Two days ago, ABC News reported that Vester Flanagan, the murderer of two WDBJ employees, sent a 23-page faxed manifesto to ABC News. ABC reported bits and pieces of the manifesto.
Yet we still haven’t seen the full document. ABC hasn’t made it available. Why?
John Nolte and others have been busy hammering away at the racial hypocrisy of many in the media after treating Flanagan’s crimes very differently from Dylann Roof’s. Unquestionably, they were both racially motivated. But you’d never know that from reading the headlines in the Washington Post or other mouthpieces that enable the (one way) racial grievance industry.
Some of them are particularly dishonest brokers when it comes to reporting on the racist motives of evil wrongdoers..
A CBS report never mentioned the shooter’s racial comments at all...
Then, a piece in the Chicago Tribune called the killer “off kilter” and “bizarre” but steered clear of fully reporting on his racist ideas.
One reporter, The Washington Post’s Dave Weigel, even took to Twitter to wring his hands
...
Until ABC News releases the full text of Flanagan’s hate manifesto, the public won’t get the full story of what motivated and animated him. Perhaps that provides a clue as to what might be in it and why ABC News, so far, has decided to hide the manifesto.

It were better they just burned the thing without reading it. Publicizing it just gives him the posthumous glory that was his motivation for doing the deed and tickles the dreams in other psycho heads..
Maybe there’s anti-Semitism in the manifesto they don’t want to get out. I am hearing rumors that Alison Parker’s family is really Jewish (former family name might be ‘Bar-Kahn’).
Black people hating on Jews is nothing new.
If I am correct about that seems to me the victims' families have a good case to sue the aforementioned groups using the doctrine of vicarious liability.
The Daily Mail has a lot more detail today. Supposedly the shooter thought Parker was racist because she said “swing by” instead of “stop by” and talked about “going out into the field.” http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3213821/The-inoffensive-everyday-phrases-used-anchor-Alison-Parker-earned-death-sentence-Flanagan-deemed-racist.html
No race angle here, no sir.
After redacting occurs.
The manifesto likely included some very nasty material, too much for the average citizen to comprehend. Therefore it must be kept hidden from public view.
They should burn it and bury the ashes with him.
I would rather they stuff it in his mouth and bury it with him.
(I would normally say shove it up his rear but he would have liked that)
But I am sure forensic psychologists see it as a gold mine of research.
I don’t disagree with you but I doubt ABC is withholding it for that reason. My guess is that it reads like an Obama speech.
It is not in the interest of the agenda subscribed to by ABC News to release the text of that “manifesto” - it makes crazy black homosexual killers look, well, like they come up to the very worst expectations the stereotype seems to imply.
Rather like Dylann Roof. Apparently the rhetoric is pretty similar in both “manifesto” screeds. Only the names of the races involved are changed.
Does this mean the Rainbow Flag, the gay pride banner, should soon undergo the same fate as the Northern Virginia battle standard flag?
“””I think you can go to any of the race-grievance industry websites or google comments of the Obama-Holder demagogues to get the sources””””
Black panthers will have it framed and hanging on the wall at their headquarters.
But isn't there professional courtesy or gentleman’s agreement that materials should be shared amongst the media outlets?
What's to stop some other network to retaliate in kind in the future?
My thoughts, too. It’s like the Kaczynski (sp?) rant some years ago. The Left loved it and played it, I think, to get recruits for more of same.
>>I don’t disagree with you but I doubt ABC is withholding it for that reason. My guess is that it reads like an Obama speech.
Yep. It probably even quotes Obama a few times.
I think I heard Rush Limbaugh (or maybe Mark Steyn I am not sure) say the murderer Flanagan aka Bryce Williams praised the Columbine and Virginia Tech killers.
They won’t release it, Flanagan was an Obama supporting, racist homo who hated white people and made that perfectly clear in his manifesto..had Flanagan praised Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh they would have released his writings but since he’s everything the media feared(Obama lover, black, gay) that manifesto will be burned and you will never hear of it again
I don’t necessarily agree with this but in this analysis there are clear problems with the entire narrative surrounding this shooting incident.
The theory lays out some interesting conceptual concerns and an overall pattern of public manipulation:
When...1..2....3.....4........1000000000000000hours later
Here’s something else ABC should divulge: the killer contacted the network more than a week before his rampage, to pitch a story idea. Exactly what was said, who did he talk to, and did his “pitch” cause any concerns? And if it did, why didn’t they bother to contact authorities? It’s a virtual certainty that the ABC staffer who spoke with the shooter had caller ID on his phone and the number could be easily traced.
Obviously, any TV newsroom gets its share of crank calls. But most of the nuts—and I dealt with a few during my days as a journo—don’t couch their comments in terms of a story pitch; they usually tell you a UFO has landed in their back yard, or their spouse and/or boss has conspired to plant a mind control chip in their brains. Flanagan told them he wanted to pitch a story, which indicated he was in the biz, or knew enough lingo to get their attention.
In any case, ABC either ignored his call, or they were waiting for him to call in again. They never bothered to phone the authorities until after Flanagan had snuffed out two innocent lives.
Which brings us to the other question ABC must answer: after receiving his “manifesto,” how long did it take them to link the screed to the nut who called on the phone. The amount of time required will give you some idea of how much attention was paid to the original call. It would also be helpful to know if he knew someone at the bureau, or simply called out of the blue and got himself connected to the assignment desk.
Then again, ABC is too busy advancing the gun control agenda—and besides, they don’t want to admit any possible culpability in the rampage.
