TV news people are a special breed that thrives on
creativity to show their viewers what’s going on in their world. TV news hires a diverse selection of people
where race, gender, sexual preference is controlled by strict efforts to reflect
Liberal ideals. They strive to meet strict diversity quotas rather than simply
finding the most qualified candidates. Thankfully in the end it all seems to
work out.
Saying that I find the minorities they hire to be dedicated
and gifted professionals that simply enjoy doing news. I’ve been on the receiving end of kindness,
lifetime friendships and the privilege of simply knowing like-minded people
that are different. We’re not really
different because at the end of the day we are all human.
We all watched in horror the endless replays of the live, on
air murders of two young members of a smaller market TV news crew doing a
routine story yesterday.
Who or what shall we blame?
Political lines were quickly drawn, as Liberals refused to let the victim’s
bodies get cold before they beat their Gun Control drums suggesting gun bans
would somehow have prevented this.
Really? From where do those
shallow, simplistic and ignorant people come?
Gun rights haters never miss an opportunity to dance on the graves of
murdered people. This is not about guns;
it’s all about narcissism, hate and that twisted sense of entitlement.
I think I understand this more than most people. I’m a white male that never enjoyed that
so-called “white privilege”. I was
raised by a variety of caregivers that included my incredibly dysfunctional
single mother. I know abject poverty,
evictions, hunger and being embarrassed at school for the large holes in the
soles of my shoes. Necessity forced me
to lie about my age, get a job at a local hot dog eatery and an apartment at
age 14 in Chicago. This life experience
made me the politically conservative Libertarian that I am today.
If my humble origin
sounds miserable and challenging it was.
However it was also an adventure that I survived. I’ve been blessed with meeting some great friends,
mentors and unexpected kindness along the way.
The most important thing I learned is we are not all equal. Life is not fair and it will never be fair.
Some of us are physically more attractive, richer, smarter and
healthier. Some of us have incredible
life challenges and can never escape poverty, hunger, rejection and
misery.
Along with other challenges comes hatred and for some the
belief that even the most despicable criminal acts is their birthright to
address the wrongs in their lives.
Vester Lee Flanagan, II was raised in the San Francisco Bay
neighbor of Oakland, CA. Communists,
Socialists and militant Gays politically run this area. Oakland is the birthplace of the Black
Panthers. Avowed Socialist Jim Jones
and his People’s Temple mass suicide infamy began in the East Bay too.
The most hateful and violent African-Americans anywhere can
be found in Oakland. The
African-Americans here have morphed into a bankrupt, violent, narcissistic and
racist culture. Children raised here
will have challenges far beyond other impoverished Americans. Hate is actually
programed into their DNA.
Raising children to avoid personal responsibility and blame
anyone or everyone else for failure is the Oakland way. Using the so-called race card has replaced
achievement, competition and positive self-respect. The males in this society see themselves as race
warriors because they’re goaded on and encouraged by local Socialists and
Communists.
Vester Lee Flanagan, II somehow got enough education to seek
out a TV journalism career. Like everyone else this lad began but never
progressed out of the “training ground” of small market television. The pay here is low however the opportunity
to learn and hone required story telling skills are great. Reporters learn here and then move up to the
next market.
Flanagan never made it out of the TV news minor league. He failed redundantly because of all the crap
he was fed in Oakland. Having a overblown sense of entitlement will never help
a reporter or anyone to succeed. Playing
the race card after failure is professional suicide. Flanagan made himself unemployable.
A very telling sign of Flanagan's lack of even simple TV skills was his own video recording of the shooting. He failed to hold his camera or cell phone horizontally to properly fill TV screens!
Flanagan snuffed out two promising lives as well as his
own. He changed the life of the Chamber
of Commerce woman by shooting her too.
What did Flanagan achieve yesterday?
He gave us more division, hatred and blight.

While you are telling the truth with the post Paul, your liberal friends are not going to be very happy.
PS. Sorry to hear about your bad childhood. I hate it when kids are abused or neglected. Glad you survived it all.
This guy was a racist coward and I hope he burns in hell. What I don't understand though, is how the reporter, and especially the woman being interviewed, didn't see the shooter in their peripheral vision. I can understand the cameraman looking thru his viewfinder and not being able to see around him. Perhaps if if the two women would have scanned their surroundings a bit this might have ended differently. Not Monday morning quarterbacking here, just wondering. My condolences to the victims of this lunatic.
Ya know what Paul? There are some nut cakes out there that blogging that this never happened, that it was all staged for the sake of control. Unbelieveable!
"Perhaps if if the two women would have scanned their surroundings a bit this might have ended differently."
Experienced interviewers and interviewees learn not to be distracted by such things as it doesn't look good on camera. They would have seen someone in their peripheral vision no doubt but I imagine just assumed it was a messenger or another staff member, etc. No reason for them to break focus and check if it's a gunman coming to kill them.
