Chesapeake police unveil manifesto note in Walmart mass shooting 

I worked at Walmart man. It’s an extremely toxic place to work at. Got fired by a manager who was mad at me because a girl he liked, liked me. They were early to mid thirties. I was 19 at the time. I’m 30 now. Let me work a whole shift then fired me at the end. Laughed at me as I walked out the door. Bottom line is, Walmart, for me at least, was a horrible place to work at. From management to the coworkers.

I worked at Walmart 10 years ago, and am still close with people who still work there. 10 years ago to now, it's still just as toxic. Their pay sucks, and they ask so much of you. They expect you to give them all your time in the busy season, and then just cut your hours to nothing during the slow season. They don't care about their employees, and they expect way to much out of them.

Unfortunately Walmart is not the best place to work. Working there was the worst experience I ever had.

I live and work in this community. Recently, I spent days trying to find in person mental help and I couldn’t find anywhere to take me within a month. One place had a 5 month waiting list. I eventually found consistent virtual therapy through my insurance. I wonder if he had access to help. I don’t know if he would’ve taken it. He is absolutely responsible for his terror. Are we better off having instantaneous access to purchase firearms when we can’t provide a basic health service to our own community?

It's unfortunate that we have people who talk to and treat others in a way that is disrespectful.

Sounds like possibly a coworker hacked his phone (easy to do) and gave his personal information, lifestyle, quirks about himself to everyone. They talked in subtle code around him that made sense to him but not directly at him. Cruel and harsh to have to deal with that daily. I wish he would have quit and contacted HR, filed a lawsuit and criminal charges against the hacker

Leave PEOPLE ALONE FOLKS

My condolences to the families. They should investigate the claim that he was bullied at work. A training opportunity for society. Bullies can’t understand that their actions sometimes have unintended consequences.

The mainstream media can barely contain their joy whenever a tragedy happens.

He was actually the victim of workplace discrimination based on differences in core sociological beliefs that make- up a person.

He was the subject of workplace discrimination.

So Im usually not the guy that will have any sympathy for someone who commits such a horrific crime but I do have sympathy for this man. People in this world need to understand their words matter and you can't keep pushing people to limits and expect them to take it. The way it sounds they were overtly being ignorant towards him and he took it until he couldn't take no more. I don't agree with what he did and don't think that should ever be the answer but walk a mile in someone's shoes and then speak your opinion. The media and the government want to blame guns for everything but the real problem isn't the guns, it's the people behind the guns and until we can be better towards each other, this will always happen.

His note sounds like rambling nonsense.

I have Never Once heard a pleased story from a Walmart employee. I have heard complaints from Walmart employees that were quite unforgettable. I’ve read articles about the cheap wages, cheap treatment and need for public assistance Walmart employees find themselves in. All the profit goes to the billionaire owners. You think they spend a dime on employee relations? Are people truly surprised it came to this when everyone working there is miserable??? I refuse to shop there, given a choice. It’s bad business in my opinion.

You can only keep pushing someone’s bottom until you realize what that bottom do. Everyone knows of someone who has been pushed out and laughed at.

WHY are you ignoring the MENTAL HEALTH problem? When he bought the guns and ammunition is irrelevant!

Wal-mart needs to change their policies in my personal opinion. Nightly meetings in a closed confined space where someone knows people are gonna be is exactly the reason why I quit walmart and wasn't surprised to see something like this happening if the policy is universal. I worked at walmart during the overnight shift for a solid 2 months and got extremely creeped out by one of my coworkers. He came up to me while i was alone stocking an aisle , and he asked me "how would you feel about the saying "death comes through the night"", I dont really give an answer , but more so a confused and focused on my work kindof look. Anyways, he also before this told me and other employees about how he cant wait until his grandmother is dead and how he was abused as a child by her , red flags for me. I remember after he came up to me in the aisle I decided at that point i wanted to be away from him in a different department and explained all the things he had said to me to my manager (another coworker also filled out a report about him saying weird things too). They then brought him in after moving me departments and proceeded to ask him about what he had told me. Maybe its my anxiety that got the best of me but this same guy would talk about suicide and cutting himself and how the world is against him. I felt vulnerable with the circumstances of being lined up in a hallway or in a break room EVERY NIGHT, while also knowing a guy so close having morbid thoughts about death and harm. I left. Filed a police report and never looked back. Some may called me scared for leaving but a fist wont go faster than a bullet.

My Condolences to the Family who have lost love ones. We have to stop bullying people, be it on the job or not. We have to learn compassion and embrace other’s differences. This “dog eat dog” world that many brag and are proud of has indirectly caused a lot of people to snap. Society has a Spiritual problem. Each one teach one. F.Y.I. Amazon warehouse is also one of the worst places to work for. Not only do they slave you, but they also will hire just about anybody and I have seen so much bullying there. These big major corporations need to be held accountable for not checking out, thoroughly their own work place.

My daughter worked at Walmart in Maricopa, AZ for a weekend and quit because of how she was treated

Of course, there's a manifesto. It couldn't be a complete story if there was none.............

Who hacked his phone? Russia? CIA? Unit 8200? Pegasus? Will we find ever find out? Of course not.

You hear that people you've bought the gun the same day. After all these mass shootings in the last 20 years You can still buy a gun the same day.

After harassing and bullying someone the next phase is they ask Why? 🤔 No one really cares about the letter. It is what it is! Stop the bullying, geez 😒

He was a law abiding citizen with a legal gun

Oh my I wonder what the other paperwork was. That's convenient to leave out

I don't think his phone got "Hacked" I think it got stolen.. I think everyone found out he was a homosexual and it was embarrassment that led him to this.. I think it was so bad for him that even in the note knowing that he was going to die he still didn't admit it

Applications for gun licenses should be at least 6 months.. And Walmart like so many other stores can afford mental health checkups regarding all their employees.

