The_Gabe Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Story is here http://edition.cnn.com/2010/CRIME/12/14/florida.meeting.shooting/ Video - Contains gunshots, fortunately he missed everyone he shot at and was then shot at by security http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21SRgqRCqbQ&feature=player_embedded http://www.break.com/index/school-board-shootout-1968595 Watch the second link, it has the extended version. Crazy what people do because they get fired, even more crazy is to shoot when the other person doesn't know what you're talking about. Three months banishment to 9gag is something i would never wish upon anybody, not even my worst enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giordano Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I figured this would be posted sooner, after the clear Anon/V reference this man was using.

H2PM Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 The V from V for Vendetta makes me wonder if there is something more than "his wife was fired" to all of this...

Giordano Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 The V from V for Vendetta makes me wonder if there is something more than "his wife was fired" to all of this...Well he was just very anti-government, quoted for saying he hated taxes, (as one example) probably in the tyrannical sort of sense, so its no surprise why a character like V would attract him.

Low C Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 He must have bought his firearm from Walmart the day before because it didn't look like he had ever fired a firearm prior.. Luckily no one got killed other than him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeptical Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 **cough** Easy access to handguns is so wonderful **ahem** He's psychologically unstable, he's armed, and he has someone to be angry at. We've always had people like this, and we always will. Thankfully no one was hurt. What scares the crap out of me is the thousands of veterans coming home with PTSD and other psychological disorders from overseas wars. Combine that with easy access to weapons, and all they need is someone to be angry at. "Those who give up their liberty for more security neither deserve liberty nor security."

sees_all1 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 **cough** Easy access to handguns is so wonderful **ahem** You know that in around schools are dedicated "Gun free zones"... 1000 foot buffers where its illegal to carry a firearm. That frivolous law didn't stop this guy from carrying a gun in, but I bet it stopped everyone else (law abiding citizens). If every one of those board members and people in the audience had a gun, this f---er wouldn't have got a shot off. Bet that didn't occur to you :rolleyes: . Rather that turn this into a gun law debate, I'd like to point out two key things:1. The man's wife was fired several months ago, from a teaching position from the school district. He was either fired or laid off several months ago too. The reason he said he was there was because her benefits had run out.2. The man was pissed off the school board DIDN'T raise the sales tax. He felt that if they had, his wife would have still had her job. He might've drawn that "V", except he's not "anti-government", he's very "pro-government" (wanting higher taxes and wanting his wife to have a government job). Last thing, major props to the Superintendent. He showed some real courage keeping this lunatic calm just long enough for the security guard and SWAT team to show up. Its a miracle no one got hurt. 99 dungeoneering achieved, thanks to everyone that celebrated with me! ♪♪ Don't interrupt me as I struggle to complete this thoughtHave some respect for someone more forgetful than yourself ♪♪♪♪ And I'm not doneAnd I won't be till my head falls off ♪♪ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymous1234 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 "Please don't, please don't." The guy said that so calmly it was almost humorous. Clearly the man was not looking to kill anybody though, as even after being shot at he just fired rounds off randomly in their general direction to scare them.

Bloodstain Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 The board chairman or whatever, sitting talking straight to the guy with a gun pointed at him has some balls. Glad he missed and security got him before he could hurt someone. Ginger hit him with a purse, she's got huge balls, especially for a woman.

K4ylan Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Jesus Christ, that guy didn't even try to hide under the table until the second shot. I think he legitimately missed, because he tried to aim around the table after the first 2/3 shots.

I mean, if you're going to attempt to disarm somebody, hitting them in the back with your purse isn't going to do it. He actually knocked her down and I'm surprised he didn't shoot her right there.

That doesn't make him any less of a person, it just makes his judgements likely to be unsound at the time. It does not by any means give you a right to point a gun at, or even shoot, him. When you reduce people to the point that you make it ok for them to be killed or threatened to be killed by another person, for any reason, it's very easy to descend into terrible consequences. It disturbs me a lot that so many people still have this mentality. ~ W ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killing him would not be my intention, saving everyone else would be my intention. If he died by my hand because of that, its an unfortunate consequence, but not my intention. His rights as a person went straight out the window as soon as he threatened others. You'll notice that the situation ended when the security guard shot him and the SWAT team moved in. We need more people like the security guard. 99 dungeoneering achieved, thanks to everyone that celebrated with me! ♪♪ Don't interrupt me as I struggle to complete this thoughtHave some respect for someone more forgetful than yourself ♪♪♪♪ And I'm not doneAnd I won't be till my head falls off ♪♪ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
