The suspect in a shooting that left six people dead at a Sikh temple in suburban Milwaukee on Sunday has been identified as Wade Michael Page, who served in the U.S. Army for about six years.
According to sources in the U.S. Army, Page enlisted in April 1992 and given a less-than-honorable discharge in October 1998. He served at Fort Bliss, Texas, in the psychological operations unit in 1994, and was last stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, attached to the psychological operations unit. The details of his discharge were not immediately clear.
Wade was killed outside the temple in a shootout with police officers after the rampage that left terrified congregants hiding in closets and others texting friends outside for help.
Officials had previously described the suspect as a heavy-set, 40-year-old Caucasian with numerous tattoos.
Sources tell CBS News some unspecified evidence suggests race or ethnicity may have played a role in the violence, but no links to extremist groups have been confirmed.
Local police called the attack an act of domestic terrorism, but other sources tell CBS News correspondent Bob Orr it may be more accurate to refer to "an investigation into a possible hate crime."
Neither the local nor the federal sources provided further details or suggested a possible motive, including whether the suspect specifically targeted the Sikh temple.

Agree...
I guarantee it took you more time to come up with your idiotic “joke” than it took me to type the three paragraphs I typed out to you. Judging from the number of posts you had to make on this thread needing to clarify your little “joke”, I would think the evidence indicates that it is you that needs a new hobby. Clearly “comedy” is not your forte.
And get a hobby!
You seem to be beyond hobbies. Get some professional help. Seriously!
There is no disgrace in working this stuff out in therapy.
Get some soon!
And good luck!
ROFLMAO... Stupid jokes and personal attacks... I LOVE IT! NOW, you’re making me laugh!
What was your previous screen-name? I’ve seen so many like you come and go around here over the last 12 years that it’s hard to remember sometimes...
Never heard of a neo Nazi going after Sikhs. He moved there very recently, which leads one to think he moved there specifically for this reason.
It’s odd.
If he was a neo-Nazi, the odds are very poor that he was mad at moslems. Most neo-Nazis support the moslems 100%. Why the 9/11 tattoo then? Either to celebrate or because he believed "the Jews did it."
I wouldn’t pay much attention to that latter article about Obama in the Bible. The Torah Codes are found only in the Torah, not in the Book of Daniel.
He probably wasn't thinking at all.
I'd say it was first of all, a way of committing "suicide by cop."
Secondly it was racial, directed at people who were above everything else "different".
Third, 911 may have been in the background somewhere, but it's unclear whether he actually thought he was going after Muslims.
Who are the chief victims of neo-Nazi violence in German, pray tell?

I assume you meant "in Germany."
If the group/individual is actually neo-Nazi, then its target is always Jews. German Nazis have always been pro-Arab and other "far right" European organizations (such as France's National Front) are also pro-Arab/islam. Just as with David Duke in Tehran, real Nazis will always make common cause with the enemies of Jews no matter who they are.
If you're referring to boorish nativists, every country on the face of the earth has people like that. But if they're Nazis and not just common ordinary nativist thugs they will support the Arab/moslem world against Israel and Jews.
Also, one would expect any real Nazi worth his salt would recognize Punjabi-speaking Sikhs as his fellow "aryans."
Is that Page?
That photo supposedly comes by way of the ADL, who had been on his case for a while, apparently.

You, otoh, are a stinking noob who should S the F up.
Thanks.
Don't you feel a little bit ashamed?
Even if you were a stinking old timer that wrong nasty insults like that I would still criticize you.
Thanks, LJ. Hope you are doing well. :)
I understand...sorry about the insults.
BTW, I asked the mods to remove the offending photo...and they did.
