[history]
At least four people were shot just after 10 a.m. Sunday at the Sikh Temple in Oak Creek, and a police SWAT team entered the building before noon and brought uninjured people out of the building at 7512 S. Howell Ave.
Among those who were shot was the president of the temple.
People were in the temple as early as 6:30 a.m. Sunday and many more were arriving for a service that was to begin about 11:30 a.m.
There were reports that children were taken to the building's basement after shots were fired.

Not sure why it bothers you that we are standing guard so to speak and speculating a bit.
It bothers me because posters on this site do the same thing and immediately try and tie it to the left rather than waiting for the facts

The interview with the brother of the temple leader was replayed and he blames assault weapons and the media both. Of course, he is very distraught and angry right now.
As far as reports are going so far he only had a handgun NOT what the MSM usually refer to as Assault weapons
But at least he got the media part right

And Lee Harvey Oswald. And Hollywood anti-American "action" movies most always show nutcases as former military.
Generally the only time they paint the military in a favorable light is when they are fighting the Nazis in WWII
There are some exceptions like Top Gun and the Eastwood movie about Grenada and Gibson's "We Were Young and Soldiers" but even then the left wing critics either pan or ignore the movie

CNN is claiming the shooter has been identified as an Army vet who had a less than honorable discharge in 1998 and may have been a white supremacist. Left-wingers are having a field day and wetting themselves with glee. Here we go.

Did the cops prevent the initial murders? Nope.
Are cops janitors? Yep.
Will this provoke more anti-2A rhetoric? Yep.

They’re saying he was in the Army for six years and ended his career with what amounts to a slightly less than honorable discharge. His last station was Psyops at Fort Bragg.
If they try to say he mistook Sikhs for Muslims, that would not make sense. Anyone who knows anything about militaries knows about the Sikhs.

Pray for the surviving family members and the full recovery of those in the hospital.
The perp is exactly what every leftist fantasizes about.
This guy is a nut job who the gun-grabbing liberals will use to smear all decent, law-abiding, veterans and gun owners. I believe that this incident will not result in any gun control legislation, but continued high-profile attacks from random psychos could embolden liberals to push for additional background checks and other restrictions on gun and ammo purchases. We must remain vigilant and not give an inch or surely they will take a mile.

Until after the elections and if Obama and the democrats aren't defeated watch out

Agreed. We can not sit this one out.
I am voting because the alternative is unthinkable.

The perp, Wade Michael Page, is definitely a skinhead. I spent much of the morning doing research on him at work and he was knee deep in skinhead, white supremacist activities.
He played in several bands associated with skinheads, including 2 years as the bass player with Youngland, and currently in Definite Hate. I’ve found photos of him wearing a Hammerskin skinhead t-shirt and Definite Hate played at a Hammerskin music festival a couple years ago.
He had a large Celtic cross tattoo on his upper arm and many, many others.
I found a gallery of photos of him and the band. In one performance, they are playing in front of Nazi flags.

I thought Sikhs only carried knives. You must never have met any of the Sikhs employed as guards at the Alfred Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City.
