I was working this afternoon so I just found out about this situation. Violence in this world is just getting out of control, and I think it feels even more real now since this is happening right at home. It's just so f'd up that we can't go anywhere and be safe these days.

Wow hadn't even heard of this until now, very sad. The shooter was a white male so it was probably a hate crime which is just sad. I hadn't heard of this religion before but I took this from the article:

Sikh rights groups have reported a rise in bias attacks since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The Washington-based Sikh Coalition has reported more than 700 incidents in the U.S. since 9/11, which advocates blame on anti-Islamic sentiment. Sikhs don't practice the same religion as Muslims, but their long beards and turbans often cause them to be mistaken for Muslims, advocates say.

Really no good reason for this, not like there is for any shooting.

Honestly, I'm starting to think the world is coming to an end. And you know with so many events like this, I wouldn't be sad if it is. This is a sad, cruel world we live in.

I think this is fitting to post now.

Very fitting. Sure its from The Onion but it's probably the most honest article they have ever written. Sad day, again in America. Not that it makes much of a difference but the guy didn't even murder people of the correct religion, not to say that murdering people is right of a certain religion. Just dumb, senseless, and more importantly, a waste of people who were peace loving humans with no agenda accept to love, pray, and be free.

Good thing the cop shot and killed him, hopefully that cop is ok. If this guy truly mistook them for Muslims then just wow. It wouldn't have made it any better if he shot Muslims though because it is a hate crime.

Very true. He was probably some <dumbass who saw turbans and went off. Sad.

They were evacuating the area around the shooter's house in Cudahy, suspecting their is a bomb in there.

Just terrible.

Yeah I heard they were surrounding his house. It will be interesting to see who it is, not like it really matters. I'm sure everyone will say they didn't see this coming from him.

I'm glad they blew the <fucker away. When that cop gets out of the hospital, he will never have to buy a beer at a bar again.

If it turns out this piece of trash did this because he thought they were Muslim, I may lose all faith in humanity. The ignorance and stupidity of people astound me.

I heard he had a 9/11 tattoo and stuff. Apparently these are very peaceful people too. It would be terrible if he killed Muslims as well, but to go on a shooting rampage thinking these people were Muslims then just wow. This group of people have been the target of a lot of attacks since 9/11 because just everyone assumes they are Muslim.

A white supremacist? No way.

As a person who shaves his head because it's more comfortable in the summer I find his haircut to be irrelevant. Of course, I get the label but come on man.

It would have been nice if this guy did not have access to a weapon, but I guess he had never commited a violent crime so...

The Sikh faith should not embrace peace but violence and they would have been strapped then

I just read that they are looking for a person of interest because he has a 9/11 tattoo as well and was taking pictures of media, friends, and relatives that were gathered in the parking lot at the temple.

Surprise <fucking surprise. Discharged from the armed services for misconduct? Perfect.

America is sure making their diversity known between crazy dumbass bigots and mentally unstable social misfits.

Sure, stricter gun control wont stop all of this, but at least don't make it easy for these monsters to get their hands on them.

Yea especially when you read something like this:

The Southern Poverty Law Center, a group that has studied hate crimes for decades, reported Monday that Page was a frustrated neo-Na..zi who had been the leader of a racist white-power band known as End Apathy.

Heidi Beirich, director of the center's intelligence project, said her group had been tracking Page since 2000, when he tried to purchase goods from the National Alliance, a well-known hate group.

But I guess he had never been convicted of a violent crime so he was able to have access.

I'd say a dishonorable discharge is good enough. That just gives a person with training enough of a reason to retaliate.

Hope they catch that camera guy. Who knows how many pictures he took and who is in them? Targets for him and his comrades I assume.
