Two Virginian journalists were shot to death live on air

[Pumpkin Ninja]

That's f*cked up.

I hope the victims get their justice.

EDIT: The shooter died in hospital not long after.

 

[Multiply]

In the youtube video you can see some blood squirting out of the guy onto the wood :sniff:

 

[Yubel]

So what's the moral of this story?
Don't fire desperate people?
Don't screw over others?
Don't depend on a job to support you forever?

 

[Ciao]

did he scream worth afterwards?

Notice how he waited until the camera was pointing at the reporters before shooting.

Gun crime has been dropping drastically since the 90's.

I was literally in the next town over, really not that far from there. When they couldn't find him, things went into lockdown.

New York and Chicago have some of the strictest gun control laws in effect.

" Chicago, IL — Inside the city limits of Chicago, not a single gun shop can be found — they’ve been outlawed. With is nearly 3 million residents, Chicago has the most stringent gun laws in the nation.

Gun laws were so strict, in fact, that in 2010, the US Supreme Court interveined saying the law was going to far. However, city lawmakers were able to “keep the ban” without “legally keeping the ban.”

The ban on assault rifles, a high-capacity magazine ban, and nowhere to purchase ammo makes Chicago one of the toughest places in the country to obtain a serviceable and firing weapon, legally.

With these strict laws, how on earth are there still guns in Chicago?

Gun violence in Chicago over the weekend reached near war zone proportions with 82 people being shot between 4 p.m. Thursday and 3:30 a.m. Monday morning. 15 of these shootings were fatal. Tragically, even a 7-year-old child’s life was taken by one of these bullets. "

" New York State Law does not require a hunting license to own or possess long guns or pistols. New York State Law does require a permit to own/possess a pistol. New York State Law does not require a permit to own or possess a long gun unless it falls under the definition of assault weapon. In 2013 New York State banned the sale and possession of assault weapons (guns that have certain features) NY SAFE Act.

(NOTE: New York City has its own set of laws and requires permits to own any long gun or pistol)

The Supreme Court of the United States DC v. Heller 554 U.S. 570 (2008) has ruled that "the right to bear arms" is an individual right and arms in common use are protected under the Second Amendment, and has further ruled that this right applies to residents in individual states in McDonald v. Chicago 561 U.S. 742 (2010).

In a 2012 ruling a federal appeals court upheld New York state’s law requiring gun owners who seek a concealed-weapon permit to prove a special need for protection; their decision in Kachalsky v. Westchester held that New York law does not violate the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. "

" * A 1993 nationwide survey of 4,977 households found that over the previous five years, at least 0.5% of households had members who had used a gun for defense during a situation in which they thought someone "almost certainly would have been killed" if they "had not used a gun for protection." Applied to the U.S. population, this amounts to 162,000 such incidents per year. This figure excludes all "military service, police work, or work as a security guard."[12] "

...

* Based on survey data from a 2000 study published in the Journal of Quantitative Criminology,[17] U.S. civilians use guns to defend themselves and others from crime at least 989,883 times per year.[18]



* A 1993 nationwide survey of 4,977 households found that over the previous five years, at least 3.5% of households had members who had used a gun "for self-protection or for the protection of property at home, work, or elsewhere." Applied to the U.S. population, this amounts to 1,029,615 such incidents per year. This figure excludes all "military service, police work, or work as a security guard."[19]



* A 1994 survey conducted by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that Americans use guns to frighten away intruders who are breaking into their homes about 498,000 times per year.[20]



* A 1982 survey of male felons in 11 state prisons dispersed across the U.S. found:[21]

• 34% had been "scared off, shot at, wounded, or captured by an armed victim"

• 40% had decided not to commit a crime because they "knew or believed that the victim was carrying a gun"

• 69% personally knew other criminals who had been "scared off, shot at, wounded, or captured by an armed victim"[22] "

The moral of the story is that they fired this guy for a reason. Normal, healthy people do not respond to being fired by shooting the people they used to work with.

 

[Natsu Shazneel]

What I don't get is that did they not see a guy who was pointing a gun at them? Even if they were at work the guy seemed to be right behinde the cameraman.

Shocking stuff. I am still at disbelief of this.

 

[Koah]

He sent documents to ABC news (23 pages) around 2 hours after the shooting.

He later shot himself and died in the hospital.

Well:

*Jeff Marks, Williams was “an unhappy man” with a “reputation as someone who had been difficult to work with… looking out for people to say things that he could take offense to.”

*None of which would be relevant, except that Williams specifically cited his identity as a factor in the killings. In a 23-page rambling letter sent to ABC News, Williams wrote that the Charleston church shooting in June should have provoked a race war: “Why did I do it? I put 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…You want a race war (deleted)? BRING IT THEN YOU WHITE …(deleted)!!!” According to ABC News, he claimed he had “suffered racial discrimination, sexual harassment and bullying at work,” that he had “been attacked by black men and white females,” and that he had been “attacked for being a gay, black man.”

* He says he even killed his cats in a forest "because of them."

Well he did have a few screws loose and had some kind of victim complex for being black and gay.

 

[Disquiet]

Oh great. Seems there were some racial motivations.

[Lia]

I've seen it in the news a few minutes ago.
Man... humans are totally sick. Shake my head.

 

[Tera Path]

Instead of wanting to say "Blah blah her right in the meow meow" they got shot instead.
Wow, what a messed up world this is.

 

[Corgi]

Shit, this is sweet. Last time I posted a video of someone being killed on live TV, I got banned for like 5 months.

 

[PT1990]

So he was a black racist?

 

[Anorien16]

So he was a black racist?

More like a unbalanced Black homosexual. He claimed he had to kill his cat in a forest because of 'them'.

 

[Aim64C]

He was a classic progressive basket case.

He was continually looking for any reason to construe racism or some kind of bias against his sexual perversions.

He then claimed that he was going to avenge the shooting in South Carolina.
