That tweet was an hour or 2 ago about shooting himself?

Why? The truth upsets you. The media is very smart. They know the sympathy narrative will piss off some, and make others happy. They are in business to make headlines. This will do exactly that. Not sure why this is so surprising to you and wareagle

It's been silently going since Ferguson. Once Obama and Holder went over there it blew up.

This is what the earlier post of "Obama's America" was referring to.

They blew race relation up sky high with that appearance.

Well that and the whole "If I had a son" thing.

You want to make a sig bet that the MSM sympathizes with the shooter?


Of course they will. Supposedly he claimed on social emdia that the reporter was racist and the camera man had reported him to HR previously.

I've watched hundreds of videoed shootings. Unless you headshot someone or shoot them in the spine they have plenty of time to run, scream, etc until they bleed out.

I watched the video. What I want to know is how in the hell did they not see him pointing the gun at them? He was standing there for 10 seconds literally right in front of the reporter's face with a gun pointed at her. I don't know how he managed to stay unseen.

When something that outrageous and unexpected happens it can take a bit to really process it. I'll bet her first thought was it was a joke or something.

Possible he missed her at first?
No, she just doesn't immediately fall down and die like in the movies. He shot her in the torso several times, then turned on the cameraman and interviewee.

Glad he took my advice and put the gun to his own head.

Just saw this article on CNN. This whole thing took place because the camera guy went to HR? Holy frick.

I work in the sports media and that really isn't surprising. When you're locked in then you're in the zone. You just kind of blur out what's behind the cameraman and assume it's just someone wanting to watch. Not anymore.

Yeh it is an obivious roundtable they will do for weeks on weeks. 1 person saying it was his fault and 1 person saying it was the fault of the racist society we live in. As sad as this is, this is GOLD to the media with the climate of what is going on in our society
