Gunman, six others dead at Wisconsin Sikh temple

[Roadhawg]

Not sure what the motive was, and may never find out, but this is a sad thing to happen.

Oak Creek, Wisconsin (CNN) -- At least seven people, including a gunman shot by a police officer, were killed Sunday in an attack on worshippers at a Sikh temple in the Milwaukee suburb of Oak Creek, police said.

The officer was wounded but "returned fire, and that shooter was put down," said Bradley Wentlandt, the police chief in nearby Greenfield, who briefed reporters. Investigators who picked through the building afterward found four bodies inside the temple and two other victims outside, plus the gunman, Wentlandt said.

CNN reported they were treating it as a case of domestic terrorism. Some redneck probably thought it was a mosque...

The killer was a Nazi.

former army sergeant.
dishonorably discharge over a decade back, rank reduce to specialist at the time for acts of misconduct (unspecified in the article).


former leader of a neo-Nazi music group called End Apathy.
Police looking into any other supremacy ties.
guy not on anyone's watch list.

firearm, a 9mm, was lawfully acquired.
fired on citizens and officers more than once before taken out by an officer.

So not much known on him thus far, though it seems safe to speculate he probably doesn't have many 'plays well with others' stars at his apartment.

Might have a few Nazi flags though

Stories like this are why you should never let hate speech go without saying something. There were probably a thousand chances in this guys life for the right coworker, friend, significant other or family member to say something that could have helped dial back his hate.

If you follow his post history he has a habit of deflecting/defending acts of terrorism and then turning around and blaming other races. When he's not doing that he's commenting on minorities and various aspects of how he feels they are the problem with society. I'm being dead serious, check his post history.

Its getting to the point where its becoming dangerous.

I wonder then why is it always caucasian males between 20 -50 that engage in these slaughters? Maybe "guitar hero" can tell us.

Actually that was my first thought too.

With me?
Not hardly......
The foot hood shooter killed almost twice the amount as the Sikh temple shooter but the lamestream media did a swell job of sweeping it under the rug.
Not condoning either.
Just saying..........

Defending/deflecting acts of terrorism then blaming other races? What rubbish.............
Your going to have to swing harder then that to get under my skin.

[PennyQuilts]

Horrible. Just horrible. I am amazed it hasn't made MORE news.

[Swake2]

Horrible. Just horrible. I am amazed it hasn't made MORE news.

Imagine what he would have done if he had an assault rife like in Colorado. Then imagine Colorado if the 100 round magazine hadn't jammed.

I agree, PQ. I'm astonished that anyone thinks this is receiving more publicity than the Ft. Hood shootings.

If anything it's been sort of quiet. The media coverage has felt kind of sparse...

Swept it under the rug? How do you figure that? It was in the news for weeks... My first assessment was correct, there's something wrong with you.

[kevinpate]

Fort Hood shootings were swept under a rug?

Well, maybe ... but only if by rug you mean a patch of flying carpet the size of a postage stamp that's orbiting the earth non-stop 24/7/365. But otherwise, yer just way, way, way off base. That story was everywhere and remained so for a fair spell.
