“The (Charleston) 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!!!!” ABC News is playing peek-a-boo with Vester Lee Flanagan’s (AKA Bryce Williams’) Unabomber-esque manifesto he sent them before tracking down and murdering Alison Parker and Adam Ward in front of two cameras this morning. According to this ABC post, Flanagan/Williams fingers Dylann Roof as the spark that touched off this pathetic explosion, but anyone claiming to admire the work of Eric Harris, Dylann Klebold and Seung–Hui Cho wasn’t running on a full tank to begin with . . .

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….”

How’s this for a feeling of peace?

“As for Dylann Roof? You (deleted)! You want a race war (deleted)? BRING IT THEN YOU WHITE …(deleted)!!!”

ABC and police are reportedly trying to authenticate the screed, but the complaints jibe with those he posted to his Twitter account and comments made by station employees regarding the now dead “disgruntled” employee. But as in all of these cases, the information will be released. Let’s see it sooner rather than later and look the psychosis directly in the eye and see Flanagan/Williams for the sick specimen he was.

  1. Was the deceased perp an SSRI drug user by any chance? SSRI drugs like Zoloft produce violent behavior in a small percentage of users. Check out ssristories.com — there are HUNDREDS of cases, but Congress doesn’t want to focus on the issue since there’s a lot of money in those drugs.

    • Or violent people tend to be depressed or anxious and are on SSRI’s defacto because doctors throw them around like candy…..

        • Don,
          A favorite factoid of my college Statistics teacher was “Its a statistical FACT that the more ice cream Americans eat, the more people in India die”.

          “Correlation is not necessarily causation.” and neither is a casual relationship.

          I worked in a mental institution in college for a few years and except for two patients all of the other patients regardless of diagnosis fully understood the difference between right and wrong. They just didnt care. Some quickly found out that inappropriate behavior got them more drugs and they didnt have to take responsibility for what they did.

    • How about Video Games? Want to blame them?

      Or Carrots! I’ll bet he ate carrots and that made him a murderer!

      Can it with the “let’s blame an inanimate object we don’t understand” crap.

      He had a manifesto. Drugs don’t make you write a manifesto, being F&!@#! in the head makes you write a manifesto.

      • I am with you on this one Brian. There are millions who use ” ” without a single problem or even to positive effect but because there was one person who used ” ” and people are killed then we should ban all ” ” to be on the safe side, you know for the children!!
        Now tell me how replacing “guns” with “SSRI” makes us any better or more credible than people like Bloomberg, Watts, or Brady

        • The difference is guns aren’t designed to mess with your brain chemistry like an SSRI is. You can blame an inanimate object when said object literally screws with your brain.

      • Listening to the Fox News talking heads tonight was disgusting. All of them seemed to be one step away from calling for more gun control. In particular, their rank ignorance about metal illness showed they would happily stigmatize anyone being treated for clinical depression as being “dangerous” and see their lives and property regulated by the state. What these “sensible” gun-controls will do is cause people who would benefit from psychiatric help to avoid seeking help. And what that will do so cause a few sick people who really should be medicated but aren’t to start thinking about harming themselves or others. And, of those, an even smaller percentage will act on those sick feelings and do actual harm.

        Megyn Kelly (who I’m already pissed at) seemed all set to join Shannon and the Moms until Dana Loesch gave her a lesson on the benefits of liberty, freedom, 2nd amendment rights, and the inescapable fact that all levels of government persistently fail to enforce gun-control laws that are already on the books. Dana also firmly and succinctly reminded Megyn that she’d used a gun to protect her life and most assuredly did not want that right further curtailed by government.

        Vester Flanagan didn’t shoot and kill those people because he was mentally. He killed them because he wanted to.

        Gun Up.

        • Trump doesn’t do much for me as a candidate, but he does express the frustration that a lot of people are feeling right now and he is exposing how phony FoxNews really is.

        • @GH
          “Vester Flanagan didn’t shoot and kill those people because he was mentally. He killed them because he wanted to.”

          Evil is a hard concept for some to understand or even accept. It is necessary for the Statist sheeple to have tangible proof that evil doesn’t exist, because with crazy people, the statist can cede personal responsibility for the theater of State protection.

      • THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RACE OR GUNS…ITS SSRI DRUGS…
        READ AND LEARN…

        Pharmaceutical companies and the Government don’t want you to know this…
        Every mass shooting over last 20 years has one thing in common…

        …and it’s not guns…its SSRI drugs…Part II

        VIRGINIA TECH…SEUNG-HUI CHO… PROZAC

        Our Government protects the Huge Pharmaceutical Companies ( that make billions of dollars ) when it should be the other way around.

