'One man has been taken out of the school board offices on a stretcher and appears to be dead, according to a reporter on the scene. The reporter was told the only injured person was the gunman.

No citizens were injured, according to the latest reports.'

1. Was the dead man a foreign exchange student?

"No citizens were injured..."

[Recursion]

9. I think "citizen" as in "not a cop or the shooter" (nt)

[Scurrilous]

2. More:

"The Associated Press is reporting that a man came up to the podium at the Bay District School Board meeting and said that he had a motion. He then pulled out a can of red spray paint and painted a "V'' with a circle around it.

Reporter Nadeen Yanes told her station that he then pulled a handgun and started talking.

School Board member Ginger Littleton struck the gunman with her purse and he pushed her to the ground and started firing randomly."

11. Ginger Littleton is one of the best members of our school board here.

Smart and, as we see now, fearless.

7. Like this, I wonder?

3. This is a weid story

a V with a circle?

Wait for it, when we are told he was an anarchist

[madmax]

5. Yes, here it comes

V for Vendetta? Nah, too obvious...

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. Yes V for Vendeta, when comics become symbols

16. Yes, indeed.

But if people think waving a gun around is OK, it isn't. This is the type of violent action I'm personally very worried about. Vandalism is a property crime, it can rise to a felony if the property damaged is significantly expensive, but at least it is non-violent.

15. Yes, that sounds a bit like it.

But, I bet this was real, not manufactured. This is strange, but the whackos out there are going to start coming out of the woodwork.

6. Isn't that Scarborough Country?..n/t

[DrDan]

12. yes - he is from Panama City

[QC]

14. I believe he is from Pensacola. n/t

8. Well, revolution's gotta start somewhere - but a school board??

Seriously - why can't we skip over the piddly school board and head to DC and spray paint the image above on all OUR buildings until OUR servants get OUR message to not bankrupt the middle class to give the rick a tax cut.

[Recursion]

10. What did Rick do to you?

Why shouldn't he get a tax cut?

17. Here's the shooter's Facebook:

He fancied himself an anarchist and was a big fan of Media Matters, Indymedia, etc. I fear that hate radio is going to have a field day with this.
