12/14/2010 11:06:57 PM

EMP, especially considering what it took to get there.

12/14/2010 11:09:41 PM

Ginger's the only one with any balls.

Seriously, those men were regretting they didn't follow ginger's lead when he leveled that gun.

Here's the rest, up until he blows his brains out.

C'mon, two hands on on a pistol. Dude didn't practice, obviously.

CLAY DUKE...YOU'RE ALIVE...AND YOU'RE A HORRIBLE SHOT

12/14/2010 11:13:59 PM

Hell I'd let the guy shoot at me all day long, as long as I didn't have an apple on my head or something

had someone there been CCing, no one would have had to witness his mumbling and bad shooting

12/14/2010 11:20:56 PM

No, the concealed carrying person would have been charged with murder.

And concealed carry isn't allowed in banks, bars or government meetings...you know, all the places where angry people reach their limit.

true.. forgot where this happened

makes you wonder what the armed "Chief of security" was doing in the back of the room... watching it all go down?

12/14/2010 11:25:51 PM

Nah, he did good. Was in position but not obvious. Almost a little late though.

“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% of the population. Rich Republicans, Rich Democrats… same-same… rich… 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…”

Populism is dangerous, but has great potential.

I didn't read the article at first...I thought Ginger was going to be the hero. Oh well.

12/15/2010 12:47:21 AM

Ginger's attack was pretty weak sauce

12/15/2010 1:00:04 AM

CNN cut out large portions of the video where the gunman confronts the board chair about broken promises in his voting record.(Using drastic school budget slashes to force through tax hikes, same old trick politicians have been using for ages.) He also states that he's broke and generally does a pretty good job expressing his desperation. The media version makes him seem like a madman...which is not entirely true.

Also, at one point he spots the security guard at the back of the room. "Hey man, why don't you come down here?" Security guard:"Nah man, I'm good." Hahaha

12/15/2010 1:07:52 AM

If you have a gun and you're threatening to kill someone, you are a madman. Reasoning is irrelevant. If you don't like the rules/system/whatever, leave.

12/15/2010 1:18:23 AM

The fact that he didn't cap Ginger and the fact that he missed from such short range makes me think he didn't actually have the guts to kill anyone.

12/15/2010 1:22:11 AM

I don't approve of this use of killstreak.


It should only be used as if call of duty gameplay existed in real life.

I'm AstralAdvent and i approved this message.

I feel like it was kind of a half-assed attempt at killing them. Mostly suicide, but if a few nasty politicians went with him he'd be ok with it. He didn't mess with ginger at all. Sad story. Seemed like he was probably pretty intelligent but had mental problems.

12/15/2010 1:41:56 AM

Jesus Christ. I don't know about this crazy asshole, but several people in that video showed some serious balls. Ginger tried something, even if it wasn't well thought out. The one dude said it was his fault and said that everybody else should get to leave.

All in all, I'm impressed.

12/15/2010 1:55:17 AM

Poor Ginger....when he didn't drop the gun, she thought she was toast. I would have too...atleast she had the balls to try it. If i would have been behind the desk, i woulda been in the fetal position

These are school board members, they can hardly be considered politicians. There's not really much room for corruption, certainly incompetence though.

12/15/2010 2:13:29 AM

old lady has seen one too many movies where gramma beats attackers off with her purse

12/15/2010 2:26:57 AM

holy shit at the old lady. damnz

Seems like the guy just bought the gun and didn't know how to use it considering he shot the floor by accident on the 2nd shot... Big bag of fail and thank god for that.

Come back to me when a similar 'madman' takes out those kansas church folks who hate on everyone.

12/15/2010 2:56:54 AM

Ginger left the room and fucking came back to help those poor men. The least they could have done was jumped the man while she had him distracted. I can't imagine the regret those men would have now if Duke shot/killed her and they all sat in their chairs and watched. And seriously? No one saw her coming from behind him? This was all in all rediculous.

Props to Ginger for trying and thank goodness she's okay.

12/15/2010 2:59:41 AM

i think everyone in the room was in amazement that she was about to do that. I won't lie, if an old lady did that, I'd probably freeze up in amazement too with such a half assed plan like that.

12/15/2010 3:05:37 AM

Thought this was gonna be a hitler thread lol

12/15/2010 9:11:27 AM

The fact that Ginger didn't freeze up and go for the Flight scenario when it was available was an amazing sight to see, can you imagine if everyone was that brave? It wasn't exactly the best option, but at least it was something - and if this joker knew how to shoot it would have been the last something most of those guys would have ever seen

Why would a concealed carrying person get charged with murder for this? Homeboy was waving a gun around with the intent to kill.

12/15/2010 9:57:49 AM

Ginger got some balls. Shoulda thought that through a little better though...

12/15/2010 10:47:33 AM

Ginger was amazing. I also think those who remained on stage did a great job, esp for not having any kind of training for shit like that. Esp the one guy that offered himself to let the other guys go. Pretty damn brave.

seriously? wait until it's life or death and try to answer that to yourself.

I say good outcome to a terrible situation.

12/15/2010 10:51:42 AM

Life or death??

If I am a fail old lady armed with nothing but a purse, I'll be damned if I am going to go back and attack an armed assailant after I made it to freedom.

She is lucky Clay didn't ring a shot off into her thigh or something for being a stupid bitch.

people do crazy shit in situations like that

12/15/2010 11:12:09 AM

I'm not sure how anyone could consider this hilarious.

12/15/2010 11:23:32 AM

Ginger about got her ass blown away.

If I hadn't seen that no one (aside from the gunman) died, I'd have fully expected him to shoot her ass.

lol at the second shot fired at the floor

12/15/2010 11:41:42 AM

I wanna see the security guy in action.

12/15/2010 11:43:11 AM

Yea, I'm still confused how homeboy is sitting in the back and doesn't draw up and tell this fool to put his piece down and walk away. If anything he should have shot the guy when Clay drew on the board members.

Hindsight is always 20/20 with this shit, but Ginger gave out the "holy shit I'm going to die" scream. It was funny the second time I watched it, but the first time I was riveted. And I agree, CCW would not have really helped the situation because the fucking guard was back there with a gun too.

12/15/2010 1:08:00 PM

Guy sounds like Ron Swanson

12/15/2010 1:09:41 PM

^^ I don't think that the officer had a gun back there the whole time, judging from the 2 videos I saw.

Plus, I just find it extremely hard to believe that he wouldn't have immediately drawn his weapon as soon as it was safe to do so, and lit the dude's ass up. Obviously he wouldn't have been able to do so from his angle, as if he missed, he would have hit the board members, but the guy was up there for a while, and he probably could have found an alternate way around.

12/15/2010 2:05:56 PM

I think the gun has blanks in it...the way he was pointing and it just randomly shooting.
