The Virginia gunman who executed two of his former colleagues on live television associated himself with the 9/11 attackers in rambling letters found inside his home and getaway car, authorities revealed Friday.

“Based on careful scrutiny of those writings and evidence seized from his apartment, it is apparent that Flanagan very closely identified with individuals who have committed domestic acts of violence and mass murder, as well as the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the U.S.,” a statement from the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office said, describing a large number of documents left behind by Vester Lee Flanagan II, the man who gunned down WDBJ reporter Alison Parker and cameraman Adam Ward.

Cops added that based on the evidence, the on-air murders were “well planned and premeditated.”

Two sources briefed on the investigation told The Post that police believed Flanagan had been keeping tabs on the pair for quite some time.

We are considering that he stalked the two victims

It’s not just that he was mentally ill. He was encouraged by our new society that told him nothing was his fault. He also needed to watch a few of the gay guys tied to chairs getting thrown off the roof videos out there. If it sank in it may have lessened his support for islamic terrorism.

About his childhood. If he was gay, odds are high (from studies done on homo men) that he was molested during his sexual development years. This is the way homos reproduce - grooming and/or molesting young people. That could be the root of his insanity and rage.

Yes, he was mentally ill. But his illnesses are widespread in society these days. Take his accusations of racism, which were based on a complete misreading of his colleagues’ words and actions. In the comboxes after the murders, quite a few people thought it likely that the victims set themselves up for what happened because they were INSENSITIVE to him. That’s where we are as a society.

Must have had one helluva childhood.

Because everyone who has a rough childhood grows up to become a murderer. /s

No, he was probably a Muslim himself or at least a sympathizer.

He was definitely crazy, but crazy people - especially with paranoid disorders, which he clearly had - often latch onto some violent ideology, movement, etc. because it makes them feel sane and justified.

This is even more the case when it’s an ideology that is itself insane and based on paranoia and violence, i.e., Islam.

But it also happened during the French Revolution - the mentally ill streamed into the streets and were completely identified with the cause and were considered sane by all of their “co-religionists” because the whole ideology was paranoid and violent.

Our current mixture of black racist, Islamic-tinged paranoid violent ideology, seemingly endorsed by the White House, is a magnet for crazy people.
