Sikh Temple shooting being treated as domestic terrorism, Oak Creek police say
Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel ^ | August 5, 2012 | Staff Writers

Posted on 08/05/2012 3:29:09 PM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

The shooting at the Sikh Temple in Oak Creek about 10:15 a.m. Sunday that left at least seven people dead, including the shooter, and three people injured is being treated as a domestic terrorist incident, Oak Creek Police Chief John Edwards said.

Oak Creek police officers who responded to a 911 call about the shooting were helping a victim when the shooter ambushed one of the officers, shooting the officer multiple times.

A second Oak Creek officer returned fire, killing the shooter, Edwards said.

The wounded officer, described as at least a 20-year veteran of the department, was in surgery Sunday afternoon and was expected to survive, Edwards said during a 4 p.m. news conference.

Of those killed, four of the dead were inside the temple at 7512 S. Howell Ave. and three of the dead, including the shooter, were outside the temple.

I suspect that even though the shooter is dead, one of his knuckle dragging friends will be able to illuminate his motives. It’s hard to imagine a good reason for a sane person to want to shoot Sikhs.

OK, I’m lost. Cudahay is near this Temple and this makes it certain he wasn’t a bubba because?

Help, please.

FWIW, a quick visual check to determine Sikh vs muzz; the Sikh’s wrap two cloths to make a turban. The muzzies use one.

No, they also use one long piece of cloth.
Majority Sikhs use colorful turban, even printed.

>> One pro-union poster says the “union” is the reason the gunman was taken down

Yet the jackass has no explanation for the honorable men and women serving in the Military.

“This did not happen with the Aurora shooting, so someone knows something.”

Probably an FBI informant, agent provocateur, gone awry. AG has the FBI there to cover up their connection...if they are there that fast.

Probably,because they are busy scrubbing is Facebook page and any other material and background info that will link him to the left and at the same time create false links to Tea Party Conservatives. That’s probably the new SOP from now on,lest we figure out for ourselves the actual truth.

Just yesterday there was a documentary on PBS WORLD cable channel that covered an incident from just after 911 in New Mexico where a stupid man, incensed by the 911 terror attacks, killed a Sikh man, thinking he was a muslim....

Frankly, the Tparty has nothing to clue on with the Sikhs... this, to me, smells of another usual suspect retard.

By and by people are going to see that the sick indulging crazies are the liberals and their enablers.

You forgot to put “/sarc” in your posting.

I'm not sure a /sarc tag would have helped, but you have a point, since Orwell's 1984 is probably no longer required reading in high school.

"We've always been at war with Eastasia" is explained here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nineteen_Eighty-Four

If the views I have seen expressed on FR are Tea Party views, and I think they are, then Tea Partiers admire Sikhs to the limited extent that they pay attention to Sikhs at all. There is no animosity.

And yet when muslimes murder it’s not labeled domestic terrorism. In fact, it never was in any case until now, so he must be a tea party member or something.

4 were killed in shootings down the road in Chicago just Friday night, 10 were wounded. Last night, 2 were killed, 19 were wounded in more shooting in Chicago.

WERE IS THE MEDIA OUTRAGE?
WHERE ARE THE TV CAMERAS, and networks devoting endless hours of coverage to it??

Or is that too politically-incorrect to talk about now, since it might embarass a Democrat, or a Democrat-voting group?
