[Veritigo_X]

The account is suspended now. Thank god.

 

[AwesomeSauce]

OMG this is crazy.

Im trying to take a nap before class, but seeing and hearing that video is terrifying, shocking. I'm speechless.

 

[Arthr2ShdsJcksn]

That Twitter vid? Shit....

 

[boredandlazy]

He filmed it. I got up to the part where he pulled the gun out and I BAILED THE FUCK OUT. NO NO NO NONONONONONO

I did the same. As soon as the gun came out I just couldn't bear to watch it... Fuck me this is horrible.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

he had a go-pro apparently

 

[Bronx-Man]

I have stepped into a dystopian horror novel and I can't find my way out of it. What's happened to America?

 

[TunaMarshmallow]

That.... oh jesus

 

[brochiller]

It's probably going to come out that this dude was a seemingly sane and rational person with no prior convictions (parking tickets maybe) that was pushed over the edge by some emotional event such as getting fired.

He would have never been flagged as dangerous when he bought the gun.

Perfectly 'normal' humans can be driven to crazy shit like this when something effects their mental state, the only way to stop them from shooting people is to not let them get guns period, and that is an untenable position as it's in the US Constitution.

If you're literally living in fear of guns to the point it's affecting your life, it might be time to consider emigrating to a gun-free country.

This is coming from someone living in the UK.

I hope his mother sees what her son did, and after they catch him can look into his eyes.

That would be kinda traumatic for the mother, don't you think?

 

[ramuh]

Suspended...thx god

 

[DoktorEvil]

Capital Punishment in Virginia is legal.

He's getting the death penalty if caught. No love lost.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

Twitter has suspended his account.

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

This is Zodiac shit.
Fuck this guy.

 

[xrayregime]

Ok good they suspended the account on twitter.

 

[Dragon1893]

This is unreal...

 

[Bluekaveli]

........

Fuck this

 

[Big Baybee]

He filmed himself doing it.........that video. Man.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Why did I watch that?

This is absolutely horrifying.

agreed 100%

You guys feel good about yourselves?

 

[Kinyou]

His twitter is down

 

[Thornton Reed]

why are people fucking watching this video???

 

[commish]

I can't unsee any of this. my god.

 

[Melkezadek]

I can't be believe this is happening. I actually threw up. This is horrible.

 

[JohnTinker]

I cannot unsee this. I'm so sick

 

[SmokyDave]

Those videos were surreal.

 

[The Elite]

Ok good they suspended the account on twitter.

He has it up on Facebook from what someone mentioned. Hopefully it gets taken down. He could be uploading it just about everywhere.

 

[Milly Osworth]

I feel so bad for their loved ones. First they lose someone then they see a maniac spread it on the internet for everyone to see.

Pure evil.

 

[EBreda]

Damn... fuck that he'll probably comit suicide as soon as the cops get to him.

This fucker should live to stay in jail for life, while being tortured in prison. But no, he's getting the easy way out, I'm sure.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

I have stepped into a dystopian horror novel and I can't find my way out of it. What's happened to America?

what's happened is America's crime has fallen and the ability for information to spread has increased to the point where events like this can become national news within minutes.

 

[strafer]

fucking autoplay

 

[The Sum of Zero]

Oh god.

I can't.

That sick fuck.

 

[Squalor]

His twitter is down

Facebook and video are still up at the time of my posting.

This guy is way too fucked up.

 

[Lakitu]

why are people fucking watching this video???

It autoplayed when I was looking at the Twitter account. Didn't know it was him at first then there was a POV video playing and then I closed it immediately.

 

[Don Draper's Hat]

why are people fucking watching this video???

I asked myself that question, and still clicked play. Morbid curiosity I suppose.

Horrible.

 

[Daria]

it's sad america won't try to fix mental health issues before trying to tackle gun control.

 

[marrec]

Here's a reminder on how to disable auto-play of videos on Twitter.

Do this.

And then do not go to that guys Twitter.

It's obviously what he wants.

 

[jerry113]

What the hell, he filmed it?
Is the motive known?

Edit: what is hr

Notoriety?

Why target TV reporters on live interview?

Ego plays a big part in it all.

I filmed the shooting see Facebook

This is surreal. So this is personal?

 

[Arcia]

why are people fucking watching this video???

It was accidental because Twitter auto plays by default

 

[NihonTiger90]

Redditors are bragging about downloading the video before it got pulled. Fuck them.

 

[Syf]

wtfwtf why did I watch those

 

[louiedog]

Everything about this is awful in every way. I imagine after posting his confession and evidence he'll take his own life. I hope he has no more plans.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Damn... fuck that he'll probably comit suicide as soon as the cops get to him.

This fucker should live to stay in jail for life, while being tortured in prison. But no, he's getting the easy way out, I'm sure.

because torture in prison won't create more mentally unstable individuals for society to have to deal with...

 

[Zoe]

why are people fucking watching this video???

Many people had no idea it was there. And then autoplay.

 

[sappyday]

I could not watch that. I was flailing to close the tab.

 

[TheLegendary]

I had watched the video on his twitter before it was suspended. My God.

 

[hiryu]

Man, that has to be first. A killer in a live manhunt uploads the video of him doing it. I suspect he will either kill himself or make the cops do it.

 

[benicillin]

He actually posted videos that he shot himself? That's too much even for me. I'm sorry for the people who watched them, things like that just can't be unseen.

 

[JimJamJones]

WHY ARE PEOPLE RETWEETING/SHARING THE VIDEO??
