I hope they lynch his ass, maybe he was picked on at work maybe he was not but irrelevant you do not have the right to take someones life, plenty of people get fired and move on, I know, sorry if I sound harsh.

He walked right up to where they were conducting the interview and pointed his pistol at her for several seconds while standing right next to the cameraman. No one saw him, which was creepy. He then took a couple of steps back and fired.

A simple search on Yahoo! using the search string “muslim red house virginia terrorist” would have given you ample citations by now.

Doesn’t sound harsh at all. I was picked on mercilessly when I was in high school, but I never once considered violence against my tormenters. I prayed for them, to be honest.

“Harsh” punishment is what’s required here ... yet there are people as we correspond who are using all their skills and talents to keep this b@stard alive ... to save him from his self-inflicted injuries.

Here's his facebook page, restricted because I am not friend. But it does show him hugging on a girl. So the spurned gay lover angle is less likely.

Yep. Make him eat, sleep, and breathe at the behest of a country he obviously detests. As long as he lives the remainder of his days looking at striped sunlight, I am good with it.

Based on the distances between the victims in the approach video frames, I’d guess he was between 4-5 feet from the reporter when he opened fire and point blank to the cameraman.

What's important is not "studying him" or discovering his motivation ... what's important is that he dies quickly (and, hopefully, aware and in pain).

Guess this destroys my hobbies in amateur psychology and social work)

Less likely, but maybe the cameraman was hit on and responded he wasn't interested, perhaps forcefully, and the perp took that as a micro-agression, or something.

Ott, Camerman Wards fiance, was producing the news Wednesday morning, and it was her last day on the show. Ott was starting a new job in Charlotte and Ward was going to move with her. The news crew had a party for Ott that morning .....only to learn her fiance was shot and killed later today...

Blacks on twitter are getting angry at the media for the way they are “portraying the shooter”.

Yup. With brain-damage so that he's incontinent and impotent, and quadriplegic as well.

And the guards just don't care if he's sitting in his s**t for a day or two.
