On CNN’s The Lead With Jake Tapper, they are indicating that the Roanoke shooter owned several gay porn sites under his own name.
Between 2007 and 2008 the BGM (black, gay murderer) registered seven domain names, soliciting for “attractive and muscular men” to model for live webcams.
CNN discovered that the BGM’s true name and a Vallejo address were included in the registrations for these gay pornographic sites. In those times he worked for NDG Interactive according to the BGM’s LinkedIn site — a “business” that also was registered under the BGM’s true name.
Additionally, police found a number of items in his car (the point of his self-inflicted gunshot wound), to include the pistol itself, ammunition, and items inventoried by the local officers above. Items included a “to-do” list, 17 stamped letters and a disguise kit in a briefcase with three license plates.
This clearly precludes any such argument that the BGM “popped” at the last moment. He had instead given his act considered thought to the point of planning for his escape and further documentation of the event. These items show intent, state of mind, pre-planning and malice aforethought.
The BGM also sent a text message to another person admitting he had done “something stupid.”
I repeat: this is not an issue of gun control, though the father of the murdered cameraman is making it so. I understand his pain. More about that later. But the firearm utilized was purchased lawfully and the BGM was backgrounded as required by law.
So: was he crazy? Or was he plotting, conniving — an actual evil person?
You know my answer.
