“Why did I do it? I put down a deposit for a gun on 6/19/15. The Church shooting in Charleston happened on 6/17/15…”

There you have it. Once again the Confederate Flag claims another black life.

Seriously though.....No one close to him had any clue this POS was a homicidal maniac? Why hasn't the media focused on him and those who knew him? What was his behavior like these past few weeks and months? Are his friends (if he had any) "shocked?" Anyone saying "he was such a good boy." Where are the reporters with cameras shoved in the faces of his family members.

Should not journalists be interested in the facts leading up to these murders rather than his so called victimhood? The media has apparently decided who this POS was is less important than whoring for gun control?

The left uses ‘every’ media incident that takes off as a means of political staging......it’s NEVER about the danger or the loss of life....they have no conscious regarding anything except their own agenda and what they stand to gain individually by what they promote.

Does that imply theTallahassee television station WTWC settled? Tried again with WDBJ, and that suit got dismissed.

I wonder if he had ever filed other lawsuits?

We had a patient from jail admitted for sickle cell crisis. Awaiting trial for armed robbery. He was a Jehovah’s Witness. He refused a transfusion. Why? His mama said it was a sin.

It took everything I had to keep from asking him what his mama said about sticking a gun in someone’e face while taking their money.

CNN reported that he dropped his car at the airport a MONTH ago and then rented the car he was apprehended in.

Everyone is walking round my office watching this woman’s murder on their phones. I keep hearing the screams and gunshots over and over. People are such idiots.
