Tyler Durden's picture




 

Vester Lee Flanagan - aka Bryce Williams - the gunman who killed two journalists during a live broadcast in Virginia has attempted suicide and is "in a very critical condition", media report.

He was dismissed in 2013, after gaining a reputation for being "difficult to work with," according to the station's management.

 

Video Resume here...

*  *  *

In a stunning update, the gunman - has tweeted the moment he killed the two news people... (video has been removed from his twitter and facebook account which are now suspended)

The video can be found here (warning - extremely disturbing)

The reporter knew nothing until the first shot went off!!

Update: Shooter believed to be “disgruntled employee”

As The Daily Beast reports,

In the tweets, Flanagan hinted at possible motives for the shooting. He tweeted about filing an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission complaint and alleged that the reporter had made racist comments. “They hired her after that???” he tweeted. The slain producer, he claimed, complained to HR about him after working together one time. His final text tweet boasted about filming the attack.

 

ABC News said it recieved a 23-page fax from Flanagan and turned it over to authorities.

While Americans are becoming numb to inner city violence, shooting sprees, and lone gunmen at military installations, the following stunning clip - from live TV at the Bridgewater Plaza in Bedford County, Virginia - of a reporter and photographer being shot and killed is likely to raise the public's awareness of the underlying chaos occurring under the surface in America every day...

 

As RT reports,

A gunman has opened fire on a TV news crew conducting a live broadcast from Virginia shopping center on Wednesday. Police are reporting three victims, though their conditions are currently unknown. The shooter is still on the loose.

 

Video from the scene appears to show a crew from local TV outlet WDBJ7 being attacked in the middle of a live report at Bridgewater Plaza in Moneta, Virginia.

 

A reporter was interviewing a woman at the shopping center when the gunman walked into view, firing what sounded to be at least six shots.

 

The station has confirmed the incident involved one of its crews.

 

Police are looking for the shooter and hope to soon release a description of the individual to the public.

 

Nearby Bedford County schools are currently on lockdown as police search for the shooter, ABC 13 reported. The Virginia Department of Transportation has reported a high-priority situation, announcing the closure of Route 122 in the area.

Nope - open carry. With concealed carry you simply won't get your firearm out in time. Those few extra split seconds will be the difference. You don't want anything in the way of yourself and your firearm.

Don't  Bring a "lockdown" to a gun fight.  If I had a child in any school in that area I'd get my gun and head to the school and bring him/her home where I could defend them against a gun with the only thing that can actually defend against a nut with a gun.

Nonwhite Crime Apocalypse Envelops New York City

"New York City is now a crime-ridden hell where nonwhites commit 95% of all murders, 90% of all rapes, 90% of Felony Sex Crimes, 96% of all robberies, 91% of all Felonious Assaults, 90% of all Grand Larceny offenses, 86% of all Misdemeanor Sex Crimes, 90% of all Misdemeanor Assault and Related offenses, 87% of all Petit Larceny offenses, 84% of all Misdemeanor Criminal Mischief offenses, 96.6% of all Shooting offenses, and constitute 90.8% of all firearm arrests, 86.3% of all Drug Felony arrests, 82.3% of all Felony Stolen Property arrests, and 94.5% of all Felony and Misdemeanor Complaint Records with Identified Juvenile Victims, Suspects and Arrestees—all this according to official figures released by the New York City Police Department."

"The “White” statistics are, of course, distorted, as the authorities classify Middle Easterners, Arabs and others as “white” or “Caucasian” as well, in line with Federal guidelines."

"Once this erroneous classification is removed from the equation, the “White” crime rate will be even lower than stated."

You forgot to mention the millions of murders, beatings, rapes, and robberies perpetrated by American whites elsewhere in the world. Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Ukraine, and so on. And that's just the present day. Let's not forget the vicious crimes commited against Latin America by Judaeo-WASPs over the past 200 years or so.

Not to mention the crimes committed by American finance, commerce and industry, crimes which keep other countries and peoples down so America can maintain its exceptional position as Numero Uno on Planet Earth.

Recent incident here. 26yr kid stabbed his father to death in a restuarant.  Press reports he was on "mood enhancers."  Now spinning as schizo. He was on a cocktail of SSRI's. He used to work for my neighbor. He walked 12 miles last summer in the blazing heat to her house barefoot. He was a good kid, till they whacked him out on that garbage.

War on drugs...right.

This does not look like a "random mass murder" to me.  This looks like a very targeted hit. That is also why he left after only this single shooting incident and cant be found.

There is much more to the story I bet here between the reporter and this man.  This is probably more of a crime of passion or a revenge killing, or a gang related incident,  or something like that.

Yes, that is exactly right. Deterrence. Nothing would have happened and they'd all still be alive because the gunman would not have even bothered to show up.

