tshile Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 reading the dude's twitter is weird... he just posted pictures of himself in weird poses (or no pose at all) and random crap like here's my bedroom. apparently he was fired because he always blamed things on racism... even sued the station but the case was dismissed. looks like another person with mental issues slipped through the cracks. at least the damage was not as bad as others...

Dan T. Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 The Roanoke station, WDBJ- 7 said Bryce Williams (real name Vesper Lee Flanigan) was fired 2 years ago. WDBJ- 7 Feneral Manager Jeffrey Marks: "Vester was an unhappy man." "He quickly gathered a reputation as someone who was difficult to work with." "He was looking out for people saying things he could take offense to. After many incidents of his anger coming to the fore, we dismissed him, and he did not take that well. We had to call the police to escort him from the building." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingGibbs Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Props indeed. Unfortunately it's being shared all over youtube and it doesn't appear those are being taken down. Yet. Do not understand why folks think they want to see something like this. Death in real life is not interesting or anything else to see. It sucks. Kind of disturbing that people will continue to watch these videos if they're available,(leaving me wondering if they aren't disturbed a little themselves). That and why give the **** apparently what he wanted as well. Lot's of views. RIP to those two young people and their families and friends. Social media plays a huge role in the deterioration of today's society. It's become nothing less then a propaganda machine for the assholes of the world.

lovetoaster Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Do not understand why folks think they want to see something like this. Death in real life is not interesting or anything else to see. Agreed. I don't want to see anything that results in anyone's death. I have no interest in watching these videos, or even something like a car crash, like the one that the took Justin Wilson's life in the Indy race a few days ago. I was listening to CNN on TuneIn radio earlier this morning and I took my headphones out when they played the video. I did not even want to hear it.

zoony Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 "Alison made racist comments," one tweet from Williams' now-suspended account read. "Adam went to hr on me after working with me one time!!!" said another. Both tweets were posted hours after the murders had occurred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan T. Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 Seeing both Flanagan and Flanigan as spellings. Virginia State Police confirm he is still alive. "Alison made racist comments," one tweet from Williams' now-suspended account read. "Adam went to hr on me after working with me one time!!!" said another. Both tweets were posted hours after the murders had occurred. The Jeff Marks, the station manager, said that Flanagan filed an EEOC complaint against the station after he was fired. After an investigation, the EEOC dismissed the complaint out of hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mursilis Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Good I hope they can bring him back so he can be given proper punishment for his crimes, namely solitary confinement for life. Absolutely horrible what he did. Personally, I think it's better if it ends with him dead. I'd think that would save the state some money and time, and possibly save the victims' family and friends some grief. It would also curtail the slim possibility of him going with some sort of insanity defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would also curtail the slim possibility of him going with some sort of insanity defense. Agreed. This guy is all-in with whatever ridiculous things he believes. When he finally gets charged with a crime, he's not going to plead out, and he basically has his own forum (at trial) to air whatever stupidity would likely spew out of his mouth.

Going Commando Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 For about 60 years or so. I don't know. If those were my family members, I would want to cut off his ****ing head myself. I just don't want him to be the one that gets to pull the trigger and take the easy way out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't been in their shoes, so I have no idea. I do suspect, though, that if this guy goes to trial, it'll probably become a circus that will consume prosecutors' time and money, both of which could be better spent on other crimes.

Springfield Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Just let him die. Don't give him a name and let him become infamous. That's the problem with social media. We will now know everything about this person's life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan since a Fetus Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Watching that crap only contributes to this sort of thing. We live in an attention whore, focus on me now, society and these tragic events are all about attention. We need to shut them off completely when they happen. Take away the impetus. What a sad, violence glorified time we live in. I'm guessing he's hoping for a televised shoot out where he can do down in a blaze of glory. They need to catch him alive and lock him in solitary forever. I agree and now that he is caught or dead or whatever, they need to avoid saying his name, showing his picture and avoid giving him any more press for this disgusting act. Prop up those who were directly affected and lets remember them and the good things they accomplished with their lives. Unfortunately, that will never ever happen.
