BREAKING: Shooting during live TV report in Virginia; reporter and cameraman dead

[alicewonders]

I really don't want to be crude but is "Flanagan", the shooter, one of those "Black Irish" I hear so much about?

Doesn't Vester Lee Flanagan II sound like a fake name?  Weird.

Doesn't Vester Lee Flanagan II sound like a fake name?  Weird.

Ever notice how serial killers and mass shooters always have a middle name, and it's usually Lee?

I did a little investigating and founf 45 points of similarity between this killing and the Kennedy assassination.  For example, both killers have the word "Lee" in their names, both killers have three full names, and have exactly the same number of syllables in their names.  Coincidence?  I don't think so.

I have.

My middle name is Lea (pronounced Lee)...........

    I'm liking the direction this 'conversation' is headed.....

Lee Harvey Oswald....5 syllables

Vester Lee Flanagan....6 syllables

....back to the drawing board. ^-^

Yes, it's good to laugh a little...

Someone actually counted?  I'll take that as a victory.  What you failed to consider is that the second "a" in Flanagan is silent.

I explained that to you, Dan. When the camera is about to roll or is rolling, talent blocks out the extraneous and focuses on the interview. The big black guy could walk up stark naked and they wouldn't notice. They are busy getting the interview. They're focused. Hyper focused. Camera lighting also reduces the eyes accommodation and thus visual cues.

It was 6:46 am, no one else is around and a big black guy walks up to your 'interview'... they probably felt the walkway shaking from this guy walking up... there was literally no one else around... the guy raises a gun practically in your face... the camera wasn't rolling... that's why the 'shooter' lowered the gun and waited for the cameraman to start shooting... , you look at him but you don't 'notice'... he's standing close enough to touch the camera man but you don't 'notice'?

That's B.S.

I fear you may be alone on this one, Dan. But you've never been one to back down. Stay thirsty, my friend.

Why would you be afraid to hold a minority position AC?

[musiclady]

Yes, it's good to laugh a little...

Can we talk about that fake moon landing next??    ^-^

Why would you be afraid to hold a minority position AC?

Sorry, I don't think it's a minority position. More like an outlier position.

But, that's not what I said. I said you don't back down. I was giving you a complement.

Not only that, but there was a grassy knoll right beside the shooting site, a woman with an open umbrella on a clear day, and I'm pretty sure I saw E. Howard Hunt and George Bush standing across the street, disguised as bums.

H - A - double R - I - G- A - N  spells Flanagan.

That was obvious, ac.  Persistence can be a virtue.

I remember a TV show from the 60s that had that musical theme. Is that from where you recall it?

So why would you be afraid to hold an outlier position AC?

No. If I believe in something, I fight for it. But, I can't get on this hoax bandwagon because I don't believe it.

[musiclady]

I remember a TV show from the 60s that had that musical theme. Is that from where you recall it?

It was the theme song of an old show (Harrigan and Sons?), but I remember it better from the movie "Yankee Doodle Dandy" with James Cagney playing George M. Cohan. (It was a Cohan song.......... and I can sing every word!)  I also have the sheet music for it.

I love songs from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.   I'm kinda weird that way.  ^-^

I remember now. The show was called Harrigan. H-A-double R-I---G-A-N-spells Harrigan, was the theme song.

Beat me to the punch. You know your music!
