Vester Lee Flanagan’s bosses called 911 on the day they fired him from WDBJ because of his volatile behavior. ...Could a guy like that legally buy a gun? No problem!
At a February 2013 meeting, WDBJ managers told Flanagan he wasn’t a good fit and would be terminated. Flanagan -- who went by the on-air name Bryce Williams -- became “agitated,” then issued a threat, according to documents obtained by The Daily Beast that were filed in Flanagan’s lawsuit against the station in 2014. (Flanagan lost.)
“He repeated … his feeling that firing him would lead to negative consequences for me personally and for the station,” former station manager Dan Dennison said. The manager said Flanagan “said he had to go to the bathroom, stood up abruptly, stormed out of the room, and slammed the door” -- prompting a frightened sales team to take shelter in a locked office. During the episode, Flanagan told police there was a watermelon in a station hallway and that was akin to someone calling him the N-word. Flanagan flipped off employees and swore at them....
Finally, Flanagan handed his boss a small wooden cross and warned, “You’ll need this.”

In America, you can walk into a gun shop or gun show, dripping human blood, and have brain-goo all over you, and instead of calling in the police, the sellers will flock to you and beg you to buy their newest "killer toys!"
Profits above people, folks.
THAT, is what America really stands for!
