yes, someone shot up a sikh temple

Ratmagiclady · 08-06-2012, 10:25 PM

Funny how there's no thread on this.

No point to prove, here, just... Look at it.

While the 'persecuted majority' talks thier talk... What actually happens.

I'm just sad. I've been too sad to move a long time. I just don't know what to tell you. Sure won't matter anyway.

And I'm sad to say *that,* too.

But here we are. Again.

Oh, I'm thinking about it, far more than I'd like. I'm totally disgusted and very sad, but I'm also at the point where I just can't handle thinking or talking about any of it anymore. Every day there is another one, another nut job, doing something, killing people, or getting caught right before it happens. So much hate. I can't even begin to wrap my head around it.

Well, thats bad news.... for whoever shot up their temple. These guys take this very seriously - remember what happened to Indira Gandhi (Prime Minister of India)?

What? The mass-murderer in *Wisconsin* shot a police officer something like five times (not fatally, thankfully) before being killed.

You didn't even hear, did you, you just made something up.

No, the only information I have on this is from your first post, saying that someone shot up a Sikh temple. If you provide a link I might be more enlightened as to what actually happened.

Was following the story yesterday but waiting on details of the shooter before commenting. The easy presumption would have been they were assumed to be 'goddamn Muslims' which would be achingly tragic on so many levels.

Now more details have been released, it looks like that hypothesis might sadly be correct.

Sikh temple shooter had 'white power ties'

Apparently an ex-soldier who was also a skinhead.

Unfortunately, it isn't a recent invention. Neither is "stupid."

There are a few school ones not on that list such as a university in Virginia, 2002 and High School and Jr High in Mississippi.

Also not quite properly reported yet... This person has proven ties that go back to this skinhead organization well before they were in the military.

And just how does anyone get in the military without having this looked into further?

You're right. There's nothing sadder than middle aged skinheads writing songs about Odin.

I realize this is parody; but what makes it sad is that it is believable of her due to things she has actually said that are nearly as preposterous. How can any human be as stupid as Michele Bachmann and still remember to breathe? I would have thought that stupidity of that severity would be self limiting.

You'd think so wouldn't you. I'm astounded she managed to get elected to anything never mind actually influencing opinions

and the idiot who did the shooting likely just thought of Sikhs as Muslims (neither group deserves this of course)
