CNN Commentator: I Believe The WDBJ Assassin

She says he was mentally ill, and he says he was victimized -- so she has no reason to doubt him.

Witness: a horrible person goes to bat for #WDBJ killer; no reason not to think he was unjustified in his grievances. pic.twitter.com/IqSvgYtyAr

Personally, I sort of doubt spree killers who are mentally ill, but Sally Kohn sees no reason to doubt this guy. He was #Black, and #OnlyBlackLivesMatter.

24 Why is she not being forced to apologize?

She's just said someone in her own profession deserved to be shot based on hurt feelings - er, no, not even that, a "sense" of victimization.
So his perceived offense was enough, didn't even have to be an actual racial slur.

Mind.Blown.

Posted by: Lizzy at August 27, 2015 06:24 PM (NOIQH)

25 The problem is, for the left, his feeling bad about himself because he claims racism - a charge difficult to trust given the guy's track record - makes them sort of sympathetic to what he did. Yeah it was bad but they kind of had it coming because of the Scarlet R.

Crush a helpless, squirming baby's head and cut through his face for a brain to harvest and sell? Not so bad. But racism, that's the worst thing ever.

No, again, I don't think she's saying that killing was justified, just that his "sense of victimization" was most likely victimized.

It's in this context: everyone is saying it sounds like his eeoc complaints and charges of racism are bullshit. Kohn says she has "no reason to believe" his "sense of victimization" (which comes from the probably bullshit charges of racism and eeoc complaints) is not justified.

At least, that's how it reads to me.

Nor does she have any reason to believe his sense of victimization was justified, other than the self-serving rants and rationalizations of a lunatic soon to be murderer.

So, incompetent with an axe to grind, or purposeful choice of words designed to stealth approve (while cowardly hiding being people's low comprehension skills) such heinous acts for perceived slights?

If you had anything to say about this, the only rational thing to say was, this was unforgivable and unjustified, no matter the perceived slights.

Fair enough, I could see that interpretation too. Twitter can be confusing with all the sloppy grammar and punctuation.

Even still, she's basically saying "no one has disproven the charges laid out in his manifesto that his victim racially slurred him."

That's an interesting take, a charitable take. I didn't think the Unibomber's manifesto was taken at face value until proven false, or any other obviously disturbed killer's lame justifications in print or video.

73 No, again, I don't think she's saying that killing was justified, just that his "sense of victimization" was most likely victimized.

If you meant, most likely justified, that's what I was speaking to, too. It doesn't matter whether he was victimized, if he felt a sense of victimization, he was justified in thinking he was victimized.

If you meant that she thinks that his sense of victimization is likely based on real victimization, I don't think she's thought it that far out, other than that if a minority feels victimization, you need to dig as far as you can to find something to justify feeling victimized, and then stop digging. But what she thinks would justify feeling victimized and what actually would justify it, are two different things. Because the sense of victimization means that there is some victimization to be found, not the other way around.

79 right newhandle, she presume his sense may well have been justified. Given his poor judgement and jobs he lost, how could she even presume that? She was placating his sense of victimhood because it fits the left's narrative.

"We think the shooting was wrong (a little), but they probably were racists anyway, since Obama says white people all have that KKK gene."

She gave victimhood narrative priority over murder by crazy man, and probably tweeted next about need for gun control.

ouch.

I'm just saying, depending on what words you fill in in your mind and where you place your punctuation, her statement could mean two different things.

One of which is obnoxious, but not really on-topic about the murders. Which would be that his feelings of victimization was justified. As in, he probably was treated poorly as a gay black man.

The other is a horrible thing to say. Which is that because he was a gay black man, and was victimized, then he was justified in killing these 2 people.

So I'm just pointing out that there are two ways to read that.

98 Sure, every place this clown worked, he claims he suffered racial insults, was denied promotions, etc. He filed claims everywhere he went. He sued the station and when it went to an arbitration board, they threw it out.

But Sally Kohn knows that he really did suffer racial and sexual bias EVERYWHERE he went.

Amazing he was able to purchase a gun. Why didn't the gun shop, the Feds, etc. all deny him a gun permit because he was black and gay?

101 If you meant that she thinks that his sense of victimization is likely based on real victimization, I don't think she's thought it that far out, other than that if a minority feels victimization, you need to dig as far as you can to find something to justify feeling victimized, and then stop digging. But what she thinks would justify feeling victimized and what actually would justify it, are two different things. Because the sense of victimization means that there is some victimization to be found, not the other way around.

103 There is no reason to doubt that militant homosexuals are mentally ill as well, Sally dear. What else would explain this business of assuming that the shooter's homosexuality led to him having anger management issues so bad that he was canned by journalists, who, by and large, tolerate nearly any idiocy put forth by homosexuals?

So, you see, two can play that idiotic game.

I was not accusing you of having low comprehension, and I agree. I think it is intentionally ambiguous to evoke a response.

It's despicable.

Eh. I guess. But your second one takes a lot more thought.

Now, I could make jokes about "low thinking individuals" here, but my real point on that is that Sally Khaaaaaaan! is (supposedly) a professional communicator. Professional communicators know that people are going to put in the least effort possible toward understanding your statements. Therefore, she should know (or should have known) that the first way people would take her statement is assuming she was saying the killings were justified. If she *weren't* saying that, it was incumbent upon her to clarify her statement.

114 Kohn says she has "no reason to believe" his "sense of victimization" (which comes from the probably bullshit charges of racism and eeoc complaints) is not justified.

