Reporter’s innocent comments deemed racist by on-air killer
By Marisa Schultz and Frank Rosario
ROANOKE, Va. — The words are a part of everyday conversation — “swinging” by an address and going out in the “field.” But in the twisted mind of Virginia gunman Vester Lee Flanagan II, they were pure racism — and saying them became a death sentence for Alison Parker. The 24-year-old white reporter, who was murdered on live TV along with her cameraman, used the phrases as an intern at WDBJ TV in Roanoke in 2012, according to an internal complaint filed by Flanagan, who was black. “One was something about ‘swinging’ by some place; the other was out in the ‘field,’ ” said the Jan. 21 report by assistant news director Greg Baldwin, which refers to Parker as Alison Bailey (her middle name). Parker was never disciplined over the remarks, but Flanagan never forgot them. Hours after gunning her and Adam Ward down during their broadcast Wednesday, Flanagan revealed in tweets that the comments were still fresh on his mind. “Alison made racist comments,” Flanagan posted as he was on the run from cops. “They hired her after that??” he wrote.

So in other words, he's your average everyday liberal.
Something I saw a couple days ago.
Leftists emptied the insane asylums for fear they’d be institutionalized. And appropriately so.
I think our leftist mass killer rate is damn near 99%.
If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
It was noted at the time that Castro took advantage of that by emptying out a prison and insane asylum or two....
The city of Seattle outlawed the words “brown bag” and “citizen”. “Swinging” and “field” don’t seem so far fetched in the demented mind of liberals and it wouldn’t shock me in the least if these words were argued as being “racist”.
the official list of banned words and phrases just grew exponentially. Reporters will soon find it difficult to say much of anything at all. To one intent on being offended every word or turn of phrased can be related to something that touches on a racial subject. This obviously includes third degree connections. “Field” obviously refers to cotton plantations and that refers to slavery and obviously someone who would use that word is RACIST!
In today’s parlance the words he claimed was rasict are now considered “ “micro aggression” words...
Strangely he had a “white” iPhone so I guess Apple gets a pass...
How dare they sell him a white phone.../ s
Leftists are for abortion because they believe they have the right to kill some people for the "benefit" of other people, primarily themselves. They hate Capital Punishment, at least that CP adjucated by courts that don't act according to their direction, because they know they are transgressing societal and natural norms and fear retribution i.e. they worry that the society they are eroding will impose capital punishment on them. Abortion is okay because they are already beyond its reach, being born and adult.
Someone said that liberalism is a mental disease. Looks that way for Flanagan.
You speak my language with erudition.
Thank you. If I’m elected to dog catcher, you will be my press secretary.
Anybody see this fruitcake’s road rage video uploaded on YOUTUBE?
The TV Station could have done a lot more to at least alert the police on this nut. After his firing and threats during that tirade, they should have gone to court and gotten a restraining order against him.
That could’ve put him on a “watch list” to prevent that gun purchase. But hindsite....
Innocent comments? What does Barry say? If he had a son…
Fly the rainbow flag at half-mast.
That anyone would try to interpret ‘in the field’ in a racist way is a damning indictment of political correctness. It shows the very real problem with encouraging that kind of thought process.
The many race baiters and perpetually aggrieved in this country (along with Democrats in general) should take personal responsibility for this incident. It sure had nothing to do with guns. A baseball bat or samurai sword would have filled in just fine as the murder weapon.
Disgusting all around.
“micro aggression”
As a short person, I am offended by your use of the word “micro”...
Flanagan must have been aware of Louis Fahrakahn’s recent message.
Pure 100% fruitcake.
A friend of mine is a cop and he was telling me before cops or the FBI are given their guns they have to go through psyche evaluations besides a million other tests, but what is wrong with doing that for the average citizen? Practically all these mass shooters had a long history of mental illness and NO criminal record. Like that guy who did the Virginia tech massacre, all they had to do was give him a psyche eval and saw he was completely out of his mine, or even call up his family who would who have said “Hell NO do NOT sell him a gun” because he was in and out of institutions his entire life since he was a kid for extremely violent behavior. Same with James Holmes, call up his shrink or his family, or do a psyche test on him. It would have been clear the dude was delusional. Same with this guy, do a psyche evaluation on him, the shrink would have seen he has an extreme hang up on race, no gun for him. But I bet anything liberals would be AGAINST a psyche evaluation. Why? Because they WANT these nuts to go on shooting rampages so they have more of a reason to repeal the 2nd amendment. Eventime something like this happens, the same day they are calling for gun bans like Hitlery and Obama did.
Beyond that, a 100000% fruitcake, they said they found all “used gay sex toys” laying around his apartment. EWW EEWWW EWW EWWW EEWWW. In other words he was the kind of guy liberals celebrate and put on pedestals. Can you imagine the look on the cops faces when they walked into that place? I bet most of them puked up.
