Man Shoots up School Board Meeting
Pretty scary situation. Looks like an attempted suicide-by-security guard attempt that he had to finish off himself.

What's up with the "V," was that some sort of Paulbot insignia? 
So much for gun-free zones...

I hate to to be the one to say...... But it seems the SWAT Team should of been right out side the door. Why did they wait until the shooting to start/end before making entry. There should of been cops stacked at the door. As soon as he fired the first shot they should of been coming in.

According to another news source, it was a school security officer who took down the suspect.

Circle-V is a visual acronym for 'vicious circle' - the school board and observers shoulda picked up on that one as soon as he painted it on the wall and upped their concerns about the guy's intentions.

I'd have to agree with Richard on this, because the only other place I've seen that symbol was in V for Vendetta. I haven't heard anything that said he was an anarchist.

What was scary for me was that the MEN (loosely used) just sat there while this guy worked himself up to the rage for shooting. Then...when he starts shooting, they cower and continue to SIT!!! WTH!!!???? Only a WOMAN had the gumption to go up to him and start slamming him with her purse. What the hell has this world come to??

One thing that it brought to the forefront for me personally is to raise my level of general alertness.

True. But on the other hand what do you expect when you have a crappy economy, a government that continues to spend and grow, the billions spent on the 'O' Tour Live, an increasing DHS Snitch network, an open border, large scale fraud that goes unpunished, bailouts, Pensions getting robbed, Benefits for Non-Citizens, banks making record profits in a crappy economy, Global Warming Scam, Uncollected Government Employee Back Taxes, Fluorescent Light bulbs, Ms. Obama and the Food Police, government taking over private business, new regulations that hinder private business, wacko special interest groups, radicals running the show.....and lets not forget special treatment for individuals like Charlie Rangel. The list is endless.
And the solution(s) generally seem to come out of our pockets.
Clay Duke's Facebook page reads:
Quote:

My Testament: Some people (the government sponsored media) will say I was evil, a monster (V)... no... I was just born poor in a country where the Wealthy manipulate, use, abuse, and economically enslave 95% of the population. Rich Republicans, Rich Democrats... same-same... rich... they take turns fleecing us... our few dollars... pyramiding the wealth for themselves. The 95%... the us, in US of A, are the neo slaves of the Global South. Our Masters, the Wealthy, do, as they like to us..."
|
While I think there is 'some' truth in what he stated, Mr. Duke had bought hook, line and sinker the 'Rich is Evil' and 'US VS. Them' mentality. Not all wealthy people are running scams, but I think it is likely we will see a increasing trend in the number of people that have the view of Mr. Duke.

Look at what passes for a "man" on television these days.
So-called "men" make Wally Cox look macho, now.
It's the feminization of America, and it's a major reason why every sorry POTUS we ever had was elected.
Women have been trying to deflate men's juevos since before S.B. Anthony.
Disclaimer: Dusty is not a misogynist. He is a happily married man with several female friends (who know what it means to be truly feminine.)

Looking @ the clip, the "guys" missed the opening provided by the lady with the purse. They had a clear opportunity to take the shooter down when the lady made her move; sheeple do as sheeple are I guess, nod to TR!!.

Duke was a BIG guy and armed.
The school board was unarmed and a bunch of people used to resolving issues by sitting behind desks and palavering - their SA was wholly lacking for such a situation as this one and their only recourse (as they saw it) was to apply what they knew...which they did.
Duke was crazy and looking to become a martyr.
The situation may have turned bloody if Duke had been rushed - he wasn't, and the only person shot was Duke himself...a fairytale ending.
I'd wager they'll have a better security presence at any such meetings in the future.
Coulda-shoulda-woulda...and so it goes...