      • @Jimmy
        “SSRI’s helped me a lot when I was blue…I like ’em”

        I like that you have previously said you are not a coward, because you would protect innocent strangers.

        Let me give you a favor that normally runs 350/hr. Never ever say that again publicly that you took an ssri. In this current time in our country, where the law is guilty until paying for your innocence, a subject can’t admit that they are feeling blue without risking your rights. Saying you are depressed is worse than saying you would finish off a criminal after they were on the ground.

        This was a Hate Crime, which was committed by a godless racist Heathen.

    • ah, bull shiite. there was violent crime before SSRIs were invented.

      There’s violent mass murders in parts of the world that don’t even have running water, much less SSRIs.

      Sure lots of crazy people commit mass shootings and other heinous crimes, but that doesn’t mean SSRIs are causing it. The craziness is causing BOTH the need for medication AND the violence.

    • I’d say there are far more defensive SSRI uses then offensive ones. No hard statistics, but I know more people who are on SSRI’s than who own guns.

    • I think Gordon Wagner’s point about SSRI’s is absolutely valid. That doesn’t mean every person who takes them becomes violent, but it IS a known side effect and has played a role in the past with others, no doubt.

      However, I think the bigger factor is the Media’s role in giving these a holes their desired infamy and these are mostly copy-cat acts, as evidenced by his affection for previous psycho mass killers.

    • I completely agree that SSRI Drugs are the real issue in Mass Murders…

      I’ve been studying the mass murders and suicides, brought on by these drugs.
      The pharmaceutical companies make Billions of dollars a year on SSRI drugs and are protected by Our Government. They’d rather steer the public towards looking at guns as the issue, when in fact SSRI drugs are destroying our youth on both ends, that being
      Murderers and the Murdered.
      A lot of these shooters are between 9-24 years old with psychiatric issues to begin with add drugs and you have a bomb.

    • Not to try to take away from the fact that he was a murdering psychopath, but Dorner *was* fired for not toeing the thin blue line. He reported a colleague for kicking a kid in the head while he was in handcuffs, then quickly found himself on the other side of that line.

    • Notice how fast the “blame the gun” reaction was? They had to distract the attention of the Public from this nutcase writing the initials of the Black victims of another nutcase in the Charleston church murders on the bullets he fired.

  2. Yet when I turn on the TV and flip to CNN what do I hear? “Tell us more about the gun!!!” followed by a 10 minute discussion on how glocks are easy to conceal and were also used by this and that shooter…

    • It’s an AK-47 Wolf its always an AK, remember the memo? FFS we’ve been over this. They carry 12000 rounds and hate everyone and everything, smile at the thing it will kill you, Mother Teresa picks one up she turns into an ISIS commando, gaze upon one you are become death. Stay on message you performing monkey.

      Actually if they learn something and stop calling everything with a trigger an AK more power to them.

      It’s like watching a remedial class in a plucky underdog movie but without the humor, or plot, or point, or.. well never mind, no justifying it. I just think its funny watching highly paid functional retards ask dumb questions and then strain to listen or learn things.

    • Because jail got off for good behavior.

      Plus, they have a long list before Calypso Louie, and the list ahead of him includes Al Sharpton.

  3. “Gun culture, NRA, loopholes, easy access, background checks (btw, I got 10 bucks he passed), high capacity clips, cop killer bullets, guns everywhere laws, thinks of the children, doesn’t happen anywhere else (wait something happened in France?), blacklivesmatter; oops on that last one.

    Just like Eliot Rodger, another liberal with a grudge against everyone else, decides to lash out violently because he feels justified in doing it. Our gun control president and media should be celebrating, this was one for social justice.

  4. Governor McAuliffe is stating that we need more gun control and that would fix everything. Sooo…how did he get his over capacity fully automatic military grade assault Glock pistol?

  5. One day, I suspect he will share a cozy, warm room in hell with Dylann Roof. They have a lot in common, i.e., evil bastards, murderers, etc., so it would be a perfect match.

  6. These rare but destructive cases need to be ferreted-out when they occur. It appears he was just a man wandering around, but like a functional alcoholic, the reality lay just beneath a functional veil.

  7. He is crazy as can be, but to be honest, I don’t even want to read the racial nonsense in response to his racial nonsense that I am sure is either in the comments or teetering at the fingertips of some of the ttag readers. I love my guns and I love my 2A, as well as every other part of the Bill of Rights and Constitution, but if the comments of TTAG users in the past towards homosexuals and legitimate racial issues is any indication then the comments before mine are disgusting. And don’t even pretend that I am saying the blame lays with anyone but this man. I am talking about TTAG commenters past irrational and hateful comments.

