He claimed the cameraman complained about him to management, that he was a victim of racism and Sexual Harassment. He suggested that he was mistreated because he was a gay black man. Eventually after many incidents of his anger coming to the fore, we dismissed him. And he did not take that well. Reporter in the suicide note, flanagan expresses admiration for mass murderers, specifically the columbine killers and the Virginia Tech shooter, whom he said he personally knew. In one of his final callous gestures, a man claiming to be flanagan called abc news in new york around 10 00 a. M. , he said he shot two people. He hung up and we contacted authorities.

All his fans were questioning the singers taste and they breathed a sigh of relief because a lot of them diplomat like the lion. But he said he was only joking about joking.
