Shots rang out for no apparent reason Wednesday morning as a gunman opened fire on a reporter and her cameraman in Moneta, Virginia. Police have confirmed that Allison Parker and Adam Ward were killed at the scene.
Their station, WDBJ7, is at a loss for words other than these:
We love you, Alison and Adam. pic.twitter.com/hLSzQi06XE

Police are searching for the suspect in the shooting, who is considered armed and dangerous. One of the last things caught on film by cameraman Adam Ward was an image of his murderer:
There is no motive for the crime as of yet, but there is a great sense of loss. This act of violence is already rippling across the airwaves and through online media. For a reporter and her cameraman to be gunned down for what appears to be no reason at all during an innocuous interview about something apparently trivial is a testament to the state of our society.
Somebody move the clock one minute closer to midnight, please.
*Warning* - This video is extremely graphic.
Watch two innocent journalists gunned down live on the air in a senseless act of violence.

“No motive”?!? I bet when you find this a-hole he’s going to be your typical pent up, Republican, Trump loving, FOX news GOP Tea-bagger. No motive?!? The Republicans with the help of FOX news always gives a motive!
You suck at betting.
You suck at life.
You suck man d ick. You should stop, you’re going to catch something nasty.
I’d rather do that than suck at life. Which you do.
hehehehehehehe … me too actually. Never have, but sucking at life is worse.
But you’re so good at it.
WRONG.
Black, gay, “classic injustice collector” of the type egged on by the hateful rhetoric of Sharpton and Obama.

Apparently this is a disgruntled ex-employee using a legally purchased handgun.
Blacks commit more than half of all murders even though they are only 12% of the population.
Actually, it’s black MEN doing the lion’s share of these killings, so it’s more like 6%
And yet they (and whites) and committing less of them than just twenty years ago.
Funny how that works.
So what? Blacks still commit murder at rates FAR exceeding that of whites. Nice comeback.
Why does their race matter?
It doesn’t. And it wouldn’t come up at all were it not for all the cop-blaming and race whining about how the cops supposedly target blacks “on purpose” where they ignore white criminals.
If their race doesn’t matter, why did you mention it?
yawn. learn to read libturd
Yeah, you started talking about police brutality, which has nothing to do with civilians performing criminal acts.
So why does their race matter?
Their race does not matter. However, the falsehood being pushed by the Black Lies Matter types is that these “poor, misunderstood, innocent” black people are being targeted all the time by the police, when the truth is that the police are targeting them for a REASON. It’s a reason you libturds don’t like to talk about.
“It’s a reason you libturds don’t like to talk about.”
Go ahead. State the reason.
Police target young black men because these young black men are committing crimes. The police are just doing their jobs. Perhaps these poor little “victims” should stop breaking the law, ever think of that?
What about Floyd Dent?
What about Dillon Taylor?
Exactly. It’s another example of how racism hurts white people.
We see unarmed black people getting shot, we blame the victim. That gives the police power to kill white people, because they have the same justification for use of force.
That said, what about Floyd Dent?
That gives the police power to kill white people, because they have the same justification for use of force.
Dude, put down the crack pipe and back away slowly. Wow, you’ve really got a serious racial inferiority complex going on there, don’t you Conspiracy Bbrother? Wow, just wow.
That said, what about Dillon Taylor?
I explained Dillon Taylor. His death was wrong.
Like I said before, you have no interest in ending racism. You’re a conservative. Your movement is based on white supremacy.
It’s also why you can’t refute anything I said.
So your “explanation” of Dillon Taylor was that because cops kill unarmed blacks, they can also kill unarmed whites? Wow
Dude, statements like yours do not require refutation. They refute themselves as soon as they are uttered. You represent the very fringes of far left-wing black supremacy, and you see RACISM in any and everything. It’s really sad.
Nope. My explanation is that because WE ALLOW cops to kill unarmed blacks, they can also kill unarmed whites.
But like I said, conservatives built their whole movement on racism. If you ended it, you’d lose power.
Yea, your explanation is crap and requires no refutation.
Oh darn. I already edited my post to include Atwater admitting that’s what conservatives do. I guess you missed it.
Uh huh.
Seriously, “white supremacy” means nothing at all to me. This term has been largely meaningless in mainstream culture in the last 30-40 years. Only professional victims like yourself hold on to these antiquated notions that The Man is still trying to keep you down. Seriously, go smoke a bowl and watch Undercover Brother, it’s an eye-opener.
I know it means nothing at all to you. That’s because you’re a part of it.
I’m not a professional victim. I do quite well. I’m also white. But that’s how conservatives think; if it doesn’t affect you, you shouldn’t care.
It’s also lame ad-hominem.
You can still be white and well do to, AND a professional victim and race baiter.
Why would I not want blacks to succeed? How are blacks any different than you or I, and how could their success possibly hurt me? I just don’t understand this at all.