That's not impossible but she worded it really really badly and had to backpedal later because of it. And honestly... she probably secretly thinks the other, too. Its the Fisk effect: we white people have it coming.

138 While one might argue that anyone who commits cold blooded murder is 'mentally ill', I do not necessarily accept that. There have been an infinity of cases where the murderer coolly thought things through, recognized the risks, and decided that the reward was worth those risks.

I do not think that the act alone automatically translates to 'mentally ill'.

Moreover, the more rational and calculated the 'physical' plan, the more likely I think it is that the person is not 'ill', but simply places a different value on human life than others might.

This guy had a complex, well thought-out (however stupidly executed) plan, pondered at length. I'm not giving him the 'mental illness' pass.

154 If ol' Vester felt victimized, it is likely that he was perceiving his own guilt at being a rump ranger. There is a reason that homosexuality was listed as a mental illness at one time. I suppose one could argue that "gay is okay" but I have yet to see the truth in that one. I'm thinking that the combination of being a homosexual black man in the south, land of Christians, probably got to him.

Could be he should have tried changing venues or changing life choices. Particularly the homicidal ones.

170 Who on Earth cares whether his sense of victimization was justified (other than Long Tall Sally)? That would only matter in determining whether he was justified in how he chose to avenge his victimization.

Even if his coworkers subjected him to a daily diet of gay and black jokes, it doesn't give him the right to murder them in response. Frankly, if Sally is saying that making a certain group of people feel unhappy at work is risking their responding with murder, then she's making a good argument that such people are too dangerous to hire in the first place.

But in actual fact, this guy's sense of victimization was created by him in his own fevered brain. The issue isn't how gays or blacks were or should be treated in TV newsrooms, but how society should deal with nut cases to prevent them from harming other people.

185 While one might argue that anyone who commits cold blooded murder is 'mentally ill', I do not necessarily accept that. There have been an infinity of cases where the murderer coolly thought things through, recognized the risks, and decided that the reward was worth those risks.

That is the position of one who denies the concept of Good or Evil.

Rational == Good, so anything Not Good must be irrational and a mental defect, because Right-Thinking People will always do Nice and Happy Fluffy Things.

It's very non-judging, and utterly useless for preventing future harm from evil actors. After, how does one prevent mental illness?

186 from weaselzippers:

Vester Lee Flanagan, the former journalist who murdered two of his former colleagues and seriously injured the woman they were interviewing at Smith Mountain Lake, legally obtained the Glock 19 9mm handgun used in the attack from a Virginia FFL after he put a deposit down on the pistol, waited a week, after passed multiple background checks.

Thomas Faison, a spokesman for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said Wednesday investigators had recovered a Glock 19 pistol that belonged to Flanagan.

Faison said the gun had been purchased "weeks ago," and that he had apparently passed a required background check. Flanagan also had a second gun, Faison added.

Scum Scamfrisco has been incredibly officially hostile to gun owners over the years, and they've basically now necked down gun stores within the SF city limits to one (1) store that has a quite limited selection, sky-high prices and caters mostly to the local police.

225 "He was rotund and not too handsome."

One of the earlier wire service photos of the guy showed him as an extremely muscular, much more trim version of himself.

I posited two theories:

(a) Self-created Photoshop by an egomaniac, or

(b) Former heavy steroid user who lost his connection.

Any old time gym rat will have observed guys going off of a long haul steroids-and-testosterone regimen, where their artificially induced muscle gains melt into pudge and they get INCREDIBLY bitchy and twitchy. A lot of "roid rage" happens when people are coming off of roids, not when they're cycling up.

(b) Former heavy steroid user who lost his connection.

So he still in some way justified in doing a spree killing. Got it.

I've lived long enough that I have been "victimized" by people of every race, creed, color and hat size in my time. Did I kill any of them? No.

Would I have been considered justified in killing any of them, regardless of how egregiously they treated me (and make no mistake, many of them fucked me over pretty goddam bad, at least in my estimation)? No.

It takes a really profligate form of stupidity to even intimate in any way, shape or form that this punk was justified in killing a couple of what amounted to strangers because they were, what? White? Straight? Because he worked at the same fucking TV station they did once?

My favorite Lemon moment was after some big ruling on gay marriage, he was standing in the street amidst all the cheering, and gleefully telling us how great this was and... "This is proof that God doesn't judge!"

Huh?

How did that conclusion appear? Because there was a huge gay crowd and God failed to destroy them with fire from the sky?

And if God doesn't judge, then who does?

244 Does she also think Andrew Cunanan was justified in slaying Gianni Versace?

There are a lot of similarities between Flanagan and Cunanan. Both grew up wanting to be famous but lacked the talent to parlay some early associations with the worlds they aspired to into any sort of a career. Like Cunanan, Flanagan, was into pornography and may have turned to male prostitution between TV jobs. As they aged and their dreams of celebrity crumbled each man became violently jealous towards those who they felt had exploited them.

As a result of those jealousies, Cunanan murdered four successful older men, three known to be openly gay, the other the father of a gay man he knew. He also murdered another person who happened to be in the way. Flanagan murdered two people who still worked at the TV station that probably had represented his last chance for a career in television. He also shot a woman who just happened to be there. Cunanan "hid in plain site" in Miami while he was on the FBI's most wanted list, as if taunting the police. Flanagan carefully planned videos of his murder and posted them on the social media, which is also a tauny.

Finally, both committed suicide when cornered.

When we have a sitting president actively using all of his power to fuel things like this and the media more than complicit about it, a lot more than a fucking "national discussion" needs to be had.
