Topic: Vester Flanagan

Anomalies in the Roanoke shooting coverage are explored, including the behavior of Alison Parker's boyfriend, Chris Hurst, and the technical setup of the live broadcast. The discussion applies "Occam's Razor" to suggest the shooting may have been motivated by a personal dispute or "gay lover spat" involving the shooter, Vester Flanagan, rather than the racial or homophobic motives reported in the media. Questions are also raised regarding the lack of visible wireless transmitters on the camera during the live shot.

The discussion turns to the live on-air shooting of WDBJ reporter Alison Parker and cameraman Adam Ward by former employee Vester Flanagan, who used the pseudonym Bryce Williams. John C. Dvorak notes a shift in media terminology from "cameraman" to "photographer" and criticizes President Obama for comparing domestic gun violence to terrorism. The hosts also question the role of SSRI antidepressants in incidents of workplace violence.
