Reporter + cameraman shot to death on live TV

[Great_Story_Bro]

Felt sick to my stomach. Still do.

[Rican240sx]

His sex for sale pics are going to do him great when he gets to meet Tryone and them in prison.

[iifymbro]

right here, sad with the rest of you. not sure how you can interpret this as a gun issue. believe it or not, legislation cannot protect you from psychopaths.

Yeah if he had hacked them up with a axe bought in the local hardware store are we gunna try to ban axes?

[IfIRuledTheMisc]

Everything about his twitter page seems fake.

First of all it looks fairly new.
2nd of all, 1 follower for someone that was on the news?
Every post is just pictures of him until today.

[LordBroski]

If they were indeed racist, I don't really have any sympathy for them. If you're going to hate on people over such things, don't be surprised if they flip their chit on you. Shooting them obviously wasn't the best course of action, but, we're here now and what's done is done.

[Niko49ers]

Where is 2nd part POV video?

[sauced92]

wow i actually posted the original video in this thread

Im surprised

[goodcupcakes]

I don't believe all the outrage. If you were to believe every person on ******** you would think the world is filled with saints. People love to watch this chit and then complain later so they can humblebrag about their moral superiority. That is true *******ry.

[MikeDavies84]

I think most people who murder are highly narcissistic psychopaths, and once they lose their looks or realize that they are a failure, its on like donkey kong.

[meep316]

I'll bite - I posted the pic here, but at no point did I say it was 100% him. I've since edited the pictures out.

Reports were coming out and nobody knew what the hell was going on, this was someone who matched the description and knew the victims, and it was potentially a piece of information at a time when we didn't have any. You can't avoid speculation, and it was very quickly debunked. Get over yourself.

If you weren't claiming it was him then my post wasn't directed at you. Get over yourself.

[abstractone]

damn those pics really embody why lift when its all about the face

[StiffSproles]

Not justifying it BY any means, but it must have been serious with EEOC complaints. Know people who have done this for racism/sexism/disability.
.

Rally dude? Racism when this dude is clearly a psychopath. His employers saw it and his crew probably didn't feel safe with him around...and for a reason. Look at what this monster did. Yes, only a monster is capable of not only killing these people cold blood, but posting it online like a true sick fuk.

[veggie530]

I'm not even going to bother going into all of that. If someone is potato enough to take this situation, in its early moments, and try to use it as a catapult for gun legislation then they're sick in the head and demented. Not to mention stupid if they advocate for a total gun ban in the U.S..

Thoughts to the families of the victims. Psychopaths gonna psychopath.

[eltoro24]

lol cmon brah, its not a fukin normal thng to get a gun pointed at you, while reporting

Reporter and interview person prob only saw the Camera Lights that stuff is bright. Plus they were in the zone. Tunnel vision.

Vid doesn't get to me really. Its more creepy then anything.

Who knows though.

Still a total *******.

I'm going to just point something out from earlier in the thread, regarding the other guy who was fired, Orlando Salinas.

http://newsguardians.com/wdbj7-accus...ndall-coverup/

"In a public statement, Salinas described his investigation into allegations made about well-known local lawyer Daniel L. Crandall and WDBJ's attempt to stop his investigation....Salinas is expected to detail the events surrounding his departure from WDBJ7, the alleged cover-up and the evidence he says alleges 'years of sexual, physical, emotional and financial abuse' of at least two females by Crandall."

This interview was apparently scheduled to take place at 8:00 am this morning, less than two hours after the shooting, and seemingly involved allegations by Salinas that WDBJ was covering up child molestation in order to protect a lucrative advertiser.

I'm not alleging some massive conspiracy here, but it does sound like there were bizarre, and possibly relevant, interpersonal problems at WDBJ that may have contributed to this already unstable guy going completely batchit.

[El Fuerte]

People wondering how was she still running after getting hit.LMAO welcome to real life

those are the same idiots that say did the police have to shoot him 5 times? police brutality

[Roldz]

Dude, what the fukk. What. The. Fukk.

[hermanmunster2]

I wonder what his username was.

[OffwhiteBrah]

CNN is being so damn careful not to say he is the killer. And he may not be the guy who posted on ******** and Twitter.

[DatPass]

According to the FBI even a heart shot won't drop someone instantly, they've still got 10-30 seconds worth of fight in them.

It's extremely hard to just kill someone instantly without hitting them in the head, even when you watch videos of someone going down instantly from center mass shot's it's not usually instant death, just shock putting them down.

There's a good article from years back that addresses it from the point of view of fencing/dueling but it applies nearly equally to gunfights:

If you want to put someone down dead instantly you need to well and truly **** them up, it's the reason why the FBI concluded the whole caliber debate is bullchit and that only shot placement counts. You need to destroy vital stuff.

Do you have another link?

[MikeKK]

Suspect is being chased. Disgruntled former employee.

Uwot m8? So he shoots random colleges instead of the boss? Strong logic.

[vsukicker]

If they were indeed racist, I don't really have any sympathy for them. If you're going to hate on people over such things, don't be surprised if they flip their chit on you. Shooting them obviously wasn't the best course of action, but, we're here now and what's done is done.

are you retarded?

[kratosbrah]

are you retarded?

he's extraordinarily bitter against white people

[shock6906]

Strong WTF @ the first-person video.

[Human.Shield]

fake and gay

[Niko49ers]

Nvm found it

Not the right course of action, but if you get fired from a company on some **** you didn't do, you lose your livelihood, you would probably flip your ****. Employees get revenge, "go postal", etc.

Plenty of times "good" people steal because they are poor or something.

Remember that movie John Q? Guy flipped his ****.

Human sanity can be fragile at times and we can be savage towards each other. This was an extremely personal attack.

Wish more details to come out. Curious about what this 23 page manifesto is about.

[SubWooferCooker]

One of the most ****ed up things i've ever seen tbh, Makes me want to cherish the life i have even more and not take anything for granted. Such a shame that after a tragic event people still come on here and argue over BS and start bringing race etc into it.

My heart goes out to the family's of the victims and i for one am going to use this tragedy as an opportunity to be a better kinder person to everybody i meet, Im outta this thread now as it appears to be going downhill and don't want to get dragged into more negativity, lifes to short man.

[djfuzzy]

Dem posts delete...damn.

RIP to the victims, I hope their families can find some peace through all of this.
