Sikh temple shooting: Gunman had been on investigators' radar
LA TImes ^ | 8/6/2012 | brian bennet

WASHINGTON -- Federal investigators had “looked at” Sikh temple gunman Wade Michael Page more than once because of his associations with right-wing extremists and the possibility that he was providing funding to a domestic terrorist group, but law enforcement officials at the time determined there was not enough evidence of a crime to open an investigation, a senior U.S. law enforcement official said.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media, would not say Monday which law enforcement agency had considered investigating Page, or when.

He was such a dumb person. He thought they were moslems. Then he shot himself in total ignorance. Sad really.

The investigators were probably told by someone high up not to continue to track the man. They probably figured that the ends would justify the means - hundreds of dead Mexicans for the same cause what’s a few Indians? After all, they have a big population over there.

Why is a Nazi lunatic ascribed to the Right?

Nazi as we know stands for National SOCIALIST.

Hitler was an anti-capitalist, allied with Comrade Stalin from 33 until stabbing him in the back in 41.

Has anyone reported if this guy was employed anywhere? I haven’t seen any comments from co-workers, but I may have missed them.

Gosh, i hope you aren’t implying that a government that would flood the cartels with assault rifles, would become aware of a ticking time bomb,,and then just back off and wait for him to blow up,,just so they can take advantage of it to advance their agenda.

Next you’ll accuse them of letting an army officer muslim psychologist correspond with an Al Qeida leader for years and ignore THAT too!/ (do i really need it?)

Page was a white supremacist who killed who he killed because of thei color, their dress and their “differentness”. There a lots of people like him. They aren’t conservatives, they a delusional cultists.

What I’m waiting for is who or what pushed him to kill just now. Maybe it’s the breakup with a girlfriend but the timing is too convenient.

The FBI/ATF/KGB “informant” running him might have slipped him the 9mm and a map.

I’d put NOTHING past this govt after MURDERGATE.

Something DOES stink about this story.....the statement about the shooter's alleged links to "right-wing extremists".

If he's linked to neo-Nazis, his links are to LEFT-WING extremists.

"Nazi".....from National Socialism.....(Nationalsozialismus)

We must expose this Goebbels-ploy every time it's spewed to the public by the corrupt leftist media.

What girlfriend have you heard from her or seen her? Have you heard from any of his friends or family where is his manifesto saying he didn't like these people. All we know is what the “Officials” are telling us.

You knowwwww,, seriously. They admit they were watching him at some point and thinking he was funding violent types. He was also known to that Southern Poverty Law Center.

YET, he sailed right through the background check without even a few days delay? I know all kinds of people who get a delay just cause their name is common, like Jones or Smith.

Is it really _that_ hard to imagine they would let him buy and take the gun, hoping he would “walk” it to his neo-nazi criminal friends? If it blew up in their face, would Holders FBI admit it?

Weird. Loughner and Holmes were on peoples’ “radar” also. I don’t think guns are the problem here. I think the problem is people being afraid they’ll get sued if they say anything.
