Journalists shot, killed in Virginia during live shot

Sure, when it's mixed.

 

You just gave Exhibit A with your post. Can we get a ruling by Irony Police on this?

How strong must the merit of their position be have to resort to making personal attacks?

 

Based on this, you'd have to think that Flanagan's mother dealt with mental illness. She sounds disturbed, and someone who you would not want around children:

The mother of the gunman who murdered two journalists on live TV had violent “outbursts” when he was a child and had threatened to kill her husband and her kids, court papers charge.

The documents unearthed by the Daily News Thursday detail Vester Lee Flanagan’s parents' bitter breakup when he was 8 years old — and his dad's disturbing allegations that Flanagan and his two older sisters weren't safe around their mom Betty.

Vester Lee Flanagan Sr., now 76, filed for divorce and an emergency restraining order in the early 80s, claiming Betty's behavior toward him and the kids had been "extremely menacing and threatening" for months.

"She has also repeatedly threatened my life, at least on one occasion threatening to shoot me in my sleep, and the children have heard these threats and are understandably upset," the paperwork obtained by The News said.

The worried father also claimed Betty "threatened the children with a brush and a belt, and had I not removed these weapons from her hands, I am certain she would have used them on the children."

In his sworn statement, Vester Sr. requested physical custody of the couple's three kids Valerie, Vicki and Vester II, who were ages 10, 9 and 8 at the time.

"She has, for example, threatened the lives and safety of our children as a method of attempting to keep me from leaving the house to go to work," he said.

"At other times the respondent (Betty) is calm, rational, and charming, but the children and I are unable to anticipate or control these outbursts or threats of violence," he wrote.

Betty, who died in 2008, apparently did not respond to the claims with a sworn statement in her defense.

A judge granted the dad's request and awarded him physical custody of the kids with visitation granted to Betty. The court also ordered Betty to move out of the family's home, stay 50 yards away from Vester Sr.'s workplace and not "attack, strike, threaten or otherwise disturb the peace of the three minor children."

The couple's final divorce judgment was granted in August 1982, the records obtained by The News show.

EXCLUSIVE: Vester Flanagan's mom had 'violent outbursts'

So, what happened to Flanagan's mom after she divorced, and lost custody of her children? Was she institutionalized?

Oh no. She was a school teacher in Oakland for 37 years.

 

That was quite a long set-up.

 

C'mon. You have multi-post set-ups.

That info was all pertinent. Would have been hard to summarize.

 

I'm playing chess, here.

Everyone else is playing checkers.

 

Bet she was never late for work.

 

Clarification: you are playing chess to make people cry.

 

I read something about that at InferiorityComplex.com.

 

Issues.

 

What's the significance of this new meme of yours?

 

I believe that he believes that we understand it.
