After Shooting, Alleged Gunman Details Grievances in ‘Suicide Notes’
ABCNews.com ^ | August 26, 2015 | PIERRE THOMAS, JACK CLOHERTY, JACK DATE and MIKE LEVINE

A man claiming to be Bryce Williams called ABC News over the last few weeks, saying he wanted to pitch a story, and wanted to fax information. He never told ABC News what the story was.

This morning, a fax was in the machine (time stamped 8:26 a.m.)almost two hours after the shooting. A little after 10 a.m., he called again, and introduced himself as Bryce, but also said his legal name was Vester Lee Flanagan, and that he shot two people this morning. While on the phone, he said authorities are “after me,” and “all over the place.” He hung up. ABC News contacted the authorities immediately and provided them with the fax.

In the 23-page document faxed to ABC News, the writer says “MY NAME IS BRYCE WILLIAMS” and his legal name is Vester Lee Flanagan II.” He writes what triggered today’s carnage was his reaction to the racism of the Charleston church shooting:

“Why did I do it? I put down a deposit for a gun on 6/19/15. The Church shooting in Charleston happened on 6/17/15…”

“What sent me over the top was the church shooting. And my hollow point bullets have the victims’ initials on them."

Now I’m waiting for some “family member” to come forward and “eulogize” this Black cretin.

Brace yourself for the candlelight vigil.

H/T to our FRiend Timber Rattler for the post.

The media-created monster has struck - and now it's they who are dying. Recall the words of Christiane Amanpour after Danny Pearl was executed? "It's one of us, now..."

The call went out from the Nation of Islam. We are now seeing the result.

Who's the racists now, lurkers?

For thus has the Lord said unto me:
“Go, set a watchman, Let him declare what he sees.”
Isaiah 21:6

“Yes, it will sound like I am angry...I am. And I have every right to be. But when I leave this Earth, the only emotion I want to feel is peace...”

Well, fat chance of THAT.

....”He did it because of the South Carolina church shootings”....

No he didn’t......he did it because he’s a cold blooded murder looking for a reason to go out in a blaze of glory...he created his own reality that would engage the media and the sensationalism he could not attain in his real world.

Simple, just ignore the story when the facts become inconvoent.

He’s a gay black man...wow....gonna be hard for the media to digest this one...

On another thread I read that Dylan Roof (the guy who shot up that black church which the media blamed on the confederate flag) was "gay."

A quick search yields enough information to suggest he is. There is someone out there claiming to be his boyfriend.

CNN says he was fired from that tv station a couple of years ago because of “incidents of anger”. They’ve been showing some of his Tweets and in one he states that the young reporter he killed had been hired after he was fired.

Seems to me Flanagan was too busy being on the run to send a 23-page fax to anyone. No telling who DID send the fax.

Also felt he was discriminated against for being a “Black gay male” typical left wing loon, blaming everyone else for their problems

It's official. We should ban all leftys from access to firearms as socialism is a mental illness

As a holderite AND a sodomite, the media will proclaim him as a hero even though he took out two of their own. Race and sexual deviancy trump all for the hussein-controlled lamestream drivebys. He's just the right color and a member of their protected class because of his homosexuality. Doubtless this character also had strong sympathies for mooselimbs.

Mark my words, he'll be the face of the media-incited race war. And the messkins will join with the blacks, as evidenced by Whore-Hay Ramos. Their commonalities are the DemonKKKrat party and hatred of whites.

Obama was not what america needed. Socialism is built on creating conflict and polarisation in society. The incident in Virgina is a symptom of bad ideas having negative consequences.

Filming the shooting, posting it on the web, calling ABC, faxing a 23 page whine fest, etc. Further proof gays have an unquenchable need for attention. More and more I’m convinced it has nothing to do with an attraction to the same sex but their need for AtTeNtIoN!!!! If it were just a sex thing, they’d do it behind closed doors without all the fanfare. But no, they have to put it out there for the world. Everything they do is staged for the greatest viewership, shock value and the glaring spotlight of look at MEEEEEE!!!

Two weeks ago Louis Farrakhan called for blacks to rise up and murder whites.

Sounds like Calypso Louis needs a multimillion Dollar lawsuit slapped on his backside or Inciting Murder. I'd Include the S.P.L.C. also.

That's the same kind of crap that brought down the Klan...

So, he was a black, gay, liberal.

Angry at the world. Wanted to get a little vengeance for the church shooting. He was as sick, hateful, and twisted as that bastard was.

he thought he would go out taken some whitey with him...and it didn't matter who it was.

Of course, I doubt we will ever hear the MSM put it in those direct terms, but make no mistake, that's what this was.

He writes what triggered today’s carnage was his reaction to the racism of the Charleston church shooting:

The media spin on Bryce Williams will be something along the lines of "What he did was a terrible thing, of course, but we can understand his rage and frustration at rampant racism in America." In other words, a righteous cause, just not the most diplomatic methods. Just watch.

So, when do the #WhiteLivesMatter riots begin, and where should we be gathering for them?

"He is NOT “alleged”...anything!"

Presumed innocent until proven guilty IN A COURT OF LAW.

That is our system and even though he cops to the crime with his notes and he even uploaded the video of his crime it is still in effect. And in this day and age the media has to be careful about such or they can get sued.

We all know he did it BUT the media still must use that word alleged. Don't fault them for doing it right. There are many other things you can call them on but this one is kosher.

I wish the media would stuff this guy’s manifesto.

Did the victims get to write theirs?

Who gives a ___ what this jackass thought?
