Several People Reported Shot at Sikh Temple


 
Several people — including possiblly one police officef — have reportedly been shot at the Sikh temple according to police radio reports coming out of Oak Creek.

The incident reportedly occured about 10:45 a.m. Initial reports said there were four victims, and an active shooter. Mutual aid was requested from other departments to respond to the situation. More recent information is that between eight and 20 people have been injured.

19. They get attacked now and then by idiots who think they're Muslims.

They'll head out looking for some terrists to protect Murika against, see turbans, and start hemorrhaging their remaining IQ opints.

Happened a bunch shortly after 9/11, and I think there was another cluster of them when the Iraq war started.

What will happen is, they will keep pinning things on the right in the hopes that someday they will be correct. Odds are that someday someone on the right may do something crazy they are just hoping like hell that this is that time.

It did not happen a "bunch" after 9/11. I heard of one Sikh that was attacked after 9/11.

The shooter has been shot.

By the way, what is it in someone's nature that they have to blame a group as soon as something bad happens?

Yeah, I guess so. But either way you look at it. Every time something like this happens, they blame the right non stop. Then when they find out that it is someone from the left, they shut up really quick and don't say another word about it.

It is their nature. To the DUmmies, everything is the rights fault.

guy say his mom inside the temple told him multiple assailants, well-coordinated attack, went into kitchen and turned gas on (planned to blow up the temple) but thankfully gas co has turned gas supply off.

They won't shut up, they will double down on it being a teabagger, they still claim that Laughner was a teabagger.

I find it funny that they keep mentioning the tea party about this. I would like to see one instance where the Tea Party was responsible for something like this? Then they can tell me one time where someone on the left, or the OWS wasn't responsible for something like this.

"Sure, there are a few "extremists" people on the left but they are no where near as dangerous as the assorted Right wing groups and lone wolves. I certainly don't think I will here a report on the news that a crazy Leftist shot up or attempted to shoot a group of people he hated. However, it wouldn't surprise me to here about a crazy Right-winger or group shooting up a mosque, a group of day laborers, a gay club or any other targets that contain what they view as undesirables."

According to a witness on the news, aparently there was a special visting priest from India onsite today. He was shot.

This was planned and coordinated. I wonder if it was an assassination of the visiting priest.

You have NO idea whether this was an attack by the left anymore than they "know" it was an attack from the right. Honestly, it could be an extremist group from another religion. Yes, many of these situations turn out to be leftists but that wasn't the case with Gabby Giffords. Please don't jump to conclusions. We should be smarter than that.

Jared Lee Loughner wasn't a right winger either. And they insisted that he was. My point is that every time something like this happens, the left right away blame the racist right tea party, conservative talk show hosts, and politicians for spewing hate. Then when they find out that the person wasn't associated with the right at all, they shut up and just say that it was a tragedy. That is their game plan. Everything bad that happens is always the rights fault. Hell, even the crap the OWS was doing was being blamed on the right until the left realized that they were full of crap. It is always rushed to judgment that the right is to blame. They never look at themselves and say: "Hey, maybe is our side doing all these shootings and killings". They don't see that because they have in their thick brain dead skulls that they are the most tolerant and caring people on the earth, when in reality, they are the most retarded thugs on earth.

Look here:

Left blames Wisconsin temple shooting on Michele Bachmann and ‘racists like her’

My 93 year old grandmother is a registered dem too...she hasn't voted that way in ages. I know couples where one registers with one party and one registers with the other so they get literature from both. So your point is? Loughner was a crazy **** who had a personal issue with Giffords that had nothing to do with politics. His writings were rambling and incoherent. His brain wasn't capable of political thought. That's pretty much common knowledge now. I understand that the left jumps the gun and blames us for everything. I don't want to play that game. Yes, most of the time it does end up being someone on the left but until we know who they are and what motivates them it would be ever so lovely if we didn't decide they were leftists. This is a little more than a lone gunman. Three people sound more like some kind of extremist group. Sikh's are relatively peaceful and most people are barely aware of them. These guys obviously are. Who is it who has a grudge against Sikhs? I don't hae a clue, do you?

Muslims don't like the Sikh in India because they won't convert.

I'm thinking that's what happened here. Fundamental Muslim attacks a Sikh temple.

Besides, if it was a member of the VRWC, we'd know the shooter's name, address, dog's name, what his last mal was, and would have interviewed everyone from their mother to his elementary school janitor by now.

More on the suspect
U.S. Army officials say Page was first stationed at Fort Still, then Fort Bliss and then Fort Bragg. He rose to the rank of sergeant while in the Army, but was given a dishonorable discharge in 1998, reduced in rank to a specialist for acts of misconduct.

Officials say Page had no criminal record in the military and no record of combat deployments

You don't get reduced from sergeant to specialist for no reason. Usually it involves an Article 15, which is a non-judicial way to dispose of a violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. The UCMJ is a federal law, therefore, someone who has been found guilty and punished under Art 15 by definition has a criminal record.

Seriously, who cares how he voted?  Same for Laughner and the Aurora shooter.  This idiot thought it was a good idea to go into a house of worship and start shooting innocent men, women, and children.  He's an abomination, not something to be used as a political tool.  He's no different than a rabid dog and needs to be treated as such.

I read it was an "Other Than Honorable" discharge (one notch below dishonorable).  Regardless, reduction from Sgt. & OTH discharge or DD would require courts martial rather than Art 15.

'Other than honorable' is still an Administrative (The most severe Administrative, but still an Administrative).

With what he did in that temple. I can only imagine what he was like in the military. They probably gave him and 'Other than honorable' to be nice.

Lots of times OTH is given as part of a plea deal.  A lot of folks think that was what Kerry got for his initial discharge from the Reserves & Carter later changed it to honorable.

Yep. And Kerry probably got a dishonorable for his actions.
