   ROANOKE, Va. — The words are a part of everyday conversation —   
   “swinging” by an address and going out in the “field.”   
      
   But in the twisted mind of Virginia gunman Vester Lee Flanagan   
   II, they were pure racism — and saying them became a death   
   sentence for Alison Parker.   
      
   The 24-year-old white reporter, who was murdered on live TV   
   along with her cameraman, used the phrases as an intern at ­WDBJ   
   TV in Roanoke in 2012, according to an internal complaint filed   
   by Flanagan, who was black.   
      
   “One was something about ‘swinging’ by some place; the other was   
   out in the ‘field,’?” said the Jan. 21 report by assistant news   
   director Greg Baldwin, which refers to Parker as Alison Bailey   
   (her middle name).   
      
   Parker was never disciplined over the remarks, but Flanagan   
   never forgot them.   
      
   Hours after gunning her and Adam Ward down during their   
   broadcast Wednesday, Flanagan revealed in tweets that the   
   comments were still fresh in his mind.   
      
   “Alison made racist comments,” Flanagan posted while he was on   
   the run from cops.   
      
   “They hired her after that??” he wrote.   
      
   But colleagues said that it was all in Flanagan’s head and that   
   Parker was as far from racist as they come.   
      
   “That’s how that guy’s mind worked. Just crazy, left-field   
   assumptions like that,” Ryan Fuqua, a video editor at WDBJ, told   
   The Post.   
      
   “[Those words are] just common, everyday talk. [But] that was   
   his MO — to start s-?-t,” Fuqua ­explained. “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.”   
      
   Flanagan made the accusations a month before he was fired in   
   February 2013. The document was part of his unsuccessful   
   discrimination lawsuit against the television station.   
      
   Trevor Fair, a 33-year-old cameraman at WDBJ for six years, said   
   that the words Parker used are commonplace but that they would   
   routinely set Flanagan off.   
      
   “We would say stuff like, ‘The reporter’s out in the field.’ And   
   he would look at us and say, ‘What are you saying, cotton   
   fields? That’s racist,’?” Fair recounted.   
      
   “We’d be like, ‘What?’ We all know what that means, but he took   
   it as cotton fields, and therefore we’re all racists.”   
      
   “This guy was a nightmare,” Fair said. “Management’s worst   
   nightmare.”   
      
   Flanagan assumed everything was a jab at his race, even when a   
   manager brought in watermelon for all employees.   
      
   “Of course, he thought that was racist. He was like, ‘You’re   
   doing that because of me.’ No, the general manager brought in   
   watermelon for the entire news team. He’s like, ‘Nope, this is   
   out for me. You guys are calling me out because I’m black.’?”   
      
   Flanagan even declared that ­7-Eleven was racist because it sold   
   watermelon-flavored Slurpees.   
      
   “It’s not a coincidence, they’re racist,” he allegedly told Fair.   
      
   A black former classmate of Parker at James Madison University   
   was stunned by the allegations, saying Parker was kind to people   
   of all races during their time at the Harrisonburg, Va., school.   
      
   “When I took [my journalism] job, she recommended me,” Jessica   
   Albert told the Associated Press. “She did that for me, so she’s   
   definitely not a racist.”   
      
   Meanwhile, authorities revealed Thursday that Flanagan planned   
   on getting away after the murders, and that suicide was a last   
   resort.   
      
   Inside the rental car where he killed himself during a police   
   pursuit, cops found a briefcase with three license plates, a   
   wig, a shawl, an umbrella, sunglasses, a black hat, and a to-do   
   list.   
      
   Cops also discovered a Glock 19 pistol with multiple magazines   
   and ammunition, a white iPhone, several letters and notes, a   
   “powder residue” and “bodily fluids.”   
      
   Police identified Flanagan as a person of interest in the   
   murders when he sent an unnamed friend a text message “making   
   reference to having done something stupid,” according to a   
   Virginia State Police search-warrant affidavit.   
      
   At Flanagan’s house in Roanoke, cops found evidence that he was   
   a self-absorbed slob who indulged in gay porn in his spartan   
   living space.   
      
   They found unwashed sex toys, cat feces and several pictures of   
   himself on his refrigerator, according to the Daily Mirror.   
      
   Prior to their search, officers entered the residence through   
   the balcony, fearing Flanagan might have left booby traps.   
      
   Images obtained by the British newspaper show that his home —   
   just 500 yards from the WDBJ studios — had little furniture   
   aside from a leather couch and chair.   
      
   A neighbor said Flanagan was often “rude and arrogant” and that   
   he would throw cat feces at apartment doors during disputes.
