That is just insane.
Oh and Darth Vader was right, which is just as insane.
Jeez, shame this guy couldn't just take himself without shooting those two. Even if, even if she was a racist and once called him an "n word" that does not justify a thing.

as soon as he posted the 1st person video of him committing the murder on his social media accounts... you knew he wasn't going to survive the day
either a cop was going to kill him or he was going to off himself
well he did it himself

So will the media take any responsibility for this one? Will those fomenting racial unrest admit that they are the cause of all this

huffington post
WASHINGTON -- Vester Lee Flanagan, the man who allegedly shot and killed two journalists during a live broadcast on Wednesday, had once filed an extensive lawsuit against a former employer -- not the one targeted by Wednesday's shooting -- alleging that he was a victim of racism.
Flanagan filed the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida in March 2000 against WTWC-TV. According to court documents, Flanagan, who is black, had been employed at WTWC as a newscaster and anchor. He alleged racism in his workplace and retaliation for reporting it. The parties reached a settlement, the terms of which were not disclosed.
In the lawsuit, Flanagan claimed that a producer called him a "monkey" and that he was "made aware that other black employees ... had been called monkeys by officials affiliated with defendant."
He said a white "official" told him that "it busted her butt that blacks did not take advantage of the free money," referring to scholarship funds available to African-Americans. He also claimed that a supervisor said that "blacks are lazy."
WTWC-TV denied both of these claims in a court filing.
Flanagan also claimed that another employee told a black tape operator to "stop talking ebonics." WTWC-TV acknowledged that an employee "may have made similar comments to another employee," but denied that such comments are "indicative of unlawful employment practices."
Flanagan contended that he notified WTWC-TV that he planned to file a discrimination charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and that afterward he was fired.
At the time, the news station denied that his termination was the result of discrimination. It instead cited "poor performance," budgetary reasons and "misbehavior with regards to co-workers."

I've thought about this. I'll hang back and see how your question plays out here.

Good. I'm glad the coward died.

Shutup, don't be that moron. This was a domestic/workplace issue. Race isn't the issue, it's the jilted lover/fired employee combined into one.
ETA:
Sorry, I was wrong. I was given bad information at work as to the reason for the shootings.
