ABC still hiding TV shooter's manifesto: 'Killer Vester Flanagan was a big Obama supporter'
WND ^ | September 8, 2015 | Bob Unruh

Vester Flanagan, a.k.a Bryce Williams

When nine black people were murdered in June at a church in South Carolina, suspect Dylann Roof’s “manifesto” was widely publicized and analyzed immediately.

Along with his racist rants, photos emerged of him with a Confederate flag, prompting scores of demands to remove the banner from public places, and even reruns of the Old South-themed TV series “Dukes of Hazzard” were canceled.

Also, statues and other monuments to Southern Civil War-era leaders were targeted.

So what’s been the impact of the 23-page manifesto delivered to ABC News by Vester Flanagan, a black man who shot and killed two white former co-workers at a Roanoke, Virginia, television station?

Not much, because ABC still hasn’t released the manifesto.

Quoted a few lines? Yes.

But let the public see? No.

On Tuesday, two full weeks after the shooting, an ABC spokeswoman confirmed to WND the manifesto had not been released. She referred WND to a co-worker for further questions, but after submitting questions by email as instructed, WND never heard back from ABC.

At the Gateway Pundit, blogger Jim Hoft said there must be some reason.

“Killer Vester Flanagan was a big Obama supporter. But, you’d never know it from the liberal media,” he wrote. “The media is hiding Flanagan’s political leanings from the American public.

“ABC has yet to release Flanagan’s manifesto. It must be littered with embarrassing liberal propaganda.”

This shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. As soon as the reporter and her cameraman were buried, the story was dropped like a hot potato.

ABC is obviously hoping this will all go down the memory hole.

The story was changed from “Angry homo racist leftist kills two white reporters” to “Lets ban all guns” because they had to cover their a@@es..now if Flanagan had a Tea Party flag in his apartment instead of a “Rainbow flag” if he had Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin books in his apartment instead of Obama posters the narrative would have been different of course

I know, if it was Tea Party, it would have had a CBS special report by now.

However, I hope the reason is to not encourage other shooters. Part of the societal shunning process. These are sociopath killers, and nothing else.

If he was Tea Party, NRA activist, Confederate Flag owner etc.; they are tempted to report.

BUT they broadcast Dylan Roof’s affiliation and picture of the confederate flag in the first 10 minutes, far and wide on an endless cycle for 48 hours straight.

ABC will continue to be a tool of the left spewing misinformation and hiding the truth. This comes as no surprise.

He is the natural result of their leftist rants, and even he was a scum bag reporter, the bottom of their barrel.

But no republican would dare bring it up.

Carefully edited news with a slant by the alphabets is normal. 87% slant towards the left is their policy. Yes any hint of Tea Party affiliation would be a bonanza for them. The Democrat Ministry of Propaganda is all that they have become. Its beginning to show; “we can’t take it anymore!” as the sleeping public awakens from their trance.

Of course he was. He was like Bambi’s son that he never had.

Note to all the other psycho killers of the left- if you want anyone to read your pathetic manifesto, don’t send it to ABC.

What’s interesting here is that numbnuts’ “manifesto” would have been material to the case against him. Why is ABC News the only entity in possession of it?
