Could the shooter have mistaken them for Muslims?
So are you asking if someone who does this has any connection with rationality? Sikhs keep to themselves and I have never heard of any kind of problem with them. Here in Jacksonville, the Sikh’s and Hindu’s worship at the same temple. Ghandi springs to mind long before Muslim.
It's happened before.
THAT was my first impression
It tells you how far the US educational system has failed Americans AND how far the current administration has reduced the US to a third world s^%$ hole! (NOT that anything on earth justifies lunatics who want to kill unarmed civilians at all)
“Could the shooter have mistaken them for Muslims?”
My thoughts.
It’s almost too pat. A former military, right winger’s right winger shoots some peaceful, friendly turban wearing Sikhs. Reminds me of some of Bane’s followers in The Dark Knight Rises (”They will be expecting one of you to be in the plane crash.”) Anything for the ‘cause’.
