 ROANOKE, Va. € The words are a part of everyday conversation € 
 €swinging€ by an address and going out in the €field.€ 
  
 But in the twisted mind of Virginia gunman Vester Lee Flanagan 
 II, they were pure racism € and saying them became a death 
 sentence for Alison Parker. 
  
 The 24-year-old white reporter, who was murdered on live TV 
 along with her cameraman, used the phrases as an intern at €WDBJ 
 TV in Roanoke in 2012, according to an internal complaint filed 
 by Flanagan, who was black. 
  
 €One was something about €swinging€ by some place; the other was 
 out in the €field,€?€ said the Jan. 21 report by assistant news 
 director Greg Baldwin, which refers to Parker as Alison Bailey 
 (her middle name). 
  
 Parker was never disciplined over the remarks, but Flanagan 
 never forgot them. 
  
 Hours after gunning her and Adam Ward down during their 
 broadcast Wednesday, Flanagan revealed in tweets that the 
 comments were still fresh in his mind. 
  
 €Alison made racist comments,€ Flanagan posted while he was on 
 the run from cops. 
  
 €They hired her after that??€ he wrote. 
  
 But colleagues said that it was all in Flanagan€s head and that 
 Parker was as far from racist as they come. 
  
 €That€s how that guy€s mind worked. Just crazy, left-field 
 assumptions like that,€ Ryan Fuqua, a video editor at WDBJ, told 
 The Post. 
  
 €[Those words are] just common, everyday talk. [But] that was 
 his MO € to start s-?-t,€ Fuqua €explained. €He was unstable. 
 One time, after one of our live shots failed, he threw all his 
 stuff down and ran into the woods for like 20 minutes.€ 
  
 Flanagan made the accusations a month before he was fired in 
 February 2013. The document was part of his unsuccessful 
 discrimination lawsuit against the television station. 
  
 Trevor Fair, a 33-year-old cameraman at WDBJ for six years, said 
 that the words Parker used are commonplace but that they would 
 routinely set Flanagan off. 
  
 €We would say stuff like, €The reporter€s out in the field.€ And 
 he would look at us and say, €What are you saying, cotton 
 fields? That€s racist,€?€ Fair recounted. 
  
 €We€d be like, €What?€ We all know what that means, but he took 
 it as cotton fields, and therefore we€re all racists.€ 
  
 €This guy was a nightmare,€ Fair said. €Management€s worst 
 nightmare.€ 
  
 Flanagan assumed everything was a jab at his race, even when a 
 manager brought in watermelon for all employees. 
  
 €Of course, he thought that was racist. He was like, €You€re 
 doing that because of me.€ No, the general manager brought in 
 watermelon for the entire news team. He€s like, €Nope, this is 
 out for me. You guys are calling me out because I€m black.€?€ 
  
 Flanagan even declared that €7-Eleven was racist because it sold 
 watermelon-flavored Slurpees. 
  
 €It€s not a coincidence, they€re racist,€ he allegedly told Fair. 
  
 A black former classmate of Parker at James Madison University 
 was stunned by the allegations, saying Parker was kind to people 
 of all races during their time at the Harrisonburg, Va., school. 
  
 €When I took [my journalism] job, she recommended me,€ Jessica 
 Albert told the Associated Press. €She did that for me, so she€s 
 definitely not a racist.€ 
  
 Meanwhile, authorities revealed Thursday that Flanagan planned 
 on getting away after the murders, and that suicide was a last 
 resort. 
  
 Inside the rental car where he killed himself during a police 
 pursuit, cops found a briefcase with three license plates, a 
 wig, a shawl, an umbrella, sunglasses, a black hat, and a to-do 
 list. 
  
 Cops also discovered a Glock 19 pistol with multiple magazines 
 and ammunition, a white iPhone, several letters and notes, a 
 €powder residue€ and €bodily fluids.€ 
  
 Police identified Flanagan as a person of interest in the 
 murders when he sent an unnamed friend a text message €making 
 reference to having done something stupid,€ according to a 
 Virginia State Police search-warrant affidavit. 
  
 At Flanagan€s house in Roanoke, cops found evidence that he was 
 a self-absorbed slob who indulged in gay porn in his spartan 
 living space. 
  
 They found unwashed sex toys, cat feces and several pictures of 
 himself on his refrigerator, according to the Daily Mirror. 
  
 Prior to their search, officers entered the residence through 
 the balcony, fearing Flanagan might have left booby traps. 
  
 Images obtained by the British newspaper show that his home € 
 just 500 yards from the WDBJ studios € had little furniture 
 aside from a leather couch and chair. 
  
 A neighbor said Flanagan was often €rude and arrogant€ and that 
 he would throw cat feces at apartment doors during disputes.
