MSNBC ^ | April 18 | Alex Johnson

[Wayfarer]

According to NBC (Matthews show)... Package was picked up this afternoon from NBC by FBI, NYPD... Package supposedly had a timestamp which correlated with the 2 hour window between shootings.

NBC will divulge contents at 6:30pm evening news. Contains a manifesto and DVD.

You nailed it. I just heard on Chris Matthews and they said that NBC negotiated with the FBI for copies before turning it over.

Now...... let’s investigate NBC news and get to the bottom of why THEY didn’t call in a friggin SWAT team upon receipt of this disturbing information from this guy. Why didn’t they immediately take action to ensure that there wouldn’t be further casualties?????

INDEED.

Why didn’t the English professors give this clown an F grade for his actions and poor work in his classes. That would have gotten rid of him. Are they so PC and intimidated to give an F or are they under orders from the administration (VT) to not flunk students, especially paying students?

[Doctor Raoul]

What did NBC News know and when did they know it? Why did they wait days to release it when it might have saved lives?

[Borges]

They just got it today.

I feel guilty for laughing...but, this is pitifully true and sadly funny.

Kieth Oberman is deeply saddened because he lost one of his two viewers.

Gonna shoot him after he's dead? It arrived in the mail this morning.

[Jaysun]

I’m completely evil for thinking this, but part of me wishes Cho didn’t shoot himself just so he could hear everyone say what loser he was and how nuts he was..

I feel the same way. I wish he had a couple of weeks to listen to everyone.......before being locked in a closet with a single shot.

[Paleo Conservative]

I don’t understand why NBC didn’t fix Cho up with a camera so they could have exclusive video.

[JFC]

LAWSUITS by the tons are awaiting VTECH. Sad all the way around. The perp still in my opinion.... is still the blame but boy of boy this just sends the crazies into more of this type of behavior.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Network officials turned the material over to the FBI and said they would not immediately disclose its contents beyond characterizing the material as “disturbing.”

An Allah-Akbar moment, perhaps?

[Quix]

aLL OF IT just today?

I thought there was a call between the two killing sprees?

[Calm_Cool_and_Elected]

Who is Keith Oberman?

[processing please hold]

He sounds like a jihadist. They always put their death video out before they do themselves in.

I don’t understand why NBC didn’t fix Cho up with a camera so they could have exclusive video.

If CNN had the scoop, they would have sent this guy with Cho to discuss his feelings while he shot people..

That ought to mean a ratings bump for NBC. If they wanted to share the information, they'd tell us now.

This is like the "TUNE IN TONIGHT AT 10pm TO FIND OUT HOW SIMPLE HOUSEHOLD ITEMS CAN KILL YOU!!!"

How much you wanna bet they would be playing it on continuous loop if he was a white republican male?

[weegee]

Sounds like some of it was electronically delivered. Timestamps.
