In the 23-page document faxed to ABC News, the writer says “MY NAME IS BRYCE WILLIAMS” and his legal name is Vester Lee Flanagan II.” He writes what triggered today’s carnage was his reaction to the racism of the Charleston church shooting:
“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…”
“What sent me over the top was the church shooting. And my hollow point bullets have the victims’ initials on them.”
It is unclear whose initials he is referring to. He continues, “As for Dylann Roof? You (deleted)! You want a race war (deleted)? BRING IT THEN YOU WHITE …(deleted)!!!” He said Jehovah spoke to him, telling him to act.
Later in the manifesto, the writer quotes the Virginia Tech mass killer, Seung Hui Cho, calls him “his boy,” and expresses admiration for the Columbine High School killers. “Also, I was influenced by Seung–Hui Cho. That’s my boy right there. He got NEARLY double the amount that Eric Harris and Dylann Klebold got…just sayin.’”
In an often rambling letter to the authorities, and family and friends, he writes of a long list of grievances. In one part of the document, Williams calls it a “Suicide Note for Friends and Family.”
—He says has suffered racial discrimination, sexual harassment and bullying at work —He says he has been attacked by black men and white females —He talks about how he was attacked for being a gay, black man
“Yes, it will sound like I am angry...I am. And I have every right to be. But when I leave this Earth, the only emotion I want to feel is peace....”
“The church shooting was the tipping point…but my anger has been building steadily...I’ve been a human powder keg for a while…just waiting to go BOOM!!!!”
Black 6’3” 250 pounders are such easy targets for bullies.
Whoa.
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?
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.
Brutal
