    Horrible but one can't even say it's surprising in this day and age.
    Especially after what happened at the Sikh Temple in Wisconsin in 2012 I believe. (I actually forgot it was in 2012, and had to check. Wow).

    :(

    Following bigtexxx protocol in the quest for accuracy, this thread should be titled...

    Even if Texxx does have a racist tendency, how the hell do posts like this help change the situation??? Christ, dude, you always get caught up in this bs. You know the people you constantly beef with won't change, why do you continue to argue?

    With that being said, prayers to the victims and the family members. RIP.

    You can't even let your guard down at church. That's why I carry heat everywhere.

    I hope these families can find peace during these times. I could not imagine dealing with this tragedy. Hopefully that feral will die slow.

    What exactly is there to debate here? It was a horrible act. I highly doubt anyone will be pulling a "need more evidence" card here.

    It's not about the who, but the what and why the what.

    You guys never seem to disappoint with your posts. Or rather, you always disappoint with your posts.

    I know it's all just anon Internet posts, but there has to be some level of self-awareness. No?

    Mental illness... false sense of altruism... who knows. People tend to exist in the reality that they create. Unfortunately, we have to share the world with people like this.

    Is there no place in America where the innocent are free from the violence of bigots? This would have been very shocking in 1950's-1960's America, when out and out bigotry was frequently on display for all to see, unless they were blind. To have an act like this occur today makes me wonder. Just how far have we come as a nation? Perhaps not as far as we think.

    My thoughts go to the victims and their families. Lives ruined for nothing more than a moment's thrill while committing an act of violent racism.
