What a roller Coaster ride this morning. With all that has happened my head is spinning.

Your post though is a fine evaluation of the big picture.
And I love the “spit” at the end. It is so much funnier than LOL.
Thanks, for the comedy relief.
Regards, Maris

Yet you put a racist black man behind the gun, and all of a sudden it’s a travesty and he’s the victim. *spit*

Bttt

“he was fired from at LEAST 4-5 stations and sued one in Tennessee and Florida for racism, and it looks like people kept hiring him.”

He was BLACK and GAY, a Double Political-Correctness victimhood.
If anyone had dared to pass on his history to a potential employer, they would have been sued FOR MILLIONS of dollars.

You get the following choices with a .40 cal:

Mod 23 = 13 rds.
Mod 22 = 15 rds.
You can get aftermarket factory-Glock mags, 22 rds.

There are other mags, but I don’t trust any but the glock brand.

I suggest it was 9mm.

Clearly, in the picture above, it is not a model 1911.
But can’t tell by the picture what caliber.

That’s what I get for trusting my memory and not researching before posting.

Death is an easy out for this piece of filth. Let him live in the hell of his own creation until his dying breath. Then, his real punishment can begin.

“Reports saying he is still alive.”

Not now. Va State Police say he has assumed room temperature.

This guy is the liberals worst nightmare:

A member of the media.
Black.
(Probably) Gay.
Using EEOC claims to sue everyone.
Self obsessed.

I just really feel bad for the guy’s father and the families of the victim. This guy was probably one step away from doing this his whole life and today was the day. Crap.

He was BLACK and GAY

Do the rules of victimhood cancel out or aggregate? Double-negatives often cancel each other out. Maybe he was too open with his gayness AND blackness, and they said, "oh, we can't handle two victim identifiers at once, let him go."

A Roanoke radio station said he just died. I heard it on the way from home. Another station said he was alive.

My experience with EMS is “We have not contacted next of kin yet”.

Me, I’m hoping he is suffering.

Re: Dammit. I wanted him alive so he suffered.

Correction. WDBJ7 is now reporting Bryce/Flanagan is alive, but critical. Sorry, I'm listening to webcasts and I heard a rebroadcast of the initial report.

Exactly, death is too good for him. He needs to spend at least a few days in excruciating pain before he passes.

I’m in Karen Hills with daughter’s young family. Things were tense, to say the least. Armed with a bit more than tea cups. ;) How many Freepers are around here? None near me in my home of NY, I might enjoy meeting a few of you here!

Wasn’t insinuating it was a 1911. It’s clearly a Glock. Not being a Glock guy myself, I can’t fathom a guess.

By the side of the guy’s hand and the fact that the magazine met cleanly with the well, I’d guess it was a factory standard Glock 9 MM.

WDBJ reporting he “still has a pulse”.

He’ll probably be dead soon, or at least severely brain damaged.
