Gunman Terrorizes Others, Kills Himself At Florida School Board Meeting

And the whole thing was caught on tape.

Clay Duke, the disgruntled husband of a former school-board employee with a history of mental illness, came to a school-board meeting and opened fire. He did so in protest of his wife’s not-so-recent firing (her unemployment benefits were about to run out).

Duke is revealed to have been obsessed with the film V for Vendetta and drew the V within a circle logo before pulling out his gun. He shot into the crowd, but no one was injured. At one point, a female member of the school board began hitting him with her purse and he did not shoot her.

After exchanging fire with security guards and suffering a bullet wound, Duke put the gun to his own head.

He had been diagnosed as bipolar, but couldn’t afford the proper medication to control the disorder.

His wife continues to take up for him, saying that he did not mean to hurt anyone else, and that he simply could not live in this economy. She also says that he was a skilled marksman who most likely missed the school board members on purpose.

I understand the economy is hard on everyone. The fact of the matter is that a man given his history of mental illness should probably not be allowed to brandish a weapon. Given the current laws on gun control, the only way to protect one’s self seems to be to get one’s own gun. We’re all for the Second Amendment but the more people walking around with these deadly weapons, the higher the potential for incidents like this.

The story of Clay Duke is a sad one—a defeated man who could not properly function in society due to a lack of access to medication who protested the economy and the ways of the world.

The video of his final moments is posted on the next page (if you can stomach it).

    Exactly the wrong conclusion. Mr. Duke was a “prohibited person”, and could not legally possess any firearms. Lumping him in inferentially with lawful licensees is a non sequitur. The fact is that had he not been such a lousy shot, most if not all of them would probably be dead or seriously injured. It is only by the grace of God that they weren’t.

    The legal gun that finally stopped Duke was several rooms away, and in tne time it took to arrive, he could have dispensed with everyone on the dias.

    Contrary to the opinion quoted above, the proliferation of legally-carried handguns is the logical defense against such an assault.

    Друзья , посоветуйте , кто знает или сталкивался.

    Есть потребность приобрести колечко с бриллиантом массой более карата, но понимаю , что это стоит безумных денег и мне не по карману.

    Но слышала , что есть облагороженные бриллианты, которые ничем не отличаются от обычных, но стоят дешевле в

    два раза.

    Кто-нибудь вообще держал такие в руках, они правда красивы ?

    Выигрыш

    Лиса Барану предложила
    Сыграть на деньги.Просто было.
    И хоть Баран был сильно пьян,
    Но всё выигрывал Баран.
    Когда игре пришёл конец,
    Большой он выиграл дворец.
    Лиса оспаривать не стала –
    Где тот дворец,ему сказала.
    А там она засела с Волком.
    Пришёл Баран – его за холку.
    Будь тот Баран чуть-чyть умней –
    Была бы басня подлиннЕй.

    Вот так и выигрыши ваши.
    Ничем Бараньего не краше.
