He's posting about the woman he shot

They're currently reporting the shooter has shot himself off of I-64 in Fauquier county VA.

Apparently he's black and has had a lot of employment issues and not being able to get along with people. Has used the race card on more than one occasion.

Guns and racism.

He'll be portrayed as the misunderstood victim caused by the privileged white class.

I do believe you are right Dori.

Any bets that the DoJ will prosecute as a hate crime?

I'm afraid that's a loosing bet. If the victims had been black and the shooter white, then yeah, that would be a safe bet.

I'm waiting for the Black Lives Matter crowd to make something out of this, knowing how much they like thugs.

The only life they care about is the black perp's. Racism drove him to murder and an attempted suicide.

Yep, Clinton's already trying to use this latest shooting as an excuse to attack the Second Amendment.

It's even better than that, he was gay too. Black and gay is a double hitter in the liberal game of victimhood.

Soo very sad. I saw the complete video of the murders. The killer just casually walked up to the victims with a pistol in his hand.

As far as I can tell, none of the victims displayed ANY situational awareness. Soo unfortunate....and a lesson for all....to be aware of your surroundings....wherever you are.

The cameraman and reporter are preoccupied. Maybe they should have an extra person with them watching Joe Public for any monkey business.
