Thanks for typing what i was going to. Unbelievable that
he walked right up to them, at least 20 seconds getting in position.

WTF is the deal with the slowness @ FoxNews? No reportage on the perp’s shooting himself at all.

He was just taking Farrakhan’s advice...

So when can we expect charges against Farrakhan for inciting this race killing?

Interesting is how he pointed the gun forward , clearly in view, then withdrew to wait for the camerman to stop scanning....then fired quickly.

He had already sued another station in 2012(?) for racism, so it’s pretty obvious he’s down with the struggle.

“Unbelievable that he walked right up to them,”

Just like 9-11, the passengers on the first three planes never even thought they were doomed.

The news people are used to people coming up while live and just off camera, they are taught to work through that.

Not anymore. Live shots will almost certainly be a thing of the past.

How in the world did he get so close before he started shooting, and no one see him?

Doesn’t shooting himself make him a racist? I wonder how long it will be until he gets his own plaque like Michael Brown.

Also, it is common that the field camera used by news photographers has a light attached to it to illuminate what he is filming. Thus, someone looking toward that camera is “blinded” by that light and really can’t see anything behind that light.
