I hope they catch the sick fuck and put him away for life.

 

[LiK]

Where were they conducting that interview?

AP says in a shopping center. fucking hell, hope they catch that fucker.

 

[Fermbiz]

I hope they catch this guy fast! I wonder what's the motive.

 

[AlphaDump]

I am genuinely curious about how the shooter will be profiled before i make any assumptions.


This is absolutely horrible.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Rest in peace. Such a senseless tragedy.


This country and its stupid "pry it from our dead hands" grip on guns. When are we ever going to learn (never).

 

[Fitzy]

Looks like a mask?

Theres some clear shots of the guy people are posting through my Facebook feed. Hes not wearing a mask.

 

[Krejlooc]

We're the only first-world country where gun violence is such a massive problem. It's always worthy of discussion.

That's not a discussion. That's trivializing their death for a stupid joke

 

[KingGondo]

That video is fucked up. If having that loop on the news doesn't get this country to wake up on guns nothing will

Nothing will.

It's easy to rationalize this stuff for the anti-gun regulation crowd.

"That guy was a lone maniac."

"What about better mental healthcare?"

"If only the victims had been armed..."

Mental health is also a massive problem. There are a lot of problems in this country, but a cheeky little "just another day in MURICA" comment like that when two young people get murdered just doing their job is tasteless, IMO.

I find it tasteless that shit like this keeps on happening.

 

[Ihyll]

No way this is just a random shooting.

 

[marrec]

"Bu...bu...but you shouldn't politicize such a senseless tragedy!"

Guys is too early to talk about a potential cause and solution to the ridiculous amount of senseless gun violence in America. Lets just wait until the NEXT tragedy unfolds.

Terrifying turn of events... I hope the woman who was being interviewed survives.

 

[DoktorEvil]

Don't make any assumptions. Wait until information comes to light. It's quite simple.

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

That's not a discussion. That's trivializing their death for a stupid joke

The only joke is america for letting psychopaths with mental problems have easy access to guns.

 

[wrestleman]

That's terrifying! This occurred about 3 hours away from my home, but it still feels too close for comfort.

My condolences to their friends and family. I hope they stop this guy, and soon.

I'm about a half hour's drive away.

Watched the video before anything was confirmed, didn't see the shooter in the video until much later. Now I've got the unfortunate burden of having the video on repeat in my mind.

 

[Eighty Deuce]

FUCKING WHY

 

[Kabouter]

Yep... if they were engaged it sounds like perhaps possible an ex BF or a stalker. Obviously just guessing here and nothing confirmed but my gut feeling is that. Seems so random if not..

Just horrible..

I don't think they were engaged to each other. The studio stream seems to suggest the woman was romantically involved with an on air host, and the man was engaged with a producer at the TV station.

Mental healthcare is my favorite.

Because it's typically the same conservatives saying it that simultaneously want to cut Medicaid, unravel Obamacare and will never be on board with UHC. It's all window dressing to deflect long enough to go back to apathy.

 

[e_i]

The way the cameraman just topples over...I think I'm going to vomit.

Well it might be nice to wait until we find out, you know, literally any info on the gunman.

 

[jacobeid]

This is scary as fuck. RIP.

 

[marrec]

Well it might be nice to wait until we find out, you know, literally any info on the gunman.

We know he had a gun.

 

[Hjod]

Horrible, rest in piece.

I hope they find the cunt responsible for this.

 

[amanset]

I don't think they were engaged to each other. The studio stream seems to suggest the woman was romantically involved with an on air host, and the man was engaged with a producer at the TV station.

The Guardian is saying:

Parker had recently celebrated a birthday and was dating WDBJ7 reporter Chris Hurst.

Hope they get the fuck.

Worst thing is that it was his last day at work

 

[antonz]

Bunch of assholes in this thread. You wanna debate the politics of it all. make a thread for it. All you people are doing is causing a massive derail.

 

[Silver Arrows]

I can see this thread got politicized fast.

Antonz is right, this is fucking shameful behavior. There is a time and place for talk about the right to bear arms in the US, AND IT ISN'T 15 MINUTES AFTER A TRAGEDY LIKE THIS.

 

[cacildo]

Looks like a skull mask or something. So creepy

Yep. Terrible

 

[Morts]

Horrific. I hope I never see the video.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Rest in peace. Such a senseless tragedy.


This country and its stupid "pry it from our dead hands" grip on guns. When are we ever going to learn (never).

If Sandy Hook didn't change anything, this won't either and it's a goddamn shame.

RIP to this couple. I'll keep them in my prayers.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

Christ that is terrifying.

 

[Numb]

What terrible news.

 

[Marauder Shields]

Bunch of assholes in this thread. You wanna debate the politics of it all. make a thread for it. All you people are doing is causing a massive derail.

It's not like people here really care about the lives lost. They're more interested in how it fits into their agenda.

RIP.

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Sad news. Rip.

 

[BertramCooper]

It's not like people here really care about the lives lost. They're more interested in how it fits into their agenda.

RIP.

Yeah, our nefarious agenda of wanting shit like this to stop happening.

 

[Jag]

RIP to the victims. So young, so sad

 

[DrForester]

Man, the reporter in the studio was stunned. I'm surprised she was able to say "We don't know what happened" so calmly.

 

[ErasureAcer]

Just about the only thing that could possibly stop the NRA. Live shootings for all your kids to see! Ahh, fuck that JFK and all. NRA wins again.

RIP. Sorry our country sucks.

 

[Interfectum]

Jesus....

 

[Alebrije]

Wow, feel sorry for those people...

Still no news about the causes / reasons of this murder?

 

[schlongdog]

It's not like people here really care about the lives lost. They're more interested in how it fits into their agenda.

RIP.

Oh fuck off. Like you'd seriously suggest there is a single person in here (or that will come in here) that doesn't care and recognise this as a horrific event.

 

[Zeus Molecules]

RIP.

And this is how any debate on gun violence usually gets shut down in America. With that said I hope they find this guy quick.

 

[Pinchable Buttocks]

First thing I thought about was that someone hired a contract hit on those two from the dark web.....Don't know why I get that feeling though.

 

[Daffy Duck]

Awful news, have Mashable pulled the video?

It seems to just be an awfully annoying website which freezes Firefox and just a load of images.

Just seen the video.....that's some cold ass shit......

 

[D23]

What a terrible news to woke up to

 

[RedSparrows]

Yeah, our nefarious agenda of wanting shit like this to stop happening.

'Agenda' is a dirty word these days, bizarrely.

This is horrible.

 

[Kiever Sher]

Amazing the way the camera fell perfectly to catch the guy walking along

 

[Deku Tree]

So horrible... And sad... Hope they catch the killer soon.

We didn't share this publicly, but @AParkerWDBJ7 and I were very much in love. We just moved in together. I am numb.

Chris Hurst ‏@chrishurstwdbj 11m11 minutes ago
We were together almost nine months. It was the best nine months of our lives. We wanted to get married.We just celebrated her 24th birthday

Chris Hurst ‏@chrishurstwdbj 9m9 minutes ago
She was the most radiant woman I ever met. And for some reason she loved me back. She loved her family, her parents and her brother.

Chris Hurst ‏@chrishurstwdbj 7m7 minutes ago
I am comforted by everyone at @WDBJ7. We are a family. She worked with Adam every day. They were a team. I am heartbroken for his fiancee.

Jesus Christ. I swear I thought this was some viral video or something when i first saw it.
What the fuck, man.

Day: Ruined.
My heart goes out to the station and their loved ones.

Definitely not a mask. We can rule that out I suppose.
