On-air shooter Bryce Williams hasn’t been dead but 24 hours, yet the press is already portraying the African American newsman-turned-gunman as a crazy gay, whilst #BlackLivesMatter reps remain surprisingly tightlipped about his singular act of violence.
Former #WDBJ reporter Williams, aka Vester Lee Flanagan the second, launched a premeditated and televised assault on two Caucasian coworkers in Virginia Wednesday morning, allegedly in retaliation for their overt racial and sexual discrimination.
Those issues, which the suicidal shooter outlined in a 23-page “manifesto” faxed in advance to select media outlets, cross into two sensitive territories -- racial equality and gay rights -- and still no one is speaking up for this homosexual African American.
WDBJ’s fired and now dead employee apparently has no criminal past, either. An aspect of Bryce Williams’ character that lends credibility to his complaints, and makes the deafening silence of usually-outspoken social activists seem especially unwarranted and troubling.
The high-profile bloodbath, which he filmed with a body-cam and posted live on his Facebook and Twitter accounts before these were yanked offline by *outraged* site mods, is horrific, to be sure.
But, after all, the “crazed” dark-skinned gunman with same-sex preferences who shot two of his white heterosexual fellow-reporters to death on live television for “bullying” him out of a job, had been alleging discrimination in one of the nation’s most bigoted regions and professions…
How many people really believe Bryce Williams was just inventing or imagining race-based and sexuality-based abuses at his workplaces? Do #BlackLivesMatter only when straight black suspects are being slain by police?
