Bitter co-worker takes revenge for racial slights in horrifying shooting [Adam Ward's video]
The Daily Mail ^ | August 25, 2015 | Ashley Collman and Josh Gardner

A disgruntled former news reporter who shot dead two of his ex-coworkers during a live TV segment this morning is in very critical condition after attempting to kill himself.

Viewers of WDBJ, a small CBS affiliate in Moneta, Virginia, watched in horror this morning as the Vester Lee Flanigan II shot dead 24-year-old reporter Alison Parker and cameraman Adam Ward, 27, on live TV as the two were filming a light-hearted segment at 6:45am.

After carrying out the shocking on-air execution, Ward rented a car at the airport and then started driving east.

Police finally cornered Flanigan just before noon, about three hours northeast, in Fauquier County, Virginia, but he refused to stop and sped away from troopers.

Flanigan then crashed the car off the road and when police surrounded the vehicle, they found him suffering from a life-threatening gunshot wound.

They won’t report any homosexual angle for sure. No doubt he was doubly “oppressed”.

Which is it? He's gay, but is hitting on the female reporter? That would make him Bi-sexual. Just another aggrieved minority to add to his resume.

I don’t know about the gay stuff, but now his “manifesto” (sent to various news media) says he “did it because of Charleston.”

He was dysfunctional and racially obsessed and had sued virtually every place he worked for racial discrimination long before the Charleston shootings.

Hitting on the female? I’ve not seen that, one account said he had never met her. The cameraman had apparently filed a complaint against him with their human resources office. I still think there is a good chance he was a fag.

Murderer has been on a station in my region but I sure do not remember him.

Thought the jerk was “gay”?

She may have said something that enticed him and got him fired. Doesn’t really matter.

Are we at the point in our society where a “racist” (good luck defining that in today’s world) deserves execution?

Most blacks think so.....

The real story is why a gay, black racist, who has a history of not playing well with people since a job in 2000, has been hired again and again in the news industry.

Well, now it has come out that the black, racist bigot microphone man who murdered the unarmed white twentiers was indeed a queer.

Little pat on the back to my predicting.

He may have been making money all along as a queer prostitute or kept boy and has seen his income dry up. He ain’t young anymore.

Why is it that the perp’s shooting is “alleged” but the victim’s racial remarks are “facts” ?

Sounds like if you’re black you get a free pass on any crime. It’s no longer “the devil made me do it”. Now it’s “racism made me do it”.
