India reacts with grief, outrage over Wisconsin killing of Sikhs

If anything Junta is dead wrong, because violence in India does not make violence against Sikhs justified.

Since neither junta nor I ever said or suggested that there isn't much to say about such nonsense.

[TigersEye]

To be fair, this killer was an extremist right winger.

I see you have drunk the leftist Kool-Aid too.

[jennychase]

It means, now Sikhs won’t seek Political Asylum in USA.

[TigersEye]

I doubt it will have much effect on that. That is their choice though.

[ravager]

To bring up Indian violence to draw moral equivalence is poor attempt to justify violence against the Sikhs.

[TigersEye]

Then don’t do it. Neither junta nor I did.

[ravager]

I guess I did. Do you have any better evidence to the contrary? Until then I will stick with my kool aid.

[TigersEye]

Have a nice day!

[ToranagaSama]

How many sought it recently?

[ravager]

Then dont do it? Scroll up and check who wrote the first post on Indian sectarian violence. And get back to me when you develop the debating skills of an adult.

[TigersEye]

Get back to me when you find a second brain cell to rub on the first.

[ravager]

One brain cell is better then none. Have fun.

Nobody is claiming that the killings are alright. But getting mad at the USA for the actions of one criminal is blaming the victim. We bring up Indian sectarian violence to point out that those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.

[ravager]

Yeah but bringing up Indian sectarian violence is kinda lame. Its not India as a country that is protesting against the US. The people you see protesting against the US are Sikhs from AKALI DAL. Find out, who they are. You are firing your guns at the wrong target just like the Wisconsin killer.

Regardless of the politics involved, this is one more case of a mass shooting in a "gun free zone." Nobody there to shoot back, until a cop arrived.

> Indian Massacre of Christians

You don’t want to turn this thread into a religious war do you? Others could easily post references to the genocide perpetrated by Christians (and Muslims and others) around the world. Besides, what does that have to do with a lone killer (as far as we know from news sources) shooting up people in a Sikh temple Wisconsin?

I agree. Any crime or act of terrorism can be falsely “justified” in that way.

What did WE do? Usually it’s Christians getting killed.

[ravager]

Regardless of all the religious violence in India, fact is American have never been harmed in India while Indian student and immigrants have regularly been assaulted or killed in racially motivated crimes or otherwise.
