The man who killed two journalists on live television in Virginia sent a suicide note to ABC News claiming the killings were in response to the shootings at a Charleston, SC church that killed 9 people in June.
Bryce Williams, AKA Vester Lee Flanagan, contacted ABC News several times over the last several weeks saying he wanted to pitch a story to them. He never gave them an idea what the story was. Then today, Williams faxed what he called a “suicide note” where he claimed the shooting of the reporters was a response to the Charleston killings and that he desired a race war.
ABC News:
This morning, a fax was in the machine (time stamped 8:26 a.m.) almost two hours after the shooting. A little after 10 a.m., he called again, and introduced himself as Bryce, but also said his legal name was Vester Lee Flanagan, and that he shot two people this morning. While on the phone, he said authorities are “after me,” and “all over the place.” He hung up. ABC News contacted the authorities immediately and provided them with the fax.
In the 23-page document faxed to ABC News, the writer says “MY NAME IS BRYCE WILLIAMS” and his legal name is Vester Lee Flanagan II.” He writes what triggered today’s carnage was his reaction to the racism of the Charleston church shooting:
“Why did I do it? I put down a deposit for a gun on 6/19/15. The Church shooting in Charleston happened on 6/17/15…”
“What sent me over the top was the church shooting. And my hollow point bullets have the victims’ initials on them.”
It is unclear whose initials he is referring to. He continues, “As for Dylann Roof? You (deleted)! You want a race war (deleted)? BRING IT THEN YOU WHITE …(deleted)!!!” He said Jehovah spoke to him, telling him to act.
Later in the manifesto, the writer quotes the Virginia Tech mass killer, Seung Hui Cho, calls him “his boy,” and expresses admiration for the Columbine High School killers. “Also, I was influenced by Seung–Hui Cho. That’s my boy right there. He got NEARLY double the amount that Eric Harris and Dylann Klebold got…just sayin.’”
In an often rambling letter to the authorities, and family and friends, he writes of a long list of grievances. In one part of the document, Williams calls it a “Suicide Note for Friends and Family.”
•He says has suffered racial discrimination, sexual harassment and bullying at work
•He says he has been attacked by black men and white females
•He talks about how he was attacked for being a gay, black man
“Yes, it will sound like I am angry…I am. And I have every right to be. But when I leave this Earth, the only emotion I want to feel is peace….”
Perhaps someone should point out the vicious, hateful rhetoric coming from some “activists” following the Charleston tragedy as a motivating factor for Williams act. But I won’t.
This man is obviously mentally ill, but is he responsible for his actions? Like the Aurora, Colorado shooter James Holmes who was found fit to stand trial despite mental illness, Williams demonstrated no outward signs of an illness that would disqualify him from facing justice.
By taking his own life, Williams closed off any official investigation of his actions and will remain something of a mystery.
Now, about that rainbow flag...
DEO VINDICE!
There already is a race war, it’s a civil war perpetuated by blacks on themselves.
If they stopped committing acts of violence to each other, imagine how better things would be.
Charles Manson’s distant cousin...
Gay, and black, and worked in MSM. Safe to assume also a Dem?
So do we call this the “Obama effect”?
Virginia Shooter Wanted to Ignite a ‘Race War’
***********************************
Too late - Obama & Holder beat him to it.
Yes, we need to be documenting any instances where this guy is seen with a rainbow flag.
Will they perform a drug analysis on Vester Lee Flanagan, II?
More like "the Farrakhan Effect."
If Obama had a son ...
A homo that wants to ignite a race war. Sounds like Barky.
Gun Control? ABSOLUTELY!!!
We should be discriminating against gay black men with persecution complexes.
I don’t think Obama should have access to guns either.
Personally...I’m glad he did himself.
Lets see:
Dylan Roof has thin connection to confederate flag...and it is instantly removed from public view throughout the land.
This guy (who claims to be responding to Roof) is gay...and the rainbow flag will come down right away, right?
TO: Lunatics trying to ignite a race war in the USA
FROM: The American Public (99.9999%)
MESSAGE: We don’t want a race war, so go home and leave us
out of your insane plans.
Thank you.
Who did he work for?
This human garbage not only hated whites, he hated white women.
The first shot was fired deliberately at her groin area.
Exactly. Is this idiot simply following orders to kill white people?
