iewers of WDBJ, a small CBS affiliate in Moneta, Virginia, watched in horror this morning as the Vester Lee Flanigan II shot dead 24-year-old reporter Alison Parker and cameraman Adam Ward, 27, on live TV as the two were filming a light-hearted segment at 6:45am.

After carrying out the shocking on-air execution, Ward rented a car at the airport and then started driving east.

Police finally cornered Flanigan just before noon, about three hours northeast, in Fauquier County, Virginia, but he refused to stop and sped away from troops

Did you know that after you are the victim of an execution killing, you can become the executioner, and even when dead, you can rent a car at the airport?

Did you know that distance is measured in hours?

"i don’t think it’s fair for the media to impugn the character of this woman by repeating the claims that she made racial comments. to certain types of angry black activists,"

Sorry but this is the world we live in now. See clearly this nutter is not an angry-white-christian-tea-party-bible-toting bitter-clinging- Obama-Hater. He is black so he therefore must be a victim of racism and thus all the white people that worked with him are/were racists.

This is just the way it is now.

Executions are government sanctioned. This was not an execution, this was murder.

Somebody's fingers were typing frantically I think.

i wish we could have an honest discussion in this country on how far Obama has set back “race relations” in his nearly 7 years in office. he’s never missed an opportunity to stoke the flames of outrage in much of the so-called “black community”.

i think this murderous coward has grown up in an environment where every slight (both real and imagined) has some sort of sinister racial overtone/undertone. there are millions of young black males like him roaming the country just looking for a reason to explode into violence.

that’s the real story nobody in the MSM wants to discuss.

I understand that was his perception.

The headline makes it appear there were racial slights.

I would have placed his (qualified) perception inside the body of the report. Placing it in the title like that makes it look like he may have had some (bonified grievance motive) justification.

Perhaps others will disagree.

This title of the story is offensive.

It’s allowing this nutcase murderer to define the folks he just murdered.

Once again, blacks do something terrible (riots, murder) and it is somehow the fault of whites.

The Left has created a Black Victim Syndrome, which justifies these terrible acts in the mind of the delusional.

And no doubt some will claim this guy was some kind of hero for going after “The Man.”

That, indeed, appears to have been a major objective of the Obama Administration.

Hmmm..will the liberal media types ‘understand’ and excuse the perp based on his traumatic life/mental condition/race? Will they air his mama blubbering that he was ‘a good boy’ with ‘problems’? He IS a victim, after all- right, MSM? Or is it that you cannot fire anyone black without risking their ‘rage’ and retaliation? If he isn’t dead he should be stood at the site of his crime and executed-then inserted in garbage bag and put in dumpster.
Now lets see how understanding the MSM and liberal news types of this. Imagine the consternation in the news rooms around the country-conflict of sympathies and agenda-vs-reality.

For sure he seems to have had a history of racial grievance toward all and sundry for whatever cause. A product of the times we live in. Sick.

“I think they need to edit their story a bit.”

>>> They need to edit it a LOT. He went north on I-81 and WDBJ7 is located in Roanoke, not Moneta.
