    Alabama TV station rejected Virginia shooter Vester Flanagan over concerns of erratic behavior

    "I checked with people I know who worked with him at a previous station and the feedback was not indicative of the kind of employee we would want on our team so we passed," Henning said. "The feedback included things like getting in a fight at a company Christmas party and being difficult to work with.

    "That was more than enough to know he wasn't going to be someone we would want working here," he added.

    A TV station here in Indianapolis called off all live shots the rest of the day out of concern for reporters' safety.

    Gawker was ready to go crazy this morning, assuming this was a horrible white man.

    It's un-news if you can't see it. Police are Big Brother.

    Which is why you get a nice smartphone and sync your photos and videos to Google, Microsoft etc.

    Cops can hijack your phone and/or delete your content but at least it has been uploaded to the cloud.
