He didn't even know two of his victims.   He had anger management issues.   He lost control and is now dead.   

He's gotten enough press in my opinion.   

Grieve his victims but don't give him the fame he sought.   He would not have sent the manifests to ABC and NBC if he didn't want to be famous.

Screw him.   I won't give him the time or attention he sought.

Ron the point is if the roles in race were reversed that is all that would be on the news for weeks. This won't get a whole lot of attention after a couple days. If so I will be surprised.

Understood but, my point is that I don't care what his issue is or was, he is/was a nut case, black, white or green.   Straight, gay or unisex, I don't care, he's got all the attention I intend to give him.

He couldn't handle life.   He made some really bad decisions.   His actions will now help promote things that had nothing to do with his issues.    The White House is already advocating gun control crap again.    This asswipe is not much different than the guy that killed those folks in the SC church, different agenda but, same idiotic crap.    Had they used a bomb, this would only be news for a day or so.

Since it's an obvious hate crime I think we should all riot in the streets, burn and loot.

We should also demand that anything named with Martin Luther King (street signs, etc) be removed.

Turns out he was a gay black racists who had a long standing hatred for whites, and by publishing his anti-white manifesto makes it a hate crime.  Funny how the media all said he was white man, and kept repeating it in virtually every sentence.  Then, when they found out he was a gay black racists, they never mentioned that, and never mentioned that he was black.

Reverse the roles.  What would the media be saying?

IF a white man, who had EXACTLY the same issues this guy had, had gone out and shot two, gay, black, ex-coworkers, what would the media be saying?

It would be wall to wall racism, etc. that caused it.  WALL TO WALL.

Sad thing that happened.  Sure is a race/hate crime in my view.

See how they found him.  Highway Patrol was recording the plates of vehicles that passed by.  When she entered his plate number into the computer it alerted the vehicle passed by several minutes before.  Great system, but what about all the travels of the general public being recorded for later analysis.  I am glad it helped in this case but Government will abuse the system on innocent citizens.  I don't like the cameras everywhere and data mining machines as well.  To much chance for abuse without regulation.

I was very surprised to learn he was an avid Obama (PBUH) supporter. To the point of breaking basic journalistic integrity rules to support Obama (PBUH).

And couldn't that be said of almost (I'm giving reasonable doubt) anyone who just arbitrarily decided to kill a couple of people for no good reason other than they are different from him?

I think it's almost humorous to hear folks with a straight face talk about "hate" crimes.  Have you ever (well maybe often) heard of someone committing murder out of love for the victim?

I have said for years that the term "Hate Crime" was idiotic and unnecessary.

It was invented by the federal government as a way to take control of cases when race was involved.

It's interesting that NO person of color has ever been charged with committing a "hate" crime even though there have been multiple incidents where race was the sole motivation behind black on white crime.

Remember the "Knockout Game"?

Actually there have been some charged with hate crimes over the 'knockout game'/ polar bear game. One wonderful solid citizen here in NY was charged 5 times. There have been a number of others, however, I don't know the outcomes.
