You probably all saw bits and pieces of the incident on the news today, but there was a Sikh Temple shooting in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, several hours ago.

This incident is the very definition of senseless violence.

Now this really hits home to me because this took place about 20 minutes from my house.

this happens too often nowadays. i dont know the details but ive heard that it was some retard that thought they were all muslims. hate groups always benefit from these incidents because it helps to breed more fear, hatred and separation.

(Sigh) and they wonder why I'm pessimistic.

Heard on the radio this morning that a guy on Twitter has threatened to redo the Aurora shooting at a theater in New York, and Twitter has refused to give up the id info to the NYPD on the basis of "The First Amendment."

I wish "they" would stop giving these dill-holes their 15 minutes of fame and at least stop some from seeking it.

A sad and senseless tragedy....I simply do not understand idiots who take out their predjudice and/or politics on the innocent. It makes me feel ill.

I've never even heard of someone having a problem with Sikhs.

I think he mistakenly believed they were Muslims!

I wonder what his financial situation was.

Sad the power of hate to destroy lives in the most senseless of fashion.

That wouldn't surprise me in the least.

Also authorities arrested his ex as she had an unauthorezed gun as his place where they once lived together...and she too appears to be a white supremacist.

and for what it's worth the gunman offered himself. http://www.startribune.com/nation/165436286.html?refer=y
