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."

You’re right; I’ve warned my young children that some blacks will kill them solely for being white, and that was the case here.

One trope we keep hearing about in the media is how black parents need to have "the talk" with their sons, all to perpetuate the myth that police shoot innocent black kids just for the fun of it on a daily basis. In reality, it is non-blacks who need to have "the talk" to protect their children from inner-city hoodlums

... or maybe he was angry because his mother named him “Vester.”

So has anybody in the media had the balls to ask Terry McAwful, or The Won, or Hillary!, or Al Sharpton, or Jesse Jackasson, if this counts as a hate crime given the shooter’s 23-page “suicide note?”

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

Not today, apparently.

Google “Gay men hate women”. And I don’t mean they “hate to have sex with women” they loathe them the way Muslims hate Jews and Christians.

There are two and only two exceptions:

1) Judy Garland
2) Barbra

The station manager said the reporter had reported him to human resources.

I see. She probably made statements about his paranoid hatred toward whitey and said he was scary. That, of course, he would attribute to racism on her part. From that point she would be perceived as his little white girl persecutor and mortal enemy. Just hypothesizing here.

So is TV Land now going to remove programs like “Sanford and Son” or “Amen” or “227” even? Would make as much sense (or nonsense) as when they unceremoniously took “The Dukes of Hazzard” off of their programming.

To: who knows what evil?

Homosexuality is a mental illness, and liberalism is a mental illness.

Scripture describes it as a depraved mind. If you have ever seen a “pride” parade, and when you think about the evil of Planned Parenthood, you will see depravity on display.

No he did it because he’s a racist who hates and blames white people for his failure face.

No he did it because he was a dirty, nasty racist who hates and blames white people for his failure face. White racists think like him, too.

It will be hidden. He also was a male escort, which would mean prostitute with over 1000 contacts.

I agree, it was his big attentionseeking moment.

Sure; I don’t want my children to be unreported casualties in this race war. Last Halloween my oldest (a teenager) was going out with his friends, and I explained to him that if there was any issues with cops (due to regular Halloween-type mischief) he was to make sure the cop could see his hands. He is white, the cop probably would be as well, but I still had to have the talk DeBlasio thinks is only reserved for young negro victims...

One aspect of this story that sickens me is that if it wasn’t during a live broadcast it would be buried along with many similar stories.

Once again my town makes national news.

(Shakes head)

Also the DC Madame and some kind of muzzie terrorist I forget what that one was about.

I guess that’s why people call my town the armpit of the Bay Area.

Homosexuals entire lives are centered around their genitals and that is what makes them narcissistic.

Don’t be diverted by the smoke & mirrors; this was a racial murder, nothing less.

Don’t expect that to be discussed on any networks; our token “president” has already made it about gun control.

Workplace violence, like Fort Hood. Nothing to see here, move along.

He must've been picked on, at least according to the Obamunists.