The beauty of the 2nd Amendment is that not everyone has to have a weapon, just enough for shooters, muslims and crazies to be paranoid enough to know there is a high probablility at least one person is going to have a gun.

It also works for the Federal Air Marshall service. They can only be on a small percentage of all flights so they hide their guns and disguise themselves as a random passengers on just a few flights. Nobody knows if they are on their flights or not, but they all wish they were.

Of course it was a disgruntled employee or acquaintance, who probably had an issue with the reporter that got shot.  Who else would know to show up at 6:45 am for a scheduled interview?   The third person who was not shot probably gave a detailed description of the shooter so he will be caught soon.

Video down now, but it looked strange to me. He appeared to target the female reporter, there is smoke or blood splatter coming off her. looks like smoke. And then he targets the cameraman. It looks like the camera is set down, those things are heavy (I used to be a cameraman).

It looked like the female began running after she was shot, and then he shoots the cameraman and goes for her again. But the woman in the middle is completely unharmed. Could very well be real, but I'd have to watch it again. Definitely a raging person and not a pro.

I upvoted you.

The shooter prepared for this event.  He must have known he was going to kill a guy holding a video camera, so he donned a mask.  He watches TV, so he also donned beige latex gloves to keep fingerprints off of the murder weapon.  He (or she) donned heavy, baggy clothing in what must have been warm weather to conceal the true form of his body.  He could have whacked them at any time after they arrived on location, but waited until the middle of the interview when he knew the murders would be at least in part caught on TV, maybe even on a live feed.  He left the interviewee alive, so this wasn't about building a body count.  

I'm not prepared to conclude yet that this was a love triangle gone bad.  Maybe it was a psychopath who wanted his carefully planned murder spree televised.  That is not too much of an extrapolation beyond the many freeway snipers who obviously want to see and hear about themselves on the evening news.

Those musings are the ones that got sent to my brain via my eyes and the got filtered through my brain and into my fingertips based upon my own personal bias ( I think people are smart, even dumb ones, and even psycopaths). 

Lawyers are fond of saying that "there is nothing more unreliable than eyewitness testimony", and the truth inherent in that proverb is on display here big-time today.  Commenters tell us the shooter was black, he was white, he was a Mexican illegal immigrant, he was a man, he was a gang member (the infamous VT gang?).  What their eyes saw goes through the same filtering process and comes out showing more about their innate prejudices than it does about the facts.

Or, more disturbingly, it reflects the mentality that every event, no matter how tragic, is a crisis that cannot go to waste, and which must, instead, be immediately transformed coldly into a debating point to support a political agenda.

IF it's true, it's tragic. Unfortunately I have been conditioned to doubt ANYTHING coming from the MSM, especially involving gun violence. My skepticism has evolved from being able to disprove almost every sensationalized story in the modern era. Our politicians and government lie to us every day, our media lies to us every day, and our regulatory agencies lie to us every day. So please forgive me for not plunging in emotionally, but if it is true it's very sad.

A typical white man not unlike ZH readers shoots someone, an act that many here on ZH totally condone by the many racist rants one reads, and its readers blame EBT Obama voters?

However law officials know better, they view low and middle income whites as potentially more dangerous than any EBT Obama voter and the epidemic of gun killings confirms it.

To the extent this is true, it is due to the indoctrination of law-enforcement tyrants, plus the fact that whites are more effective at most cognitive-related activities than coons.  That would include murder planning and execution.  But you are wrong about which ethnic groups kills the most with guns.  It's the niggers.

Time is really speeding up in the world of conspiracy.  The people who downvote the hell out of the suggestion of conspiracy are at risk of being proven wrong by the end of the thread nowadays.  It used to take years or decades for conspiracies to be substantiated and by then nobody is paying attention.  Now we can accurately predict the timeline of a BS story on a thread before it hits in the media, it's that predictable.  It also helps that governments are complete idiots.

Ok, now this is strange. Thought it was strange from the beginning but this twitter image shows that he is 6:30-7:00 from the two women. The cameraman is at 5:30 (based on the center of the two women). But in the news video he is clearly walkingfrom 8:30-9:00.

What'd he do, loop around? Makes no sense. Have to see this twitter video for any of this to make sense. But it's weird.

This type of violence is just a part or manifestation of general increase of the violence within the society, as a promoted way of settling perceived injustices in the conditions of increased uncertainties related to the economic collapse and the outrage about the state promoted violence, wars and lawlessness within government including the court system and open thievery among banksters and speculators destroying livelihood of the ordinary people.

A very interesting take on the roots of violence and its character I found at:

Here's the difference. Financial, economic and job stats can be shown to be factually incorrect, and anecdotal evidence supports the cynicism. The crime stats are supported by anecdotal evidence. Feel free to take an unarmed stroll through East St. Louis sometime, especially at night. Or,maybe Detroit? Certain darker parts of Chiraq?
