After Shooting, Alleged Gunman Details Grievances in ‘Suicide Notes’
ABCNews.com ^ | August 26, 2015 | PIERRE THOMAS, JACK CLOHERTY, JACK DATE and MIKE LEVINE

A man claiming to be Bryce Williams called ABC News over the last few weeks, saying he wanted to pitch a story, and wanted to fax information. He never told ABC News what the story was.

This morning, a fax was in the machine (time stamped 8:26 a.m.)almost two hours after the shooting. A little after 10 a.m., he called again, and introduced himself as Bryce, but also said his legal name was Vester Lee Flanagan, and that he shot two people this morning. While on the phone, he said authorities are “after me,” and “all over the place.” He hung up. ABC News contacted the authorities immediately and provided them with the fax.

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."

He IS the gunman/murderer!

He filmed it and posted it.

He is GUILTY!

He is NOT “alleged”...anything!

Also felt he was discriminated against for being a “Black gay male” typical left wing loon, blaming everyone else for their problems

Maybe America has a short attention span. Let’s recap...

Two weeks ago Louis Farrakhan called for blacks to rise up and murder whites.

And the AG of Florida said it was ‘free speech’.

Black on white hate crime won’t be addressed by the media. go figure. Word is this killer was also a queer—deranged is an understatement.

Since 0ver 80% of homosexuals were molested as children, he’s probably right about being a victim.

He just went after innocent targets.

I wonder if the victims’ White Priv balance can now be considered to be paid in full.

Ignorant, dead black murderous trash. Not even worth a garbage bag. Every cop in the country should inscribe HIS name on their bullets. EVERYONE- beware mean-ass psychotic people where you work. Don’t excuse them, don’t understand them- AVOID THEM and protect yourself at all times.

He claimed that Dylan Roof, the Carolina church shooter, triggered a race war and he was reciprocating.

Common-sense thinking people do not do this. Do not think leave your homes unarmed, FReepers. These nutbags are out there and want to hurt us.

Actually LIBERALISM is a mental illness..funny how these same journalists who hate guns now have more added security..and reading on twitter left wing loons praising the shooter as some kind of hero reminds me of Christopher Dorner, the media, the left, they made excuses for him too..its never his fault, its the fault of our racist society, its the fault of the gun
