The comments that became a reporter’s death sentenceThe words are a part of everyday conversation —
“swinging” by an address and
going out in the “field.”But in the twisted mind of Virginia gunman Vester Lee Flanagan II, they were pure racism — and saying them became a death sentence for Alison Parker.
“We would say stuff like, ‘
The reporter’s out in the field.’ And he would look at us and say, ‘
What are you saying, cotton fields? That’s racist.’
The general manager brought in watermelon for the entire news team. He’s like, ‘Nope, this is out for me. You guys are calling me out because I’m black.’ ”
Flanagan even declared that 7-Eleven was racist because it sold watermelon-flavored Slurpees.
Meanwhile, authorities revealed Thursday that
Flanagan planned on getting away after the murders, and that suicide was a last resort.
Inside the rental car where he killed himself during a police pursuit,
cops found a briefcase with three license plates, a wig, a shawl, an umbrella, sunglasses, a black hat, and a to-do list.
Cops also discovered a Glock 19 pistol with multiple magazines and ammunition, a white iPhone, several letters and notes, a “powder residue” and “bodily fluids.”
At Flanagan’s house in Roanoke, cops found evidence that he was a self-absorbed slob who indulged in gay porn in his spartan living space.
They found
unwashed sex toys, cat feces and
several pictures of himself on his refrigerator, according to the Daily Mirror.
Prior to their search, officers entered the residence through the balcony, fearing Flanagan might have left booby traps.
