Me too. Only excerpts. I wonder what's so sensitive that they can't publish it yet?

Yeah, a couple of us were sitting on his twitter when they dropped too. It was the first time in my time on the internet that I literally could not believe what I was seeing. It's not that the videos were all that violent relative to the stuff you see on the deeper parts of the internet, but a different angle of a scene that we had been analyzing all morning was surreal.
Yep, couldn't believe I was reading what he was saying live, then boom, two videos. I did not watch them, couldn't bring myself too, but the images of the stills when he posted is still in my head. Looked just like a real life Call of Duty with the gun sitting there pointed at her.

I just read his discrimination lawsuit. One thing I'm not sure about is why he sued under section 1981 and not Title VII.
Also, notice how the complaint alleges that a "producer" called him a monkey, but he doesn't identify the producer. That's always fun.
Weak arse lawsuit.
The collard greens in the teeth part was funny as hell!

idk if it was a GoPro. The quality was bad and looked like portrait cellphone.
Not a chance it was a Go Pro. They record in 1080p and with a slightly wide angle lens.

People are using this as a soap box to reinforce their own biases and beliefs. This only comes down to an insane guy doing something insane. His avenue was racism... but if that wasn't available, he would have eventually cracked over something else.

Ya the video I saw was a vertical video

Yea that was such a surreal experience
When it was going on "live" on twitter I half thought it had to be fake even though I knew it was the guy's real twitter account. I was in immediate denial...too frightened to believe what I was watching was the real thing.

But recording the damn thing, murdering them on live TV, broadcasting it through social media, and sending a manifesto to the press makes me think he was also after glory, maybe trying to outdo the SC shooter by recording the whole thing instead of just shooting up the place. He may have snapped and killed them eventually, but he is after attention with his actions, and this year has proven he'd get it.

not to mention it was uploaded by the killer himself.

I think that's exactly why it kind of freaked me out when I watched it at the time it was happening this morning.

I checked in to see the latest and another poster linked the cowards Twitter account so I clicked and that piece of shite was live tweeting every minute and then loading the videos and I watched them not thinking it was really of him shooting them. God was I wrong. Scared, sick, heart racing. Just awful. Then it was suspended within minutes. Burn in hell mother fricker.

Me too. Guy across from me and I were analyzing the twitter account and talking about how this was definitely him. Then all of a sudden, videos appeared and it was like the killer was talking directly to you, showing you what he had done.
I had to leave the building and walk around for a while. Still can't describe how eery that was this morning.

Some of us were looking at his Twitter when the videos popped onto it.
Yeah. I was looking at his twitter feed at the first video then saw at the top it showed he had a new tweet. Turns out it was the video showing him shoot the poor girl. I really wish I hadn't seen that.

Where'd you find it? I located it but didn't want to pay the $110 for it for the service.

I agree he's crazy, but he's also an attention seeking whore. Many psychopaths really want nothing more than to make sure they aren't forgotten. I really think as soon as these people are captured and killed that we'd ignore them and instead focus on the loved ones may deter from these crimes.
