    Doesn't the 'poor shmuck' has a say in him being on tv himself? Why the fuck should he be ashamed? Because someone else (you) couldn't do it? Dude please. About the question why people like him feel the need to go on tv... I think even a retard can figure that out. This all being said: I didn't watch him so I don't know if he really made a fool of himself but still. It is easy to see a reason in why a dad feels the need to say something in public after his kid did something like this.

    i'm allowed to disagree....the sensational aspect of a live cnn interview isn't appropriate here.....not 26 hours later


    people generally dot mimic the circumstances of their childrens demise....ie live interview

    Yeps, it is indeed merely your opinion based on, apparently, a personal dislike.

    He was?

    Hmmmmm, not gay enough. Doesnt matter what you call yourself, if you look like every other dude at a hard rock cafe throwing back beers and cheesyfries, even with slightly prettier than average eyes....no ones really going to be convinced. Truly motivated to get the attention of every hot guy you see, one would naturally always think twice when carbs are put in front of you.

    More like he felt the need to prove something to the church cos he wasnt normal enough, include a paragraph about being victimized for being gayish, even though the gay guys never talked to him, and no one else was really convinced he was gay and no one ever spelled it out to him

    I think we should stop talking about the gunman and focus on the victims. Lets not make the gunman the famous person in this case, like we have done with so many other shooters.

    The tragedies that have happened in my area lately, the parents and/or family have declined to be interviewed or quoted other than saying "this is a hard time for us...we appreciate your prayers", and that would be said by the reporters, not the people themselves.

    I'm with Rolling...I cannot imagine talking on the tv after that if my family,especially my child was a victim...

    I guess I'm just never going to grow too old to still be sort of surprised by things.

    The thing that bothers me about family of victims being interviewed right after a tragic event, is not the interview itself, but the unmitigated gall of a news channel asking those family members to do an interview. Damn, give them a chance to absorb what happened and then maybe grieve a little bit... Fuck your news ratings and getting the scoop. Let people be people for fuck sake.

    If it were me and they stuck a mic in my face, they'd get something they couldn't air.

    Shitty indeed. Police confiscated a rainbow LGBT flag and paraphernalia from the shooter's home. Just like how they confiscated Confederate State flags and paraphernalia from the Charleston shooter's home.

    Does this mean society will throw a fit and ban the rainbow LGTB flag as a divisive hate symbol and conclude that the shooter represents all gay people?

    Vanilla Gorilla is right he stewed on it for a couple of years and during that period of time became increasingly paranoid.

    He saw white people (especially his former colleagues at WDBJ) as the enemy and the Charleston massacre only reinforced his delusion. His mother was a nut case which drove his parents apart when he was kid (so much for insanity skipping a generation) and his perceived harassment for being gay only increased his anger.

    The Charleston massacre is just a convenient excuse (an escape hatch) for being a fuck-up, he even looks like bug

    If I was such a family member and wouldn't feel like it (very understandable) I would just say no and expect that to be respected.

    I would never go on television after a loved one died, but I do think the reason a lot of people do is because they are so harassed by media outlets they agree to do an exclusive with one so the others will leave them alone.

    The sad thing about this and all other mass killings is the simple fact that political correctness is causing this. The common sense emotion is now gone the way of the small pox vaccine, eradicated.

    We sit and protest and riot and segregate and abuse all for the right to gloat. I am Gay, I am Black, Christian, Muslim, Republican or Democrat. We are all Humans, but we live in the past and cannot move forward.

    The LBGT, NAACP and other 'groups' are the causes to this situation. Get over yourselves, you are no different then I am but you act entitled, why?

    Where is the outcry, oh wait we can't, it was a black man. Should we white folks riot and burn down Roanoke, no, sadly we have more common sense than that and are not looking for recognition of color. For those that think that may be a raciest statement, think about it for a moment. African Americans do not realize that their actions continually drive the wedge between races even deeper. Obama does not help either by calling for heads on African Americans killings but is mum on anything else. Slowly he has also helped drive the wedge in form up top from the person we expect to care for the country as a whole, not just the few.

    Every race or creed kills one another what makes one more special than the other? We humans segregate each other for our own fear of being obsolete. We need to feel important and when we don't, insecurity, hatefulness and judgement takes over.

    Political Correctness is a term introduced by the Right Wing Dinesh D'Souza in 1991 as a rallying point for Right Wingers against multiculturalism, affirmative action, hate speech, and changing school curricula.

    This was done: "to insinuate that egalitarian democratic ideas are actually authoritarian, orthodox and Communist-influenced, when they oppose the right of people to be racist, sexist, and homophobic." —"Project MUSE - Uncommon Differences: On Political Correctness, Core Curriculum and Democracy in Education". jhu.edu.

    The right Wingers used the term to describe anything that they felt was to Liberal.

    "Political correctness is one of the brilliant tools that the American Right developed in the mid–1980s, as part of its demolition of American liberalism.... What the sharpest thinkers on the American Right saw quickly was that by declaring war on the cultural manifestations of liberalism – by leveling the charge of "political correctness" against its exponents – they could discredit the whole political project."
    —"Words Really are Important, Mr Blunkett", Will Hutton, The Observer, Sunday 16 December 2001 – Accessed February 6, 2007.

    Lately the Left has begun to fight back and note that Right Wingers' actions can also be Politically Correct. When the Dixie Chicks were labeled treasonous by Bill O'Reilley and Ann Coulter for criticizing G.W.Bush:

    Columnist Don Williams said that "The campaign against the Chicks represents political correctness run amok"

    Political Correctness is not the cause of anything, but it is an attempt to manipulate.

    I'd mindlessly nod my head to that like the rest of you SJWs, if and only if it was never revealed that Political Correctness fueled Bryce William's psychopathic motive.
    Apparently, the shooter was hyper-offended by every statement that wasn't PC. He accused Alison Parker of being a racist when she used terminology like "reporting out in the field" (like out in the Cotton fields, get it?)

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3213821/The-inoffensive-everyday-phrases-used-anchor-Alison-Parker-earned-death-sentence-Flanagan-deemed-racist.html
    http://nypost.com/2015/08/28/reporters-everyday-comments-deemed-racist-by-on-air-killer/

    He apparently believed 7-Eleven's watermelon flavored slurpees were a racist conspiracy as well.

    Political Correctness is not the cause of anything, but to manipulate liberals into becoming hateful psychopaths.
