He is a black male

I am legitimately shocked. I wouldn't have guessed that from the stills taken.

"I can't relate. I would be destroyed...the last thing on my mind would be people on Twitter or Facebook."

I cannot understand it myself but many young people these days talk and emote only through Facebook and other social media.

Grief and shock can cause people to do strange things. Having walked a similar road, I’ll give the guy a small amount of leeway.

That being said, the level of narcissism that is displayed by some people through social media is sometimes breathtaking. I have a few FB “friends” who are a never ending source of amusement and entertainment. Amazing.

Waiting for the BlacklivesMatters idiots to protest when this guy gets shot down when the car stops and he starts shooting at officers

I see the same and I always advise my daughters to keep the selfies to a minimum and stick with intelligence.

Lester Lee Flanagan has quite an arrest record in Texas. 50 years old.

Terrorist Training Camp: Meherrin, VA

There's one in Meherrin, which is south of Farmville. I guess we're surrounded here. But just about everybody in this area is armed, so if they ever tried anything, they'd end up in bad shape as a result.

He’ll probably kill himself before that.

So much for all the self-righteous preaching by those jackasses commenting on that YouTube video.

was the person being interviewed shot?

So far I've only heard two people went down so hopefully the lady being interviewed can provide details on the shooter. What an awful thing to happen!

One must ask why her boyfriend would turn to social media at this time?

It's the quickest way to both express your shock and grief, and to get support. I turned to FB and FR when I lost my mom.
