PANAMA CITY, Fla. — A gunman has opened fire during a Florida Panhandle school board meeting. It's not immediately known if there were fatalities or injuries.

A WMBB television reporter at Tuesday's meeting says the man came up to the podium at the Bay District School Board meeting and said 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 tells her station he then pulled out a handgun and started talking.

Yanes says a school board member hit the gunman with her purse and he pushed her to the ground and started firing randomly.

Often, the criminals are on the school board.

Yup. In the extraordinarily rare occasion that this kind of thing happens, I have to wonder what it was that precipitated the event. Was it a Drega moment, or  just a nutjob.

I find it interesting to look at the reactions of sites like this and DU before any real information is in. The knee jerk responses are informative.

Given how heavy-handed government at all levels can be these days, and how aribtary and capriciously they often act, it's suprising that something similar doesn't happen more often.

Thankfully Gun free zones have prevented shootings in places like Columbine, VT, Westroads Mall in Omaha and the Amish school. Oh wait, never mind.

The superintendent is an incredibly brave man. Several times he asks the shooter to let the others go.

Roger that. A real hero.

The lady was carefully taking aim at the hand with the gun; she was trying to knock it out of his hand. She's no small change, either.

liberals again acting out and trying to hurt people.
Will the white house and the media be blamed for inciting this action seeing as they play the class warfare card all the time.

Some might say so. Others might think he'd been driven to it by an arbitrary and capricous government. Personally, I've seen enough of the latter to believe it.

Thank you Clay Duke for taking yourself out! Society thanks you! Hopefully you will cause a massive copy cat situation less the hostage taking thingy!

The media blackout on this guy's background was an indication that he was NOT a conservative.

I’m sure the media will be making much of his being yet another dangerous liberal nutcase.

He was a VICTIM doncha know......

Was Clay Duke the victim of economic failure?

Published: December 15, 2010

"A bigger question hangs over the whole scenario and concerns the current state of the economy and its trickle down effect on the poorer sections of society. Clearly Duke had a violent history and was perhaps unable to find more constructive ways to settle disputes, but he was also desperate given that his family was reduced to a single income."

News that the MSM will cover up. It does not fit their profile of Tea Party Gun Nuts.

I am grateful that they are ok, but this press conference is gag worthy. They act like they just went through Vietnam or Afghanistan. It is rather funny. I absolutely am glad that they are ok, but this is way over the top.

“Gunman opens fire during Fla. school board meeting”

‘Ever wonder why this kind of thing is rare at shooting ranges?’

Subject: The psychology of Concealed Carry

“Okay, Mr. Smith,” the cop says, “I see your CCW permit. Are you carrying today?”

“Yes, I am.”

“Well then, better tell me what you got.”

Smith says, “Well, I got a .357 revolver in my inside coat pocket. There’s a 9mm semi-auto in the glove box. And, I’ve got a .22 magnum derringer in my right boot.”

“Okay,” the cop says. “Anything else?”

“Yeah, back in the trunk, there’s an AR15 and a Benelli Tactical Shotgun. That’s about it.”

“Mr. Smith, are you on your way to or from a gun range...?”

“Nope.”

“Well then, what are you afraid of...?”

“Not a damn thing”
