   ...is the umpteenth example of how easy it is for deranged   
   people to get ahold of deadly weapons"   
      
   At least they admitted that the black faggot racist prostitute   
   was deranged and thus mentally ill.   
      
   America, which in the past half-century has suffered at least   
   five times the number of mass shootings as any other nation on   
   Earth, has every reason to be inured to the steady trail of   
   blood caused by maniacs wielding deadly firearms.   
      
   But what transpired Wednesday morning on live television in   
   Roanoke, Va. — with first-person video taken by the murderer   
   then disseminated via Facebook and Twitter — should give pause   
   to even the most jaded among us.   
      
   And it should motivate any and every politician with even a   
   thimble of courage to take stronger steps to keep deranged   
   people from getting hold of firearms.   
      
   This time, a crazed gunman killed a 24-year-old television   
   reporter, Alison Parker, and a 27-year-old cameraman, Adam Ward,   
   in cold blood. Two more innocent lives were plucked from their   
   families and friends in an instant, by a few simple squeezes of   
   a trigger.   
      
   There’s a sickness in the heart of the nation, whereby personal   
   demons, a culture of violence and the perverse pursuit of even   
   the worst kind of fame intersect with far-too-easy access to   
   guns.   
      
   So remember Alison Parker. Remember Adam Ward. Mourn them.   
      
   As for the murderer, who later took his own life: We are in the   
   news business, and we therefore today must identify him as   
   Vester Lee Flanagan II, aka Bryce Williams. But we hope his name   
   is soon consigned to obscurity — along with the videos he took   
   and enthusiastically shared of his crime in progress, and his   
   twisted and racist manifesto — lest the horror of what he did   
   lead others to seek similar infamy.   
      
   Even as the perpetrator’s identity is swiftly forgotten, the   
   facts of what he did and how he did it must be understood   
   plainly, clinically, if the nation is ever going to wrestle with   
   this plague.   
      
   Flanagan was transparently unstable. He had race-fueled   
   workplace grievances against Parker and Ward. He thought the   
   world conspired to mistreat him because he was a gay black man.   
      
   In the document explaining his motivations faxed Wednesday to   
   ABC News, he called himself “a human powder keg for a while . .   
   . just waiting to go BOOM!!!!” In his telling, it was the   
   Charleston church massacre in June that pushed him over the edge.   
      
   Two days after that carnage, he went out and put a deposit on a   
   gun. Because even when you’re seething with murderous rage, it’s   
   easy to do that in America, and especially in Virginia.   
      
   Don’t take his word that his murders were a deranged retaliation   
   for Charleston. That gives him too much credit. His rambling   
   missive also reveals that he was an unhinged murder junkie who   
   revered Seung Hui Choi, the 2007 Virginia Tech mass murderer,   
   and the killers of Columbine.   
      
   What must be taken seriously is not his warped justification —   
   but the all-too-real possibility that another demented   
   individual with a gun will now find inspiration in Flanagan’s   
   sick snuff spectacle.

   Illegal alien Barack Hussein Obama seizes on this tragedy caused   
   by one of his mentally ill homosexual, black ardent supporters,   
   to wave the flags for more gun control.
