Ahhh...interesting. I hadn't seen that angle yet. Well...I stand by the second part of my statement.Daholt757 wrote:they weren't blanks. a safety officer came in behind him.

One round hit the binder in front of the superintendent and shot it across the table. Inside Edition had a pic of gun and the binder but I still can't find that anywhere.allingeneral wrote:Ahhh...interesting. I hadn't seen that angle yet.

I can't go so far as so say the men in that room are not "men", but they have been lulled into submissiveness by society today. I don't for a second believe the shooter had no intention to harm anyone. The only reason he didn't hit them (despite his wife's claim) is he couldn't use the gun. His first shot when low and left; an obvious flinch, and his second shot was an AD into the floor.
Yep, I hadn't heard the bit about the security office running to the car. Could you post a link to that? His wife is an enabler and a part of the problem. She tried to make stupid excuses for him.NewColonial wrote:The inaction of the men in that room illustrates the problem with Americans today.

Oh, yea, that "security" guy? He did a "peakaboo" into the room early on, and then ran to his car for his vest and more ammo. He's a tool and should find another line of work. The fight was on and he left. His job is security and if he didn't come prepared, he should have fought with what he had. The gunman had his pistol on the superintendent for a good three seconds before firing, yet the guard was in the back waited until after he fired to shoot.
The only bright side is some of the lamestream press is covering this. This incident shows the fallacy of "gun control" laws. Gun free zone, convicted felon, laws against brandishing, laws against hostage taking.... Worked out well, eh?

True. The founders reasoned that a corrupt government doesn't care to much about its citizens protecting themselves or about hunting. A corrupt government cares a whole lot about the people deciding they have had enough and taking action to change said corrupt government.Tweaker wrote:Well, the 2nd Amendment was not meant as a method of resolving employment termination cases.

Aha! Now we have the motive. The poor guy counldnt read and was angry with himself so he went to school. Mystery solved.
We need to commission a government study to determine exactly how/why a gun was brought into a gun free zone. This should only take about 20 years to conclude!Jakeiscrazy wrote:Or maybe he saw it and took the time to peel it off the window before entering!zephyp wrote:Indeed. One of those great mysteries.
