The cold-blooded Roanoke killer kept getting fired, kept threatening co-workers, and kept claiming he was the real victim.
Vester Lee Flanagan claimed in a suicide note Wednesday that June’s massacre of black parishioners at a South Carolina church was “the tipping point” that sent him on the path to murdering two journalists on live television Wednesday.
But in court papers and interviews with The Daily Beast, former colleagues describe Flanagan as a problematic employee, who was repeatedly reprimanded for his harsh treatment of coworkers, and complained racism was behind harsh evaluations of his work.
“He just had a history of playing the race card,” former WTWC anchor Dave Leval told The Daily Beast. “I know he did that in Tallahassee a couple of times…”
The day Flanagan was fired from a Virginia TV station in 2013, his bosses called 911 because of his volatile behavior—an incident captured on camera by Adam Ward, a man who would later become one of his victims.

White Reporters’ Lives Matters
Black, gay, Obama supporter — the profile of a real Hater.
Here is a symptom of what's wrong with our society.

yes, and there are plenty more like him.
Another crazy Obama supporter loses it.
The black in this country has learned that progress comes through the means of race ‘hustling.”
Wayne LaPierre was right.
He could have known the station’s routines and followed them to their first story.
His delusion regarding oppression because of his race and sexuality probably drove him over the edge. He actually began to believe the fantasy he created.
Plus, he wasn’t getting another job in TV. He had worn that out.
Plus they probably previously teased the story.
He must have been secretly angry at obama’s good fortune. I mean here is this black guy obama, a punk with less real life experience and talent than himself and he becomes president for two terms?
Well, obviously...
Yet another symptom of what's wrong with our society. The bullies have won.
Yes, and there was a time that being gay was considered a mental disordered - which, if it was true today, would have prohibited him from (legally) purchasing a hand gun.
