Reporter And Cameraman Shot On Live TV In Virginia
There must be an end to this intimidation by those who come to this great country, but reject its culture.

Re: Reporter And Cameraman Shot On Live TV In Virginia
I am torn between a desire to see justice done, and a quiet hope that the idea could catch on.
What would be excellent beyond compare would be if the D.A. charges the killing of the interviewee/bystander as capital murder and tries to max the guy out for that if/when they catch him*, but regards whacking the two reporters as justifiable homicide.
* dollars to donuts he'll be the sort of deranged whackjob that when cornered, will simply eat his own gun.

Looks like they have ID'd the suspect as Vester Flanigan, a disgruntled former station employee.

But apparently he couldn't manage to do that simple little thing effectively.The "disgruntled employee" believed to have shot and killed two media members and wounded a third person on live television Wednesday morning has reportedly shot himself after being confronted by police along a Virginia highway.
He is in critical condition...

And so ends this particular new cycle.Reports: Suspect in 2 murders on live TV has shot himself
As sad as it is to say, this is really no different from dozens of other murders that occur every day.

The shooter is whining "RA-ciss" on his FB page according to a news article. Why, of COURSE he is.

Apparently my cousin was friends with both of the station employees who were killed. Kind of a bummer.
Since she is good people, I think it suggest they were alright.

I understand that he's shot himself and is in critical condition, which puts his claim of RA-ciss to rest. He's obviously incompetent, he didn't even know how to suck his own pistol. I've never undstood that whole murder-suicide thing. It seems to me that he should have skipped the murder part and focused more completely on the suicide portion of the exam. It's just another indicator that he is woefully incompetent.Old Grafton wrote:The shooter is whining "RA-ciss" on his FB page according to a news article. Why, of COURSE he is.
No wonder they fired him.
