Authorities search for motive in deadly shooting at Wisconsin Sikh temple (shooter identified)
Fox News ^ | August 6, 2012 | Jana Winter

Posted on 08/06/2012 4:39:21 AM PDT by Zakeet

The man authorities say killed six in a Milwaukee-area Sikh temple before police shot him was a heavily-tattooed, 40-year-old ex-Army soldier, sources told Fox News, but what triggered his rampage remains unclear.

Sources identified the dead suspect as Wade Michael Page, who was at one time attached to the Fort Bragg Army installation in North Carolina. Local authorities have scheduled a 10 a.m. press conference, where more details may emerge about Page and what the FBI is treating as an act of domestic terrorism in the temple, in the Milwaukee suburb of Oak Creek. Six people were killed and four wounded, including a police officer, before the man being identified as Page was shot dead by a police officer.

Satwant Kaleka, president of the temple, was one of those killed. Sources told Fox News he attempted to tackle the suspect as he sprayed gunfire inside the temple.

At last!

He fits Janet Napolitano’s profile of the perfect terrorist suspect - white, middle aged, male, gun-owning, veteran

All that awaits to be seen is that he attended a Christian church, had a “Don’t Tread on Me” tattoo, has a Romney bumper sticker, voted for Paul Ryan and Scott Walker in last election, and was id’d at a Tea Party rally

Let the apologies for “America” begin as obama pledges we can “do better”

How long before this is blamed on Paul Ryan (it was in his district, the radical GOP conservatives, and “incendiary rhetoric” about lower taxes and budget cutting??

In 3....2....1...

We know the motive. It’s the same as the motive in the Aurora shooting, in the Ft. Hood shooting, and in most other violent crimes - pure evil. We aren’t going to learn anything helpful by analyzing evil; all we can do is prepare for it, stay armed, and oppose evil whenever it arises.

Interesting how one mass killing is the act of a deranged lunatic, the other is an act of Domestic Terrorism... just who the hell is in charge of classifying mass murderer’s anyway... is one act of mass murder less terrible than the next. Just what the hell is the definition of a Domestic Terrorist anyway?...

” Sources say Page was born in November of 1971 and served in the Army from April 1992 through October 1998, out of Milwaukee.

He reportedly served a Hawk missile system repairman, then became a psychological operations specialist.

Kaleka said the 6-foot-tall bald white man - who worshippers said they had never before seen at the temple - seemed like he had a purpose and knew where he was going.”

Obama Administration – Fort Hood shootings ‘Workplace Violence’ By Andrew Zarowny

The Obama administration and some Pentagon officials came under fire during Congressional hearings this week over the Fort Hood shooting in 2009 and it being a case of ′workplace violence′ rather than domestic terrorism. A report released by the House Homeland Security Committee on Wednesday by Rep.

I think you’re right. There are many more sources of potential information now that need to be preserved and not contaminated. Especially with regard to potential accomplices or co-conspirators. There is no need to rush, the public curiosity will be satisfied soon enough.

News conference at 10AM.

On a more serious note,

The media and politicians will try to use this situation (or any other) to their own maximum benefit. That is a fact. Which means they will lie. We know this.

Our best way to understand these incidents is to remember the roots of the problem.

Human beings can become frustrated. They will then resort to outlandish behavior. They resort to murder, which does not solve any problems. Not all do this, but human behavior fits a bell curse. There are wackos on both sides.

The root of the problem is the frustration. We all are dealing with it. We are watching our leaders tell us we must paint ourselves green and line up for the chopping block to appease the Gods of the Sky.

The politicians know that the public is unhappy. They know exactly why. So... the public is kept busy being frustrated, and directed to take it out on someone else who ISN’T LIKE THEM. The policy of the current leadership of this country is to DISCRIMINATE between sex, race, gender, skin color, religion, intelligence, income, tax declaration, political party, language, age, and health and use that information to keep the PUBLIC DIVIDED.

Meantime, all the undeveloped land and natural resources are being federalized (absorbed) so that the parasites (political ruling elite) can suck more blood.

While they are busy fighting for a ‘fresh’ hole to stab, the commies and muzzies are planning a mutual ‘government’ of the Western Hemisphere. Probably announce it to us on Dec 21, 2012. I Wonder who our new Western Supreme Ruler is ?

He served at Fort Bliss, Texas, in the psychological operations unit in 1994

Maybe the shooting wasn't his idea. It may have been pre-programing.

The Fort Hood shooter was a military psychologist.
The Dark Night shooter, a real nut job, says he doesn't remember anything. (He studied neuroscience on government grants)

Strange coincidence. All 3 have connections to psychology departments.

Indeed, an unusual coincidence for homicidal mo-fo's to be nutjobs.

Another strange coincidence. Not only were all three connected to a psychology department - All three had government funding.

Spooky.

Don’t forget, sometime back, this administration called us vets and active duty military terrorists. Only muslims who destroyed our World Trade Center are not terrorists, or any other muslim who guns down 13 soldiers and wounds 36 others at Ft Hood are NOT terrorists.