    • Blah blah blah, if you hate our 1st Amendment rights so damn much move to England you over sensitive PC freak.

    • 2maik7…you can go ahead and peek. The comments are not that bad, mostly against liberals, no gay or racial bashing much.

    • Do you need a trigger warning? Fearful of some micro aggression perhaps? Is this not safe enough space for you?

      This killer is what the Social Justice Warriors are becoming. They are increasingly preaching the message of ” Tolerance for me, hatred towards thee” They will play their race card, gay card, gender card, and finally the murder card when everyday people don’t cater to their twisted sense of entitlement.

      So fvck your political correctness, because it’s now literally getting people killed.

      .

      • The truth needs to be known, and whether is good news or bad it needs to come to light. This is a black on white racially motivated hate crime and needs to be treated as such.

    • What legitimate racial issues are you talking about? What about Gays? If its a part of a story then its a legit part of the discussion.

  8. He says he has been attacked by white females ? Wonder what he means by that because it sounds delusional. But, I suppose the rants of a lunatic rarely make sense.

  9. One thing we have learned is that some murders are important and others aren’t. White policeman kills black person: important! Black person kills white policeman: unimportant. White lunatic kills black people in South Carolina: important! Gay black lunatic kills white people in Virginia: something tells me this one is going in the “unimportant” column. It doesn’t advance the narrative. Except, of course, the gun control narrative.

  10. That’s our world. Violent, insane leftists (redundant, I know) misuse guns, which leads to leftists calling for gun control. Rinse, repeat. Evil creates evil, which leads to evil blaming the good. Everything wrong with our country is squarely in the bloody, twisted hands of leftists.

    Only silver lining here is that since this absolutely obliterates the MSM narrative agenda, this story will likely be brushed away quickly. And what a reflection on the sad state of affairs, when I’m glad that corrupt Pravda media will sweep away two innocent deaths because they don’t fit a narrative.

  11. Every loser who shoots random innocents has one thing in common, and it’s not SSRIs. It’s blaming everyone except themselves for their problems.

    • Absolutely. It’s time people woke up and realized black are just if not more racist against whites and they commit lots of hate crimes themselves. It’s time to put an end to white genocide.

  12. He is a homosexual black man who hated straight white people and murdered them. I hope he does not survive his own bullet to the head.

  13. Never forget–Obama and his pals (Holder, Sharpton, etc.) have been stoking racial tensions in this country for political gain, he’s been doing it consistently. All these riots, killings, assaults. He owns it all.

  14. So this fruit-loop is crazy enough to get fired but not crazy enough to get on the NICS prohibited list.

    I’ll bet the FBI is going to work late nights in full CYA mode.

      • “are you now, or have you ever been a human powder keg Y/N/I will *** you with a rake if I don’t get my gat in the next 5″

        That version may just get a few more to trip themselves up, no room for the “I misunderstood the question” response.
        Also ask for profession and offer Terrorist as an option that should catch a few chancers.

  15. Given that the tv news is like the minor league for narcissist psychopaths blaming others for their problems i’m not surprised these are his views.

  16. Some moron who had been told for years that he’s oppressed and should be angry and that nothing is ever really his fault. It’s society’s fault for oppressing him. He can’t be held accountable for his actions. It’s the straight white cismale patriarchy.

    • C our country is full of people who blame all of their failures in life on other people instead of themselves. This guy was a worthless piece of crap by his own actions and he blamed whitie for it. Now two young people are dead because of the liberal agenda.

  17. Uh NO they won’t be letting this one go-members of the 4th estate don’tchaknow’. I was particularly sickened by Megyn K-it makes me like the Donald. I did catch Sean Hannity for a few minutes and he was great. RIP for the 2 victims and Godspeed healing for the interviewee…and there is no rest for the wicked. BTW why all the zoloft/psycho talk? I see a professional “victim” who hates white folks(and himself-a dead loser). F’up with or without drugs…I have met many similar black men in my life(hanging out in gyms for 45years). All their problems come from the evil white man…

  18. We are all adults and we have a right to know the WHOLE TRUTH about every story. It is profoundly, deeply insulting to me when a narrative falls apart and we have to figure it out for ourselves, but if we start accepting them covering our eyes at the bad parts like we were children then we won’t even have that.

  19. Wow are people comparing this to black lives matter cause the shooter was black?? This is by far not the same thing…police shooter unarmed minorities does not equal a crazy lone shooter going ham because he’s mental smh get it together people.

  20. A perfect example of a black on white racially motivated hate crime. It’s about time this crap comes to light. End white genocide.

  21. Black, racist, violent pole-smoker. Wow, this half man, half animal personifies what’s wrong with black society. Rot you rotten POS.