Am I right but did they show images of the victims but not the shooter?

I read this as cheesecake police

He should not have been a manager.

I am bullied and persecuted here in Jamestown N.Y. and by the entire community. I have no recourse for it. I am stalked and harassed everywhere I go. Police won't do anything. They've done everything to destroy my life. If you push anyone far enough, they'll do something bad and it may not even be thier fault. How much abuse can you take as a human being? These issues should be dealt with the perpetrators and a deal of the responsibility should be placed entirely on them if thier bullying leads to an absolute catosphere like this...

Didn't take lot for FBI/CIA handers to turn this one...

This letter is full of paranoia. I would take his claims in the note with a grain of salt. He may be telling the truth, but it could be entirely speculation on his part. He's claiming co-workers designed a whole code to bully him? Really? He keeps claiming he didn't want to do it but something (satan) just made him. This dude needed help. To just blame bullies without looking further than that is ridiculous.

Once again, men in this society need mental help. The problem is mental health! Do something about it or this will continue.

You don’t get to buy a gun and walk out with it same day. This is a complete lie

Anyone who has a manifesto should be put on a watchlist, no normal person has a manifesto

It so sad this is what bullying and mental health has come too mental health is real people if u know something isnt right with someone address it or offer to talk or help trust me it helps alot 😢

"orcastraighted" 💀💀

"Why?" Because he was scheduled for work... Duty called.

Walmart really need to modify their working system. I hate large walmart stores coz I have to walk around to find stuff an hour. They should separate each department and stop keep many people together.

If the persons shot had been utilizing their 2nd A RIGHT and carrying open or concealed it is quite possible one of the victims would have killed the perp.

Why? Because Walmart treats us like garbage. We are treated like garbage, and YES. Our warnings about others being suspicious or violent are IGNORED. We need leadership, we need better mental health resources, we need to Walmart to care more about their associates because my store personally is suffering, and literally not a soul cares here, it's so heartbreaking. We had a previous associate commit suicide okay. It's not a joke, we spend our whole lives there just trying to pay for food and shelter - the environment needs to be switched around completely. They treat us like garbage here. I wish they cared, because I care about how hard I work and how my work appears. I wish my employer cared as much as I do about THEIR company.

He believed in God and felt Satan taking was taking control of his mind. Did he reach out for help from a pastor or church?

Quit giving the killers attention!!!!

Why y’all romanticizing his letter?

I don't believe him when he claims it wasn't planned. He purchased the gun, waited for the background check to complete, then the very day he got the gun he used it immediately, for it's intended purpose. He planned it all out.

How convenient. And sus.

note shows he was very religious..

alleged.

Interesting how many are sympathetic to the killer🙃

Crazy doesn't have a reason.

According to The Onion News not even hostages trapped in Walmart admit they shop at Walmart. Now imagine the shame of working at Walmart.............now imagine that being the last feeling you'll ever have. The media should leave the dead some dignity and pretend they were just taking a shortcut to get to the higher rent part of the mall.

Didnt show a picture of the shooter huh? Why not? I mean, i know what the dude looks like cause i had to research it, but still...

That don't make any since how could a black man buy a gun the morning of the day he did the shooting,First you have to wait days before you can receive a gun that you paid for."Very Suspicious".

Work place bullying , and producers need to stop Re making these movies about serial killers and sensationalizing these killers .. I hope our soceity can learn from this , that there’s many people in this world that has mental problem s and don’t know how to get help

Again you go back and look at any shooter. They all have one thing in common. People to stupid to realize it. Bullying. Bully’s should have stiff punishment and it starts in elementary school. You clowns better be nice to people. If you see someone being bullied stand up.

Can't help it's in there DNA

comments = full of sympathy disgusting.

He went Elliot Rodger on everyone. Sad.

Repentance is real

See you got to be careful who you laugh and pick at, you never know what a person is going through!!!

The only weapon here was the shooters brain. Mental health is so important yet it’s never talked about. Religion is meant to bring you close to god but seems like he needed to find himself and not some magical person in the sky. As a child I used to talk just like that, “I’m sorry god I’m not like you, I’m sorry for this and that” and I hated myself. I was 8! A child and I grew up thinking this way until I said “enough!” And changed my beliefs. This man needed help, just like so many of us, he lost control of what was real and what wasn’t. He lost control of what he thought life should be and ended up hurting others.

I made blaster and lasers for super future.

"Alleged" Your political correctness is absurd.

Sounds like if someone had just talked to him. He asked for forgive ahead of the sin thou shall not kill any bible readers ? Will he be forgiven ?

God doesn’t forgive you Andre

Anyone know what “social deficits” he was referring to? I think he meant maybe he was over sheltered and didn’t really know how to socialize with other people and enjoy people. I remember a girl who was book smart but challenged socially because her parents only let her go to school and back home. She eventually had a nervous breakdown but she didn’t harm anyone. It is important to let your kids play baseball or some group activities they enjoy to develop social skills. Please look for signs of a person having a hard time. Get them to talk and offer help or encouragement. He seems like he snapped but needed counseling. He probably used to talk to his mom before she passed and now didn’t have anyone to talk to. That’s what I’m getting out of the letter. Condolences to the families and sending much prayer your way.

People actually believe this

Welp! Guess they learned a lesson!

They need to change the law make gun law more restrict cause these problems isn't gonna go away gun violence is getting worst

He may rest in peace now , good man he was trying to live his life but the silly fkrs were asking for it so hard 😂

This Trump stuff is got to stop

Yay! Great job on 2nd ammendment rights, republicans!!! Bravo!!! Look what you did!!!