So you claim that you want black people to succeed.
Does that mean you’d be willing to use your tax dollars to improve their quality of life so the average black person did as well as the average white?
You didn’t answer the question. Feel free to do so.
I thought it was rhetorical.
I don’t think you want black people to succeed. Which is why you won’t answer my question. We both know that it’s no.
Yet you can’t explain WHY that might be. I can’t think of a single reason in this world that I would not want blacks to succeed. You talk about “losing power,” but what “power” do blacks have that would conflict with what I want?? How are their goals/needs/desires different than mine?
To answer your question (even though you refuse to answer mine), I am no more or less willing to spend my tax dollars to help black people than I am to help white people. It’s about socioeconomic status, not skin color.
I already said the reason is because the conservative movement would lose power. Lee Atwater admitted that your policies are based on white supremacy.
Thanks for admitting that your answer is no.
You still fail to answer the question: What “power” do blacks have that would conflict with what I want?? How are their goals/needs/desires different than mine?
They don’t have power. And you want to keep it that way.
I don’t know why you’re a racist dill hole. I just know that you are.
So you have no answer. At all. I thought not.
Ok, let’s say the DID obtain the power that I apparently don’t want them to have. How would that change things for me? How would that hurt me? How would their socioeconomic goals be different from mine?
It wouldn’t hurt you. It would make things better. It would improve quality of life for all Americans, reduce crime, decrease power that the police have over law-abiding citizens, and improve property values.
So the only reason you would have for not wanting this is that you hate black people. Which is why you bring up crime statistics about black people. It’s your way of saying that they’re inferior.
There you go, their policies would not hurt me at all. So I really have no reason not to want them to succeed. I don’t live in the south, but I have many black friends and acquaintances. I do not “hate” or “love” them any more than anyone else. Your whining about “hatred” is just stupid.
As I have said before, the ONLY reason I bring up crime statistics is as a direct response to the Black Lies Matter fallacy that the cops are somehow targeting blacks and not whites. It’s a ridiculous lie, and the fact that you libturds ignore the crimes statistics in favor of blaming the cops is what makes it so necessary for people like me to point them out.
The only “haters” around here are the libturd circle jerkers like you that stereotype and pigeonhole everyone that disagrees with you as the worst possible version of humanity.
Those policies would do more than not hurt you. They’d help you. They’d help the entire country.
The only reason why you wouldn’t want them is because you hate black people.
This article wasn’t about black lives matter. You brought it up because you wanted to express your racial superiority.
I’m sure these policies would be fine.
You’re a ridiculous, narrow-minded moron, you know that? All you can do is repeat the “you hate black people” mantra, despite all evidence to the contrary. When backed into a rhetorical corner, all you have left is your invisible racism, racism that you can’t explain by anything other than irrational, unexplainable “hatred” of an entire group of people based solely on their skin color.
This article isn’t about BLM, no, but far too many on this little hack site are. Whites are not superior to blacks, but conservatives are superior to libturds like you.
There you go. Resort to ad-hominem when you can’t win with facts.
If you didn’t think black people were inferior, you wouldn’t have mentioned crime statistics. Now you’re trying to weasel out of it because you’re caught red handed. You set your profile to private because I called you out on having a racist comment history. Go cry in your beer.
Oh STFU, your comment history is also set to private. Mine’s been set to private for years. Every last one of my comments is still here for you to find. so save it circle jerker.
How many times do I have to explain why I bring up the statistics? About as many times you ignore it I guess.
Let me say it again: Black people are NOT inferior to whites. At all. They do commit violent crimes at much higher rates, but that just makes them more violent, not inferior.
So now you’re telling two lies. That’s even better.
“that just makes them more violent, not inferior.”
That’s not only false (white people commit plenty of legally sanctioned violence), but it’s an admission that you think that black people are worse than whites. So thanks for finally admitting that.
Go ahead and get the last word. You’ll still be a liar and a white supremacist.
yawn … just go ahead and add this to the growing list of questions you refuse to answer. Go ahead and go back through the thread and count the number of questions you refuse to answer. Go ahead.
Yup, those darned FBI crime stats be RACIST. It’s just not acceptable to you libturds to talk about the reality of violence among black people without it being RACIST. We know, we know.
Its so sad that your entire worldview is based on a lie. Your hatred and bigotry towards whites isn’t helping anyone, especially you. How about you take this sound beating I’ve given you today and use it to better yourself??
Oh, and you’re also way off base with your Lee Atwater comments. This dude, in talking about the Southern Strategy, did indeed admit that an important part of their campaign efforts was to take advantage of the racism that southern whites felt towards blacks. Not cool, but also a long time ago. Plus, you’re equating the multifaceted “conservative movement” with only one small part of the Republican strategy over the years. Most conservatives are in no way racist (unless you live in the south, in which case, YES, these people are racist a**holes). Stop equating all of conservatism with the behavior of one small and thoroughly objectionable section of our ranks.
