tzijlstra Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 It appears we live in the age of shock. Really hate someone? Execute them (the reporter, a 24 year old woman) live on TV, shoot her cameraman (27, managed to get a shot of the murderer before dying) and whoever they happen to be interviewing (A lady who is being operated on a bullet in her back). The reason? The murderer felt picked on by the reporter at work. Yes, he worked at the same station. Looking for a UK source as I got this info from a Dutch news site.

martin6 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I see the suspect is black so I assume this will be treated as racist. White lives matter ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonJeremy Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Bbc said that the women had once made a racist comment to the gun man. So he killed her and some others. Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cgksheff Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Not only was the live feed captured on air, but the gunman was also recording himself and posted the video on Twitter & Facebook before attempting suicide. One messed-up guy there. Poor cameraman has his back to the gunman. Didn't stand a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woggle Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 My friend in America sent me the whole video this morning, I don't know how she didn't see him he was there at least 30 seconds waving the gun around before he fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delayed Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Another shooting in America...seems to be a common occurrence. What's disgusting me particularly (as well as the shooting) is that I had the option of viewing the video footage through Facebook and a well-known newspaper online article. There's something unsettling about the ease of watching 2 people getting gunned down like it was any other video you could view on Youtube. It seems like we are living in a time where everything we do is captured on video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, when ISIS were beheading people they'd kidnapped, apparently the videos were uploaded to Facebook or some other social network. Facebook didn't even take the truly abhorrent videos down. Sick. I cannot for the life in me understand why anyone would want to watch someone being beheaded, or in this case gunned down....Some people are just ghoulish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerousedd Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 He also tweeted his motives - claiming the female reporter made racist comments towards him, and the cameraman had reported him to HR for some reason. The killer also once sued another station for racism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
