Not saying its right, but the possibility of getting shot is in the job description of a cop.

Not so much for a reporter

And this was on live tv.

All of this. Also a bunch of people were on here following it as it happened and saw that live tweet in real time. That was fricked up.

Have seen a few of the boyfriend and he just seems really calm. Maybe it hasn't hit him yet

The dad's, no. The bf's, absolutely.

The dad was holding the tears back and almost started bawling a couple of times. The bf on the other hand looked like he was a preacher there just to comfort the dad in this hard time. All people handle tragedies different but I'm not sure I could pull it off like the bf did

I didn't roast the guy. Just said IMO it was inappropriate and seemed to me that attention could have been part of it. Y'all freaked out man.
I said something similar and was criticized for it. The whole multimedia aspect of this thing is disturbing, actually.

New info

LINK

quote:

He carefully choreographed the slaying of the two journalists for maximum shock value. And, judging from the items found in his car, he took equally meticulous steps to get away with it.


quote:

Inside the subcompact four-door sedan -- a far cry from his usual ride, a 2009 Ford Mustang -- police found a wig, a black hat, a shawl, sunglasses and a to-do list. Police also found three license plates inside.

And the use of a rental car was no last-minute decision by Flanagan. He rented it weeks before the shooting.


quote:

"Through the course of investigation, investigators identified (Vester) Lee Flanagan II as a person of interest based upon a text message to a friend making reference to having done something stupid," the document said.

What police did with the information isn't spelled out, but the text would have given them Flanagan's cell phone number, and with it they could have tracked his signal.

He said he had been targeted his whole life by white females and black males. He cited seemingly innocuous comments as discriminatory, such as "an intern asking where I would 'swing by' for lunch."


Wow. I still don't understand how he could interpret "swing by" any differently than what it obviously meant...Poor Allison. He killed her because she said that? I mean, I understand why he targeted Adam (not that it's justified, of course). He thought Adam reported him to HR and Adam also filmed the aftermath of his termination. I'm sure he was bitter about that. But Allison? Jeez, that's terrible.

Swinging from a rope I assume.

This is the end result when you move from a "sticks & stones" mentality to everyone is a "victim", everything is "bullying" & the world of micro aggression.

I took it that he felt they were insinuating that monkeys swing from the limbs in the jungle.

That's not what I think about when I say, "I'll be swinging by later," but apparently that's what psycho-shooter thought about.

Wow people are already posting shite on Facebook about this being a false flag situation. Saying the shirt color of the killer is different between the pic from the cameraman and his own video.

Yeah I couldn't believe I was seeing this unfold live. Everytime I refreshed his Twitter he had a new post and I saw the moment he uploaded the videos. Definitely the craziest thing I ever experienced on the Internet.

Explain this a little in detail; how did you know to go to his Twitter, was his name released while the chase was happening and he was posting shite? I don't know much about anything after the sick frick murdered people on live TV.
