    What a terrible tragedy.

    I don't understand why people do this. Just leave people alone and shoot your head off.

    I guess infamy is a lucrative thing for f*ucked up people.

    I had no clue about Sikhism. I learned something new today.

    The suspect was a white supremacist and had an affiliation with Neo-Nazi group, and as crazy as it sounds there might have ideological means to his madness unlike the Aurora shooter.

    So in hind sight, the killer may not have necessarily being targeting Muslims. Hard to say.

    I know this is supposed to be a melting pot and all that, but maybe if they didnt LOOK like the enemy we have been fighting for the past decade, maybe the gunman wouldnt have been confused.

    In all honesty, I will get blasted and people will say 'They should be able to dress how they please.' Yes they should, but it doesnt work like that. If I walked into a bank with a ski mask on people would probably think I am trying to rob it, know what Im sayin?

    If you dress like Taliban, ESPECIALLY in America, people will probably assume you are Taliban.

    Lol So are you saying the shooter was a patriot and shot them because he thought they were the Taliban?

    Confused? I find it highly unlikely that he did not see this sign in front of the temple.

    If you're ignorant, perhaps.

    Even if he did see the sign, a white supremacist sees a bunch of guys with long beards and turbans going into (Im assuming here so correct me if I am wrong) a building that looks like a Mosque.

    Maybe, just maybe, they might have thought to lose the Turbans or 3 foot beards, or maybe make their place of worship look like, I dont know, any other building.

    Again, blast me if you want with the 'this is 2012, everybody is friends here and you are just racist,' but are you really surprised a white supremacist shot up a group of people who look like Osama Bin Laden?

    Lol I mean, he thought he was going after the enemy right?

    Like the poster above said, "If you're ignorant, perhaps. "

    Thats reaching, but I see.

    But seriously, is anybody really surprised? This news is about as shocking as the 300+ homicides thus far in downtown Chicago. Shocker!!!

    ???

    So, he sees the sign, yet he still determines that these people are Muslims.

    Ok, that just proves my point.

    You have to be pretty damn ignorant to come to these conclusions.

    I'm not sure where you're from, but where I come from shooting 6 people dead in cold blood is generally frowned down upon. Even if those 6 people don't look like my drinking buddies.

    You're suggesting the white supremacy movement sees the two as different.

    I don't get your point. I'm not arguing whether or not he's ignorant nor am I defending him, I simply was stating that if I am not shocked a white supremacist shot up a church full of OBL look a likes.

    I've seen many children get caught planting bombs in the road for me to run over. Jack ass.

    And a neo-Nazi isn't going to care what their age or sex is.

    You're an idiot, an ignorant piece of garbage. First of all Sikhs and Muslims tie beards differently. Secondly you're essentially condoning the killings. This is just as bad as any other house of worship being shot up. Is it ok if any random bald headed white male is killed? They're all skinheads anyway right? That's essentially what you're saying. Do you realize how stupid you sound? If you said this in person I hope someone would knock some sense into you.
