I think it's reasonable to assume he has some degree of mental health issues.

Yeah... I agree

 

[TheOMan]

Wonder why that guy went to hr. Probably because you're a psychopath

Was going to post this almost word for word.

 

[Yrael]

You guys need to see the fps video. It is a slap in the face of what reality is in 2015. Everyone should see the world we live in now.

No, we really don't.

I saw it because I clicked the Twitter page just as it was uploaded, and I wish that I hadn't. I already know that such horrible things happen without having to have it seared into my brain.

 

[see5harp]

Eric Garner all over again. I remember people actually rooting for that idiot after he killed a bunch of innocent people.

 

[tbro777]

Fox news reporting he has shot himself, no confirmation yet

 

[truly101]

He was never going to be taken alive. He got to do what he wanted and go out on his terms, so he won, in his mind.
I have no idea how someone will be able to stop any of this, when it gets to this point.

 

[Enron]

I'm surprised as well, didn't know there were journalists with a second name for TV.

Very common. Most of the people I worked with did not use their real names on air.

 

[Shuggananas]

it'd cost far too much to house him in prison for the rest of his life or sentencing him to death. he did the job for us.

fuck that noise

 

[slit]

they don't even show the video. They get up to when he pulls up the gun and then the cut clips


this is what is says on their site

Another shows him firing the deadly shots at point blank range. We are not showing that video, and Twitter and FB have already suspended his accounts.

Doesn't matter anyway, video is already out there.

 

[OctoMan]

Yeah seriously, fuck this manifesto bullshit. Burn it up, or give it to the police and be done with it.

Opportunistic ABC will of course air it.

They arent.

Oh good. I couldn't bring myself to actually watch the rest of it. I had to close the tab.

 

[The Elite]

ABC turned it over to the police.

They aren't the type to air it.

 

[Fury451]

So again the narrative in gun violence is "he was mentally unstable" instead of "we should really do something about the amount of guns on the streets".

No, you have taken what I said and fit it into your argument.

The narrative on gun violence is "we should really do something about the amount of guns on the streets". And that's where it stops. It needs to be both, as the importance mental health troubles are often neglected due to the emotional reaction to the gun itself. I'm not saying that gun control doesn't need to change, but rather the approach overall is insufficient to tackling effective prevention.

Regardless, this probably isn't a time for politics, but reflection.

Eric Garner?

That's the New York guy that died of the chokehold.

 

[Sun Bather]

 

[Squalor]

Of course he couldn't have just killed himself first.

 

[DoktorEvil]

Eric Garner all over again. I remember people actually rooting for that idiot after he killed a bunch of innocent people.

WHAT?

WHAT?

 

[Boke1879]

Eric Garner all over again. I remember people actually rooting for that idiot after he killed a bunch of innocent people.

I think you mean Chris Dorner

 

[Goodacre0081]

Coward.

piece of shit was a coward when he shot two innocent people

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I have no reason to believe this guy is mentally ill. All I know is that this is an evil act of a guy who knew when and how to find people he was acquainted with and execute/murder them on live TV while filming it himself all for his own twisted purposes. I doubt that this will wake people up towards gun violence and I have all the faith that this will generate the WRONG kind of public discourse. God help this insane reality we live in.

Calling him "evil" is lazy and just deflects from the issues of mental illness andlets them go unchecked, which often culminates in situations like this one today. People need to stop that shit. This isn't a comic book.

 

[Thornton Reed]

you're giving this piece of shit the hard on he is craving by watching it

from the sounds of it he is pretty stiff by now as well

 

[Lashley]

Cowardly cunt

 

[mreddie]

For those who think all humanity is lost, here's a video of Peru Police trying to catch a penguin.

We need stuff like this today.

 

[Tom Nook]

The shooter killed himself...

Glad your dead but shit like this pissed me off. We want to see this asshole in handcuffs and in the chair.

 

[Troy]

Yeah seriously, fuck this manifesto bullshit. Burn it up, or give it to the police and be done with it.

Opportunistic ABC will of course air it.

They turned it over to police.

 

[cwmartin]

How does the very idea that he has the mental capacity to seriously entertain such an idea not indicate mental illness by itself?

Let's just take it a step further. How does a populace that allows the legal allowance of guns in their society not prove the mental illness of that society?!

 

[spindashing]

Eric Garner all over again. I remember people actually rooting for that idiot after he killed a bunch of innocent people.

Uh...

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Yeah, I stumbled upon the video he posted because I went to his Twitter when he first started posting. Very surreal, especially after seeing the first video from the news cameras angle when this all started.

It's not graphic, but very very hard to watch. They were so focused on the job they didn't notice him. He just lingers there for awhile and then starts shooting. Eugh. Terrible.

 

[midramble]

People are going to use this messed up situation as ammunition for some sinister agendas....

 

[HawksWinStanley]

I hope he lives to face justice. No cowards way out for him.

Careful. There are those on GAF who will crucify you for this line of thinking.

 

[TheOohChild]

Jesus fucking christ. He recorded the shooting with a go pro and uploaded it online

 

[Tagyhag]

He would kill himself, coward, just like every shooter in the world. Blames everyone but himself with their problems and then just takes the easy way out.

Nothing will come of this, that's the sad reality we live in.

 

[Mass Effect]

Everything about this whole situation is fucked. And I hate it.

 

[strafer]

I saw some tweets about Variety sharing the video.

shaking my head

 

[Squalor]

Jesus fucking christ. He recorded the shooting with a go pro and uploaded it online

Yes, many of us have seen the video.

 

[see5harp]

Eric Garner?

That's the New York guy that died of the chokehold.

Doh. The dude that killed the cops daughter and then ran up into the woods.

EDIT: Dorner?

 

[FunkyMunkey]

wait so being violent and cruel is a mental illness now?

 

[backflip10019]

Let's just take it a step further. How does a populace that allows the legal allowance of guns in their society not prove the mental illness of that society?!

That's a good point. I completely agree.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

You see. Easy access to guns. Crazy fucks can get them and shot for claimed retributions sake.

 

[Krejlooc]

this is fucking tragic. Fuck this guy so hard. Why do people do this shit?

 

[JHoNNy1OoO]

If he did commit suicide, I'm glad. He didn't force an officer to pull the trigger on him, didn't hurt anyone else, and we won't have to go through years and years of court proceedings and media obsession. Dude was clearly troubled. It'll be interesting to see what he had to say if only to be able to hopefully identify more these types of people going forward.

Tragic in every direction.

 

[Resident_UA]

You guys need to see the fps video. It is a slap in the face of what reality is in 2015. Everyone should see the world we live in now.

The world we live now is also much safer than it was 40 years ago. The only reason why we are all obsessed about this murder over 100s more than happened last night is because it was filmed...

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

I watched the video that cuts before the actual act and felt a pit in my stomach. I regret watching that, let alone the full video that was out there. :/

RIP to the reporters, truly sickening.

 

[entremet]

Doh. The dude that killed the cops daughter and then ran up into the woods.

Chris Dorner.

The former LAPD.

 

[VinFTW]

Dude, just stop.

 

[onadesertedisland]

This guy planned this. It also seems he had problems at every station he worked at. When does someone being an awful human being get dismissed as mental illness?

 

[braves01]

Is there a link to this article or one like it explaining his lawsuit?

 

[ohhthegore]

can anyone dm a link to the gopro footage?

 

[Squalor]

Doh. The dude that killed the cops daughter and then ran up into the woods.

Your point is still fucking stupid.

 

[jmizzal]

wow wtf is this guy on, catch this fool plz

nvm he shot himself
