So why have authorities been so aggressive trying to remove a video which doesn’t actually depict any identifiable visual graphic violence ?īoth local and national media, apparently in conjunction with law enforcement, immediately identified their shooter as Vester Lee Flanagan II, a 41 year old gay African-American man, allegedly a “disgruntled employee” whose media stage name is ‘Bryce Williams’ – first calling him a “person of interest”, and later as a “suspect” driving a “2009 grey Ford Mustang,” (later revised by media/police as a ‘rented’ Chevrolet Sonic). The media are calling this video ‘Graphic’ – even though it does not actually depict any blood or any recognizable shots connecting with alleged targets. Our re-posted video below has been removed a total of 6 times already today. See the shooter’s own video here …ĭAILY NOTE: All day Wednesday, authorities and unnamed government officials have been pressuring YouTube and other websites into removing Flanagan’s video. Watch his video, shot low-res on either an iPhone or Galaxy phone (vertical rectangular format) and not on an HD GoPro as CNN and others wrongly claimed today.Īs it’s still an open investigation, it should be fair to ask the following: did the alleged shooter really shoot this video, or was it someone else? Have any witnesses actually ID’d Flanagan at the scene of this alleged double homicide? Clearly, the media have already decided that it was Vester Flanagan. According to reports, the shooter posted his own video of the shooting on social media – on his Facebook account and on Twitter. This latest ‘Truman Show’ shooting takes this all-American genre to a whole new level. MYSTERY IMAGE: ‘Chilling’ still image of shooter allegedly supplied via WDBJ7 camerman who was laying on the ground, yet, this still image doesn’t appear on actual footage.Ī third victim, Vicky Gardner, a member of the Chamber of Commerce who took part in the report, was said to be wounded and in stable condition. The crew was reporting live for WDBJ7, a CBS affiliate in Roanoke, Virginia at about 6:45 am at Bridgewater Plaza near Smith Mountain Lake. This morning, on live TV, a reporter Alison Parker, and cameraman Adam Ward, were shot and killed during their local news report.
