The video the murderer posted legitimately made me feel ill. I wish I didn't watch it. What a fucking coward piece of shit.

Then he opens fire. Guarantee this video will be removed anytime so view it now. Such a tragedy and of course, reports already coming out that he was discriminated against and claimed the 2 victims were racists, etc.

this line of thinking is contradictory. you're implying that the guy who shot up the black church wasn't a crazy fucked up individual because his crime was race related.Belly35;1747232 wrote: Let not go into that knee jerk reaction mode of racist, hate crime and radical activites ... one crazy fucked up individual
people who do things like this are crazy fucked up people. period.
the antigun blowback on this will be outrageous, because people assume that if guns are gone then events like this will be gone. that's a logical thought that is inapplicable because these people aren't logical thinkers. they'll just find some other way to commit the horrific crimes.

Yeah, rarely get a reaction like that (but I've never seen anything like this if I had a choice not to)....caught the clip accidentally on tv - they played it right up to showing him pointing the gun at her. Made me want to throw up.like_that;1747276 wrote:The video the murderer posted legitimately made me feel ill. I wish I didn't watch it. What a fucking coward piece of shit.
I'd think that would make it extra hard on the victims families. Can't imagine why he filmed it other than to be notorious and/or to deliberately hurt their families more.
He had apparently never even had any sort of working relationship with either victim. Feel so bad for the families - so random, so callous and so young.

Roanoke area resident here. Today has been like a dream, and I don't have a connection to either reporter other than the cameraman is from the town I live in (Salem, where the D3 natl championship football game is held.) I work at the airport and saw this piece of trash's car in the parking lot today as the troopers and city police arrived to search the car and airport for him. Just a crazy, sad day.

Videos are very difficult to watch. Definitely going to take a while for the image of her getting shot to be gone from my brain. Sad news.

I watched the Live TV shot. Went to watch the video from the shooters POV and simply couldn't press play. Nope.like_that;1747276 wrote:The video the murderer posted legitimately made me feel ill. I wish I didn't watch it. What a fucking coward piece of shit.

Apparently that now makes you racist. According to an article I read, had they been black victims, you would have likely watched.SportsAndLady;1747299 wrote:I watched the Live TV shot. Went to watch the video from the shooters POV and simply couldn't press play. Nope.

For one, how does no one notice a man walking 3' away from them (for like 20 seconds), never mind the fact he has a gun pointed at you.
For two, if you got hit with 3-4 hollow point bullets, you'd drop instantly...not run away.
I don't know. Maybe it's the conspiracy theorists rubbing off on me...but this is the first one I can honestly say after watching that I felt looked staged.

She was doing a live news broadcast. It was her job to ignore things in the background.

Her job, yes...but still. The person she was interviewing? It's right in her line of site and at minimum her peripheral vision, if that was me...I'm looking over at who is creeping on us.
I'll drop it. Just an observation. Not saying it isn't real, just saying it doesn't look very real.

I watched the original camera man video and the shooter video a few times each, no emotional feeling, not traumatized by the situation. Many combat soldiers have little or no emotional feeling .. part of the price veterans paid.
I would say to many of you get use to this .. this will now be the trend of video killing via crazy delusional individual and gang violence
The violence will continue and the acts will be more blatant.
I hope the media does a deep investigation of this individual, so fair the information has been general soft knowledge.

Well, it is incredible how many times you are wrong. You are obviously incapable of understanding the hypocrisy of the media and the left when horrific, tragic and violent events occur. I'll leave it at that.

A tragedy is a tragedy. It's irrelevant if it impacts you or not.

I don't know.
it's a 9mm. none of the shots you can see in that video are at vitals. I'm just saying the shots you can see are 2 gut shots (possible that the 2nd gut shot was a miss because of how she was turning) and one to the back, but low. Depending on the bullet you're only talking 350-450 ft-lbs of enegy at the muzzle for a 9mm so at 4-6 feet where these shots were, it's safe to say they weren't instant kill shots.
