Default Another shooting of innocents

Its getting sad and pathetic that this kind of violence has to happen. 7 dead this time around. Just no way to stop it sadly.

A Sikh temple? Hmmm, quite unusual outside of the usual hotspots for there to be trouble there. Could be a disgruntled Muslim, a misguided right-winger or just another nutter with a gun.

Either which way a terrible event.

Sikh <> Muslim.

They just happen to look similar.

Sikhism is a monotheistic faith that was founded in South Asia more than 500 years ago. It has roughly 27 million followers worldwide. Observant Sikhs do not cut their hair; male followers often cover their heads with turbans - which are considered sacred - and refrain from shaving their beards. There are roughly 500,000 Sikhs in the U.S., according to estimates. The majority worldwide live in India.
Figured it woul be worth noting that before We went down that road.

Anyone remember that shooting in September, 2001 where a Sikh gas station owner was shot in Mesa, AZ by a "patriot" who wanted revenge for the 911 attacks?

Stupid people have been confusing Sikh with Muslims for a while.

There has been plenty of animosity between the two (along with Hindi). Though odds are it is some nutjob who hates Muslims and doesn't know the difference (or care).

Now they're saying he may have been a white supremacist.

At least the police shot this guy dead and saved us from the crazy media stampede determined to show us every little detail about his hearings, incarceration, and trial.

Within a week nobody will remember his name.

Looks like the nutcases are on the loose!! Instead of shooting anyone at this mosque, he burned it down. Luckily, no one was hurt. If we catch him, instead of locking him up here in the States, we should send him to a prison in Afghanistan or Pakistan. Wonder how funny he would think that would be!

One should hope so, but I think he will be seen as a martyr in the White Power scene - RAHOWA and crap like this

who noone pays attention to or gives a hoot about.

I rather see him dead so the media doesn't give that trash more attention then it ever deserved.
