This is one of the scariest things I've ever seen.

Here's the following story:

3. FauxGnus isn't any better in print format...
Than it is live on TV... but you don't have to hear their pathetic whining when you read. That's a plus!

2. I wonder what his Freeper handle was...
This was truly frightening! It looked like he actually shot someone, but they were ducking and said later that there were bullet holes in his seat... he literally dodged a couple of bullets!

:scared:

4. I don't think that's what happened.
He said in the video,“Our benefits have run out. We’re broke.”

And I don't think he was a freeper, either. Among the sites listed on his Facebook page are several liberal sites, including Media Matters. (The link is down now.)

He was an ex-con, which limited his options. Sounds like he was just a guy at the end of his rope, for an assortment of reasons.

6. I doubt he’s a freep.
I can’t imagine the horror of his situation. And while I do not in any way condone shooting up a school board meeting, I feel empathy for his distress.

5. Tragically, this is only the beginning.
Panama City, FL yesterday

A man held the Panama City, FL School board hostage before fatal shooting.


.....

On a Facebook page under his name, the only dated entries are from Dec. 7 and 8. The page shows a cryptic message in the "About Me" section.

"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 percent of the population. Rich Republicans, Rich Democrats ... same-same ... rich ... they take turns fleecing us ... our few dollars ... pyramiding the wealth for themselves."

His Facebook profile picture is the red V symbol he spray-painted on the wall during the meeting, and his page includes photos from the film version "V for Vendetta," which was also a graphic novel.

He quotes billionaire Warren Buffett, who told the New York Times in 2006: "There's class warfare, all right, but it's my class, the rich class that's making war and we're winning."

..... LINK




People in this country are at breaking point.

7. also: "Neo-slaves of the global south..." Ticker guy has good read on it, one...
... of his good ones, others, you can trash.

""My Testament: <snip>...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...""

8. There were some very brave people
in that room. Foolish maybe, but brave.

10. Interesting
Most likely he was a teabagger. They are all armed anti-government thugs. I think if we continue to allow these teabaggers to spew their hatred we will continue to see more and more of this type of violence..... and I am sure he was a card carrying NRA member that was upholding his second ammendment rights..... :eyes:

11. I don't know why others here think he was a freeper. There's
nothing in that (yes, poorly written) story to indicate that.
