Virginia Shooting: Awful
There’s nothing to be gained from making some kind of political comment about this thing, or watching any videos, or naming the crazy scumbag who did it. It’s just sad.

Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 8/26/2015 @ 6:51 pmBut that didn’t stop ol’ Josh Earnest from immediately trying to link this to the need for new gun laws or for his boss, the Dear Leader, to later call for gun control AND tell us to quit being obsessed with terrorism. Quite a Daily Double, even by the standards of Barack Obama.
JVW (ba78f9) — 8/26/2015 @ 6:55 pmMaybe to be complete fair I should say that Obama intimated that we shouldn’t be so obsessed with terrorism. My comment makes it sound like his was explicit, which he was not.
JVW (ba78f9) — 8/26/2015 @ 6:56 pmThere might be good to be gained by condemning the practice of equating supposed “virtual” violence in the way of words with actual violence in the way of deeds.
I only blame the criminal. But I want to punch people in the face who talk about the justifiable rage in the community.
Which may seem to be an oxymoron, and we can talk about that, too.
I’m only guessing at this point but I bet this guy suffered from “justifiable rage.” Nobody involved actually did anything to him. He was just butt hurt from life. And life, at least in terms of the LHMFM we have here, told him his butt hurt was justified.
Steve57 (3b2e7d) — 8/27/2015 @ 4:36 amThe killer had a very poor work history, having been fired more than once previously due to poor job performance and volatile behavior. The man had anger issues. My guess is that there will be a lawsuit or three, because WDBJ-TV either did not do their due diligence, and unknowingly hired a man with a significant history of problems with previous employers, or knew about those problems, and hired him anyway.
The Dana who can see the big picture (f6a568) — 8/27/2015 @ 5:35 amCue up calls from Obama and Earnest for common sense gun control – ban scary looking semi-automatic assault style weapons!!!!!
Some lives do matter more. This will not be the same as many recently, the homosexual minority killer trying to start a race war and acting out against his perceived injustices does not fit Teh Narrative
JD (34f761) — 8/27/2015 @ 5:45 amGay black man in rural South commits suicide after systematic bullying by co-workers, employers, and local Sheriff and state police.

“The man had anger issues”
No he didn’t. The man had “I’m a black victim and I deserve what I want” issues. They were taught to him through public school, college and journalism school. They were reinforced by hanging with leftist propagandists and fellow democrats.
“My guess is that there will be a lawsuit or three, because WDBJ-TV either did not do their due diligence, and unknowingly hired a man with a significant history of problems with previous employers, or knew about those problems, and hired him anyway.”
My guess is that had he been denied employment on the basis of his psychological problems the also would have been a lawsuit or three based on him screaming “RACIST”, discrimination etc., and he most likely would have “received a settlement” as they say. Then the next guys, in fear of a discrimination suit would have hired him anyway.
So a black, gay, leftist, journalist, anti- gun, anti-white racist Obama loving pinko murdered two people to start a race war. I’m shocked!
Rev. Barack Hussein Hoagie (f4eb27) — 8/27/2015 @ 5:57 amWDBJ-TV had fired him a long time ago. There’s no there, there.

While I can see him thinking that way, if the TV station had known anything about his prior work history, they’d be able to defend themselves against such a claim easily. But a prospective employer is under no obligation to tell an applicant why he wasn’t hired, and due diligence should have resulted in Mr Flanagan’s résumé simply being thrown away; he should never have made it to the interview stage.
Apparently he was somewhat talented in his chosen field, but his personal problems kept getting in the way.

papertiger (c2d6da) — 8/27/2015 @ 8:45 amThe psycho killed a whole station the last time, so WDBJ in Virginia is getting off light.

Alastor (2e7f9f) — 8/27/2015 @ 11:40 amLast night on Megyn Kelly’s TV show she interviewed Alison Parker’s father. He assured Kelly, and by extension her viewers, that to honor Alison’s memory he’d work to keep guns out of the hands of violent disturbed individuals.
Tonight, Kelly blatantly misrepresented his position to portray him as advocating stricter gun control when he pointedly said his goal was to keep guns out of the hands of the mentally unbalanced.
Tonight Megyn Kelly twisted his words to suit a purpose he specifically wanted to distance himself from. That’s journalistic malpractice. It wouldn’t surprise me if he’s now refusing to take any more calls from so-called journalists.
ropelight (b6c46a) — 8/27/2015 @ 7:27 pmI watched it — and I never, ever watch her program — because I wanted to see how she dealt with Ramos. (I was not pleased.)
I found the segment you are talking about embarrassing, by the way.
I don’t see a big distinction between the two, and didn’t hear the portrayal she gave it tonight, but your summary of what he actually said last night is 100& accurate.
Patterico (3cc0c1) — 8/27/2015 @ 7:30 pmIs it too soon to say Trump told you so?
Icebergs right ahead!
papertiger (c2d6da) — 8/27/2015 @ 11:24 pmActually I believe some good can come from talking about this despicable murderer and his crimes. If only to prevent equally despicable individuals from controlling the narrative.
Like Barack Obama, as JD reminded us upthread.
Powerline has a couple of thought provoking posts up about it.
