Is this him?

Innocuous phrases Alison Parker used every day to describe her job may have led to her death, simply because Vester Lee Flanagan thought they were racist.
The 24-year-old TV reporter who was shot and killed by the disgruntled ex-employee on Wednesday somehow angered him by using terms like 'swinging' by an address or going out into the 'field' while she was an intern at WDBJ.
It sheds further light on the murderer's erratic behavior, details of which have emerged since he callously gunned down Parker and cameraman Adam Ward live on breakfast TV.
Flanagan, 41, clashed repeatedly with photojournalists, belittling them in public and intimidating them with his aggressive and violent temper, before he was fired in 2013.
But now colleagues have revealed his assumptions were 'crazy' and even described one occasion where he believed someone bringing a watermelon in for fellow staff was a racist joke directed at him. They were included in a complaint filed by Flanagan while Parker was working at the Roanoke, Virginia, station in 2012.
The report, seen by the New York Post, that was written by news editor Greg Baldwin read: 'One was something about 'swinging' by some place; the other was out in the 'field'.'
Parker, who was referred to by her middle name as Bailey in the documents, was never disciplined for the remarks.
But they appear to be the 'racist' comments Flanagan was referring to when he Tweeted in the aftermath of the deadly shooting.
Ryan Fuqua, a video editor at WDBJ, told The Post: 'That's how that guy's mind worked. Just crazy, left-field assumptions like that.'
'He was unstable. One time, after one of our live shots failed, he threw all his stuff down and ran into the woods for like 20 minutes.'

Should have offered to make it up to them by buying them a fried chicken dinner at Churches chicken.

Crazy? He’s in line with the academic Left that calls them microagressions.

Is 37 years too late for a snappy comeback?
I’ve called people with snappy comebacks 45 years later.
They were ‘baked’ or ‘bakered’?
“Baker Acted” is a term familiar to most all Floridians who have lived here a couple of decades..................
Maybe he should have sold bananas instead..............
Good friend of mine from high school who I hadn't seen in 30 years was back in town at his parent's house one day. He was kind of a class-clown type anyway- and I knew he was still that way, so I was thinking on how to greet someone like that who I hadn't seen in that amount of time.
I decided to pretend that 30 years had been 30 minutes instead. I walk in, he's right there, I say, "Oh Hi" and start talking to his mom. It was clear when he comically deflated and started laughing that he'd had some witty repartee planned and I just blew it out the window.
Still chuckling.
I don’t think he was paranoid or psychotic.
He was self centered and egomaniacal.
and evil.
I did not say he was paranoid or psychotic.
I said he exhibited paranoid psychotic behavior.
There is a distinct difference.
Roanoke shooter: Hater of heterosexuals and whites. Ban the "rainbow" gay flag -- one of which was found in Vester's squalid residence.
This isn't just redundant, it's re-redundant. Or, maybe that's redundant-dundant.
