**UPDATE BELOW**
Strange case here.
A man carrying a pistol on Tuesday took hostages at a school board meeting in Florida’s Panama City, and was later shot in the standoff, according to local TV report.
How’d he get a gun into a gun-free zone?
The report said it’s believed the man fired blanks at school board members, and was then shot by authorities. Other details were not immediately available.
Blanks can be just as deadly as live bullets, and of course if this freak HAD loaded real ammo there WOULD be dead people. Also given that blanks take a bit of hunting to find either he was a horrible shot and the cops just haven’t found his bullet holes yet…or he was dead-set to raise some pulses. Then there’s this:
The man addressed the school board briefly before using a can of red spray paint to paint a large “V” with a circle around it on the wall of the building.
Sounds like the symbol of the Alan Moore comic V for Vendetta.
I blame 4-Chan!
**UPDATE** Appears that first story is almost 100% bullshit.
Looks like no blanks, just bad shooting, and no cops, he did himself in. I guess he was pissed because his wife was fired, and that is DEFINITELY a v-for-vendetta V he painted.
sounds like a loony attempting suicide by cop to me.
Read the update.
Ahh, took the direct route then. In that case, I’m glad he was just a lousy shot and the only other casualties are mental (not insubstantial).
Yeah go check out Today’s post on it and watch the video. Its really amazing, but also saddening, that such an unhinged and worthless asshole would be demanding mercy of such brave and honest people who were disarmed by our own misguided laws.
Much like stupid, you can’t fix assholes.
