Interesting is how he pointed the gun forward , clearly in view, then withdrew to wait for the camerman[sic] to stop scanning....then fired quickly.

He was waiting for the reporter to be on camera since it was a live shot.

That’s weird. It looks like, from his perspective, that he’s standing only a few feet away. Yet from the first video from the cameraman’s view, he’s several feet away before he starts shooting.

“Heard he killed himself.”

CNN just said he is alive, but in “Very critical Condition”.

It's a shame he didn't kill himself sooner.

WBDJ discussing the EEOC complaint (video on CNN)

You know what would be delicious irony?

If the claim was approved.

You would actually be able to hear his howl from the depths of Hell.

....” His suit alleged discrimination by the station and named most of the WDBJ staff in his complaint, but in July 2014, the case was dismissed by a judge. Court records also show that he sued a television station where he formerly worked in Florida.”.....

Looks like the guy was looking to “hit the lottery” cash prize by suing stations. His employment history was full of issues he attempted to exploit for gain.

He’s like Yassar Arafat. He’s dead, no, he’s alive, he’s dead, no, he’s alive!

They are going to have to change the story from a mad gun man to a poor young black man taunted by racist remarks. He felt like he didn’t matter.

Isn’t it ironic that the media are anxious to hire the minority over the white man so they look like an EEO employer. And yet it’s these very same minorities that have the track record of lawsuits. MSM gets what they deserve for sure.

Actually, it’s a characteristic trait of most all liberals, accuse others of racism.

No doubt care on government dole for this POS. If he shot himself in the head, unlikely will survive for long.
