Shootings! Shootings! Shootings! Today's and tomorrow's shootings!

The Clash would've HATED the Headband!

[Liza's Headband]

I agree that "praise" is too strong of a word, but he is endorsing by reposting and I'm going to push back against that. 

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

Babygirl, you push back against everything.

[Liza's Headband]

I know. I'm a contrarian by nature. Around these parts it's called a "troll." I strongly disagree with that characterizing but so be it. People can call me whatever the hell they want. It doesn't change anything. It's an anonymous chat board... Not the real world.  

[FindingNamo]

Nothing ever changes with you. You are a compulsive crap stirrer with serious boundary issues who causes messes that blow up and then you move on and start new messes. 

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

Your real word must be sad.  

[Liza's Headband]

When you making your living as a full-time consultant who can set his own work schedule? Not really. It's a quite happy world, actually. xoxo

[FindingNamo]

Your happiness oozes through your every post.

Another heartbreaker...this time a 3-yr girl in DC was shot to death by a 7-yr old boy.

Three-year-old girl fatally shot in D.C. by child playing with a gun

[Borstalboy]

Not about a shooting, but still germane to the conversation: How many deaths would have happened if this asshole had a gun?

[javero]

How many times will he get away with attempted murder?

[South Florida]

This issue has me incredulous.  So many people I know sport their guns, sport them proudly, and no massacre is going to change their minds.  They know how cowardly they seem to people like me.  I hope like minded people in here speak out to their gun owning friends and mention to them how you feel.  If massacres don't change their minds maybe humiliation will, although I doubt it.

 Virginia TV station reporter, photographer killed in shooting 

[tazber]

I was just coming to post that Phyllis.

 

It was on live tv no less.

 

Shooter is still at large.

Here is the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbG7uFxVfnY

 

Warning... Might be disturbing to some but it is SFW and is not graphic. 

[Reginald Tresilian]

No thanks.

[Liza's Headband]

You fortunately do not see anything but it is still horrifying to watch and listen to. May these two journalists rest in peace. 

[PalJoey]

 

I'll pass.

 

[Huss417]

Hopefully the video will be pulled from most sites. I know not easy to do in this day and age.

Alison Parker's boyfriend -- who is also a reporter for WDBJ -- posted this heartbreaking message on his official Facebook page, along with some beautiful photos of the two of them:

 

We didn't share this publicly, but Alison Parker and I were very much in love. We just moved in together. I am numb. We were together almost nine months. It was the best nine months of our lives. We wanted to get married. We just celebrated her 24th birthday. She was the most radiant woman I ever met. And for some reason she loved me back. She loved her family, her parents and her brother. I am comforted by everyone atWDBJ7. We are a family. She worked with Adam every day. They were a team. I am heartbroken for his fiancee. She is our morning show producer. This is unconscionable. But I WILL share her story because it is one full of life, dreams, love and amazing journalism. She just finished working on an incredible special on child abuse and it was fantastic. We will get through this and there will be justice. Your thoughts and prayers mean the world to me.

 

What a senseless, ugly tragedy.

The shooter is a disgruntled former employee, who is now being chased in a pursuit on the highway. 

 

[tazber]

My heart is breaking.

[SNAFU]

Liza, it is in very bad taste to post the shootings. You have once again proved your lack of tact.

[Liza's Headband]

SHUT THE F*CK UP. PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THIS COUNTRY AND THE SENSELESS DEATHS THAT ARE OCCURRING.

 

The shooter, Vester Flanagan, has just posted firsthand video of the shooting and is claiming responsibility. He claims the reporter made racial comments to him. I hope HE ROTS IN HELL.

Remember earlier in this thread when you demanded pledges and oaths that posters SWEAR they didn't want dead cops?  Nothing you add to threads is ever what the situation calls for. Just ask Chris Caggiano. 

[Reginald Tresilian]

"SHUT THE F*CK UP," he explained . . .
