The Feebles, on the other hand...

At least four of the eight employees who were killed during the FedEx mass shooting in Indianapolis late Thursday night were members of the Sikh community.
The Sikh Coalition, which is the nation's largest Sikh civil rights and advocacy organization, confirmed the tragic news on Saturday.
"Sadly, we acknowledge that this number is subject to change for the worse as more information becomes publicly available and those who were injured are treated at area hospitals," the group said in a statement.

The young males are violent from Boulder to Atlanta, to Bryan Texas and now Indianapolis.
An other American city waits.
Sikhs are good people. RIP to the victims.
I agree!
“Sikhs are good people.”
Yes, they are.
I have not heard that they were specifically targeted, or just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Has anyone more information?
The Feebles, on the other hand...
I have no indication that they were targeted, But Hole knew exactly the population that worked there.
sikhs mourns 4 victims. What about the other 4? Who mourns them?
This 19 year old wanted to commit suicide and the police had first hand information from the year before. Did he ever receive help from the mental health community? Or did they let him and society down once again?
From the article:
A series of vigils will be held over the weekend as Indianapolis residents grapple with their third high-profile shooting this year.
Mourners gathered outside the Olive Missionary Baptist Church in Indianapolis to pray at a vigil for the victims of the FedEx shooting on Saturday afternoon.
A candlelight vigil is also planned for Saturday night at Krannert Park, on the west side of Indianapolis, where community members will gather in prayer to support the families whose loved ones died during the shooting. A similar vigil will also be hosted on Sunday night on the steps of City Hall, WTHR reported.
... except when they are blowing up airplanes ...

I know numerous Sikhs. Prayers for them.
People who are suicidal see the possibility for achieving "immortality" through fame.
It is called the copy cat effect, it is well known.
The Media know it and do not care. The Media want the clicks and money. They want the political agenda. They love mass murder.
You are correct. The media instigates and aids and abets every way they can. Then they play the injured innocent , pure as the driven snow when caught with their hand in the cookie jar. A more degenerate, incestuous bunch of bastards has never been known in history.
Is it your view that it is the media’s fault for covering murders and mass shootings as the media coverage of these incidents only serves to cause others to act violently and murder in workplaces, stores or on the streets of the large cities?
If no murders and other violence was not reported in the media, there would be less murder and violence?
There is some encouragement of ordinary murder and crime by the type of coverage.
But the extravagant coverage of mass murder clearly induces those on the edge to mass murder.
There has been a lot of academic study on this.
The phenomena of the copy cat effect was first discovered in 1774, with a large number of suicides copying the method used in a novel.
Sikhs are good neighbors....except the smell from their garage kitchens.
“The phenomena of the copy cat effect was first discovered in 1774, with a large number of suicides copying the method used in a novel.”
Maybe we can go back even further than that and take it all the way to today with the reading of Romeo & Juliet. Students have been reading Shakespeare for centuries and this theory believes that reading Shakespeare encourages murder and suicide?
What if instead of blaming Shakespeare for murders and suicides, or blaming news outlets for mass shootings and violence in the streets of America, we place the responsibility on those that actually commit those violent acts?
What if we hold the Media responsible for encouraging mass murder?
What if we wake up to the fact most of the Media are our enemy?
What if we stop being deliberately misleading?
It is easy to play the what if game.
I will stick with blaming those who murder for the murders they commit.