Donald Trump.
Enough said.
yawn
I don’t see you b*tching and complaining about Democrats taking advantage of the racism that blacks feel towards whites in their campaigning, even though we both know they clearly do.
There’s no anti-white campaigning going on.
Uh huh. Just like there’s currently no “anti-black” campaigning going on either, now is there?
It’s anti-Latino. Same racism, different target.
Trump is winning the primary on a platform of nothing but racism.
No, it’s anti-illegal immigration. Illegal immigration of ALL races. Try actually reading what Trump has to say before spewing your nonsense.
Thanks for admitting that your answer is no.
Didn’t I tell you to learn to read? I did not say no, or yes either. I simply answered that my willingness to spend my tax dollars or not has nothing at all to do with race. Btw, can you even point out a tax policy that would only benefit blacks?
Anything that would improve the inner cities would help mostly black people.
But you don’t want that. You already said so.
Inner cities? Ok, I guess so. But I did NOT say no, now did I? You really should stop with the bald-faced lying, it doesn’t help your argument at all.
You did say no.
Prove it.
Are you saying you do want your tax dollars going to improving quality of life in the inner cities?
LOL, can’t prove it, now can you?
YES, I do want my tax dollars to go to improve the inner cities, but NOT just for blacks, or just for whites either. Race has nothing at all to do with this.
If you improve life in the inner cities, you will be helping almost entirely black people.
Let me know when you actually do something to make that happen.
I won’t hold my breath.
When was the last time you volunteered at a soup kitchen, or gave money to the local food bank? I give every month, and volunteer a few times a year.
I won’t hold my breath.
Black crime is down because we’ve put so many of them in jail.
Why does their race matter?
Because the truth matters.
That’s not an answer.
LOL, “no motive”!!! Sure, there is plenty of motive, you libturds just don’t want to talk about it, huh? Since the black gay guy is as left-wing as it gets, a “professional injustice collector” as one official put it.
http://www.cbsnews.Com/news/virginia-shooting-wdbj7-gunman-classic-injustice-killer-nypd-official/
AAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA, SUCK IT libturds!
You seem quite giddy that two people are dead.
Hmmmm … the same type of “giddines” that you circle jerk libturds show so abundantly whenever any conservative does anything like this?
Recent IFON headlines:
RIGHT-WING OPEN CARRY ‘PATRIOT’ SHOOTS AND KILLS HIS 3 AND 4-YEAR-OLD SONS
LAFAYETTE MOVIE THEATER SHOOTER WAS A RACIST, RIGHT-WING EXTREMIST TEA PARTIE
FOUR-YEAR-OLD SHOOTS HIMSELF WITH HIS ‘RESPONSIBLE GUN OWNER’ GRANDFATHER’S GUN
Shall I go on?
No, you’re being far more gleeful.
Uh huh … did you see the post from this bozo below:
“No motive”?!? I bet when you find this a-hole he’s going to be your typical pent up, Republican, Trump loving, FOX news GOP Tea-bagger. No motive?!? The Republicans with the help of FOX news always gives a motive!
Don’t care about him. I’m talking about you.
You’re taking joy in the deaths of two people.
Course you don’t. You’re a Blame Conservatives All The Time type libturd circle jerker. You can’t see that your side is far worse.
I’m taking no joy at all, unlike you whenever a conservative does something wrong. Stop your pathetic whining.
You’re clearly taking joy in this.
You’re clearly projecting.
Nope.
You know what, I AM taking a little joy in this. Not the killings, but in this little hack site’s fumbling over the right way to spin this story in order to avoid pointing out how truly liberal this guy really is. THAT part is truly joyful.
It’s an example of how racism hurts us all.
Conservatives created Dylann Roof. Dylann Roof created Vester.
But conservatives have no interest in ending racism.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!
Wait, wait, wait. Why aren’t you blaming Bush? Where’s the Bush blaming?
“Dylann Roof created Vester” … LMAO!!! … wow, you’ll never stop being a prissy lil b*tch victim, will you?
Like I said, conservatives like you have no interest in ending racism. Even if it hurts white people, too.
Yawn. Sure we do, we just don’t see racism as the cause of every last one of our problems, including the type of self-inflicted problems that breaking the law all the time can cause.
The conservative movement is based on white supremacy. You couldn’t get anything done without it.
Baloney. Conservatives LOVE people like Allen West, Herman Cain, Ben Carson, Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, Clarence Thomas, Mia Love, Shaq, and many other black conservatives. It’s about ideology, not skin color.
Wait, wait, wait. So, conservatives are at fault for “creating” Dylann Roof, but liberals are NOT at fault for “creating” Vester?? How does that work exactly? I thought those goose and ganders and all were created equal.
