MMMMNKKAAAYYY. so, i saw a post that started off really fucking ignorant posted by some white person about an actual thing that happened, but had turned it into some reverse racism tactic about how poc can be racist towards white people. this post spiraled into a bunch of people saying this event did not actually happen, so i have to say something. NOW, let me elaborate. this actual thing that happened was that a cameraman and news anchor were shot and murdered on live tv in moneta, virginia.

now, the shooter went by bryce williams and also vester l flanagan. he stated that the cameraman had reported him to hr and that the newsanchor had used racial slurs against him (both victims were white and the shooter was black).
that’s all i’m saying about this. this actually did fucking happen, two people were truly murdered on live tv and somehow, white people found a way to turn this into saying the shooter was an active part of the blacklivesmatter movement which is not verified at all. his tweets (as seen in the link provided above) state nothing about blm or his relationship to the movement.
i don’t care about much else that has to do with this, except letting people know that this is something that, again, actually fucking happened. my local news in maryland reran this footage all morning that day. it’s fucking real. the woman they were interviewing was shot in the back but was rushed to surgery and survived.
the following link contains footage of the event unfolding. gunshots can be heard before the cameraman goes down and feed goes back to the newsroom.

I live 45 minutes away from where the shooting in Moneta, VA took place. My best friend lives fifteen minutes away, my grandmother - ten, and my uncle, five. Many of my friends are teachers in Bedford and Franklin County. I have taught some of the children who attend these schools. Please pray for the victims and the entire situation
