Florida School Board shooting, anyone seen this yet?(disturbing)

Its a few days old, you probably seen it on the news. If you haven't this is some scary near death experience. The board member begged "Please Don't" before the gunman opened fire at him and other members execution style. Hopefully no board members were hit except for the gunman who was shot(wounded) by the Security Guard, he later killed himself with his gun.(not seen on the vid.

Note-The gunman apparently had no experience with the firearm. He had no trigger control and was jerking the trigger causing his hand to push the gun downwards. This is what caused the gun to shoot low, not because he didn't know how to aim the sights.

Still, kudos for trying right lol.
 
Any media outlets start throwing blame on Alan Moore's graphic novel "V for Vendetta" yet? Even though the horrid act has no correlation to themes of the book, I can see some blowhard's jumping to unfounded conclusions.

Scary situation. Glad the security guard was able to intervene in time.

Yeah, especially the media blames anything and everything except the actual problems.

He may not have been right in the head, but they did say several times that his wife was fired and they became destitute in some way. Depending on how difficult that situation was, the majority of that led him not being able to cope properly. He may be crazy, have a mental illness, what have you... but if my wife got fired by someone who didn't even know what she did or who she was and it made me poor, I would be very upset.

The scariest thing is the thin line is there for everyone.

That video contains a lot of epic fails.. first one was the woman using a dangerous purse to take out the gunman. But, I still can't believe shit like this happens around the world.. stupid wealthy people. And stupid man for giving up on life.

American resolve is bullshit. A lot of citizens think that when they have to give up a couple of meals that it is the end of the world and there is no coming back.

After all this his wife still doesn't have a job, will most likely never get one in her field, no husband to help, probably has to pay to get the walls fixed and maybe a cleanup crew for her fat crazy dead husbands carcass fluids, and the world just has another story to make them feel better about their situations.
Best post ever.

But x820, I was just saying everyone has a breaking point. It doesn't excuse what he did or anything, I was just saying that I can see a lot of other people I already know doing that in some way.

I understand, but claiming that doing something as stupid as this, not to mention cowardly as this line was kind of strething imo.

I mean he apparently doesn't know why she got fired in the first place, for all we know they had just cause in doing so.

If I would have to let go one of my boys for whatever reason, they're out of there in a heartbeat, it's how it works in the grown up world.

All that aside, instead of dragging his fat ass into that building with a weapon (with the sole purpose of dominating 'the guilty' for a temporary ego boost), he could have take that same gun and gotten his family some cash instead. Wich would be also wrong ofcourse, but this guy is a coward from start to finish.
I can't see how anyone with a normal state of mind would even remotely relate to all that.

Knowing you outside the forum, I figured there would be a backstory to what you were saying. :)

i wonder if it was inexperience or just not having the guts to kill a man with all that shitty firing probably both what an idiot too bad the guard didnt put one through his head sooner.

I would say inexperience. Most new shooters tend to yank the trigger to the rear pushing the gun downwards and you end up shooting low. Like I said before, he didn't miss because he didn't know how to properly aim the sights..its because of lack of trigger control.
