The current market model is going to collapse sooner or later.. But civilisation must go on, I hope whatever comes out of the ruin is a bit more humane option, despite how highly unlikely that'll be given shitty human nature.

A gunman murdered news crew live on tv this morning in Virginia.

I would link the video footage, but no one should fucking see it. You see the gunman in frame when the camera hits the ground while he is shooting. Fucking bone chilling.

Cameraman's Last day and was going to move away with his girlfriend producer. Woman reporter was engaged to marry one of the anchormen. Absolute tragedy.

It gets worse, because the guy posted two videos on his twitter of him approaching them and raising his gun..and the second of him firing on them. This is horrific in the biggest way imaginable.

I didn't realize newsmen were also susceptible to retireny.

I, unfortunately, saw the footage (someone showed it to me). It's bad enough to know it happened, you don't wanna watch it.

Is the shooter active, in custody, or dead?

He's on the loose, and was an employee of the news company.

What a coward.

Sure bet he will either kill himself (which he should have just done in the first place) or get killed in a shootout with the police.

Broken record: We need more publicity and acceptance of assisted suicide or this type of nonsense will keep going. It won't solve the problem of crazy people, but will help alleviate it.
