    Gunman Who Killed News Crew on TV Leaves Details of Grievances in Suicide Notes
    Michael Cantrell - August 26, 2015 2:29 pm


    Vester Lee Flanagan, also known as Bryce Williams, the man who shot and killed a reporter and photographer on live television this morning apparently had “suicide notes” that give some pretty scary details about his motive for carrying out this horrific murder.

    From ABC News: http://abcnews.go.com/US/shooting-al...ry?id=33336339

    A man claiming to be Bryce Williams called ABC News over the last few weeks, saying he wanted to pitch a story, and wanted to fax information. He never told ABC News what the story was. 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.”

    Later in the manifesto, the writer quotes the Virginia Tech mass killer, Seung Hui Cho, and 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”.
    Flanagan went on to say he suffered racial discrimination and bullying at work for being a gay, black man.

    He finished off his lunatic rant with “The church shooting was the tipping point…but my anger has been building steadily…I’ve been a human powder keg for a while…just waiting to go BOOM!!!”

    Clearly this man was out of his mind crazy, and if you look at his motives, we can see the divisive racial narrative promoted by the media taking it’s toll.

    Maybe we can put this junk aside for awhile and focus on just being human beings.

    Black Suspect Who Filmed Himself Killing White Former Colleagues Had History of Crying Racism
    Written By: Jennifer Burke August 26, 2015

    The suspect has been identified as 41-year old Vester Lee Flanagan, who on-air went by the name Bryce Williams. Flanagan, a black man, has claimed racism in the past about a former employer and he made similar allegations on Wednesday about Parker.

    In 2000, Flanagan sued his previous employer WTWC-TV, a North Florida TV station, claiming that his boss had called him a monkey. Flanagan settled the lawsuit for an undisclosed sum. After the shooting Wednesday morning, as he was being pursued by police, Flanagan took to Twitter and again made allegations of racism against Parker claiming that she had made a racist remark about him.


    He also claimed that Ward had gone to HR about him after working with him once.

    Flanagan allegedly not only filmed himself shooting Ward and Parker, he also posted the video on social media after the incident. Both Twitter and Facebook have taken down his accounts.

    Talking to FOX News, WDBJ President and General Manager Jeffrey Marks was asked about a description he had given about Flanagan as someone who was difficult to work with. FOX News’ Jenna Lee asked him to tell them a little bit about Flanagan’s time at the station. While being sure to state that no one had been charged or given due process, he did say that, regarding Flanagan, “It would be fair to say that others witnessed anger.”

    According to FOX News, there had been numerous complaints about Flanagan by co-workers. When he was released from the station, his bosses was afraid he might get violent. They cleared the news room when they decided it was time to let him go and called the police to escort him out.

    Flanagan shot himself on I-66. Though he was originally said to have died, police said that he was still alive, but was in very critical condition.

    In playing the victim himself and making Parker and Ward out to be the bad people with the accusations he has leveled, does Flanagan believe that gave him the right to murder them in cold blood? The real victims of this senseless act, Alison Parker and Adam Ward, are unable to defend themselves because their lives were taken away from them in an instant.

    The video of the horrific shooting, done live and on-air, is too graphic to post. However, there is another video circulating that ends just prior to the gun being fired. In this video, although it is at a whisper, you can hear who is believed to be Flanagan whisper “Bitch” just before Alison Parker was shot dead.

    UPDATE: Vester Lee Flanagan, the suspect in the on-air murder of Alison Parker and Adam Ward, has reportedly died from his self-inflicted wounds,

    White House: Gun Legislation Needed in Wake of Fatal News Crew Shooting
    by ABC News Videos 1:19 mins


    White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest says that Congress could take steps to reduce gun violence.

    the birthright citizenship laws in recent years. In 2013, the Dominican Republic’s Supreme Court upheld a legal change that stripped about 250,000 former Dominicans of their citizenship, because their parents weren’t citizens at the time of their birth.
