Reports of eight to 20 shot at Sikh Temple in Oak Creek

Shame, what is it with young white dudes wanting to shoot up places? And the sikh's of all people? Though I doubt the media will make as much an uproar over this one considering the local and peoples that were involved.

Wonder how long it'll take for the fúcking Brady Bunch and Co. to start dancing in the blood.

The Young Turks are just as bad in that regard...not to long ago some one on that "show" actually suggested that the government should have law enforcement and national guard confiscate all "assault weapons"(BS term) and handguns:|

[QUOTE="FalcoLX"]FFS we've been over this. For someone to attack a Sikh temple, it's obvious that they had some reason other than "to kill people". From the reports that the shooter was white, we can assume with some certainty that the shooter is also christian, just because a large majority of white people in america are christian.kingkong0124

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="BossPerson"]Every white person is not a christian?? BossPerson

And I hate this freaking error message.:x

[QUOTE="BossPerson"][QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] No. That means just because someone is white...they are not automatically Christian. LJS9502_basic

And I hate this freaking error message.:x

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]

[QUOTE="BossPerson"]Idk about that. I know what youre trying to say but I think that line means that you;re saying that there are no white christians. BossPerson

And I hate this freaking error message.:x

Not every white person is a Christian.

For those of you who don't live in Wisconsin, Milwaukee and much of the Lake Michigan shore is very diverse. Much of the rest of the state is very Germanic and Scandinavian. There are many different minorities, including Hmong, Black, Latinos etc.

A concealed carry law was approved this year. I have no idea if the gun used here was aemi-automatic or automatic.

This is all just background information. I teach in Sheboygan, so I am somehwat familiar with Milkwaukee and moreso with eastern Wisconsin.

[QUOTE="kingkong0124"][QUOTE="-Sun_Tzu-"]Kingkong what is your opinion on Wisconsin becoming Little India?-Sun_Tzu-

[QUOTE="-Sun_Tzu-"]

[QUOTE="kingkong0124"] First of all, a Sikh Temple in a suburb of a major city does not make Wisconsin "Little India". Second of all, there is no need to try and politicize the issue. The fact is innocent people were killed and wounded, and you're trying to use it for your own personal endeavors against me. kingkong0124

Saying the shooting is rooted in cultural difference may be the truth, so I don't view that as politicizing it. Sikhs are often mistaken for Muslims, and Sikhs have had problems historically with Muslims.

It is a sad situation, but all of this is trying to understand why.

Well maybe this time the Liberals will have there dream come true and it will be some right wing extremist who belongs to the tea party and militia . So long 2nd Amendment, Hello Martial Law

We've come a long way since Columbine, we have mass shootings every year now and they still haven't confiscated your guns. It's not going to happen.

This will be forgotten before the week is out. The killer will barely get his fifteen minutes. I can't imagine how many gun deaths it would even take for gun control to get any serious consideration. Shooting sprees are just part of the Murican experience now.

Still, though. The fact that this comes only two weeks after the Colorado shooting is starting to roll some eyes. If something like this happens again soon, I suspect someone will snap and go not after politicans, but rather after gun advocates like the NRA.

Except information on sihkism is taught in middle and high school.

I'm actually looking in my old world history textbook right now... they've got an entire chapter.

Yes, everyone should defnitely be familiar with a religion which only .001% of the population follow.

You can't be serious.

Here's a video interview from one of the people in Oak Creek who witnessed the shooting. This is probably one of the earliest videos from the scene-

The witness says that 4 men carried out the shooting, and that one is down. Do not listen to the mainstream media reports that say it was a lone gunman.

Yes, that the general population doesn't know much about a small group is what we should be focusing on.

Then what should we be focusing on? half the people in this topic don't know what sikhs are yet they f@#$7 posted here

30 million our of 7 billion is 4 tenths of a percent, and most are in India.

500,000 out of 370000000 million is 1 tenth of a percent.

In the grand scheme of things, they are a small group. That doesn't belittle their importance, however.

And any death or deaths that were premeditated are a serious problem.

[QUOTE="0Hamburgher"][QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] Oh please. I'm sure you haven't heard about every small group that exists worldwide. LJS9502_basic

when you look at the fact that there are only 4 religions that are more widely practised, I'm sure it isn't that small

I tend to agree with you. For example, there are less than 8 million Jehovah's Witnesses worldwide. Who hasn't heard of them?
