7 Dead at Sikh Temple in Oak Creek, Wis.; Officials Believe 'White Supremacist' Behind 'Domestic

Seven people were shot and killed today at a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wis., in what officials are treating as a case of domestic terrorism.

Though police have not given any details on the identity or motive of the shooter, or released the identities of the victims, sources have told ABC News the shootings are the work of a "white supremacist" or "skinhead."

This evening, the FBI and a bomb squad arrived at a home in Cudahy, Wis., near Oak Creek, and ABC News Milwaukee affiliate WISN reported the action appeared to be related to the temple shootings earlier in the day.

Authorities also were trying to trace a single, semiautomatic handgun recovered at the scene, sources told ABC News.

“The gunman’s home, located in the 3700 block of East Holmes Avenue in Cudahy"

What an odd coincidence.

False flag just in time for elections.

When I read from the Milwaukee Journal online, I caught one line that said he was originally from Chicago.

One of the dreaded ILLINOIS NAZIS...

Remember this story:

CLOUDCROFT, N.M. — Sgt. Billy Anders knew something was terribly wrong. The fresh blood spots outside the roadside cabin, the hatchback with the open rear door in the driveway and the instincts he had honed as a big-city cop in San Antonio gave him reason to be alarmed. His gut was right.

What happened in the next few minutes on that freezing night in December 2004 would leave two men dead, a community in shock and Sergeant Anders, a beloved local sheriff's officer nearing retirement, charged with killing a handcuffed prisoner. A video camera in the sergeant's own patrol truck was unblinking witness.

That the victim was a white supremacist ex-convict, Earl Flippen, who had just killed his pregnant girlfriend and Sergeant Anders's partner, sprayed gunfire around the girlfriend's 3-year-old daughter and barely missed shooting Sergeant Anders at point-blank range, was beside the point.

The call took them to a cabin rented by Mr. Flippen, a 38-year-old career criminal whose "white pride" tattoos proclaimed his membership in the Aryan Brotherhood.

Shortly before the deputies pulled up, Mr. Flippen had shot to death his 30-year-old girlfriend, Deborah Rhoudes, then eight months pregnant, and rolled her body into a rug for loading into his waiting hatchback. Ms. Rhoudes's 3-year-old daughter, Victoria, was also there.

An Officer Seen as a Hero Faces a Year Behind Bars

The rest of the story is that after Sergeant Anders got out of prision, members of the Aryan Brotherhood conspired to kill Anders in revenge for the death of Flippen. The plot was discovered by the Feds and two AB members were convicted and are in jail. Others were also involved but I don't know their outcome. If the current shooter is allied with this group, or was just a wannabe for them, it won't harm the conservative or tea party movement as the AB and their ilk are recognized as being outside the norms of lawful and civilized behavior.

Please stand by while govt and media officials properly review the facts of the case in order to present the most objective perspective of this tragedy. We can tell you immediately, however, the perpetrator is a “middle aged balding white guy”.

>> a traffic violation same as the Batman Killer

> Yeah, and according to reports, lived on a street same
> as the batman killer’s last name: “Holmes”.

This must be some way of keeping the operations from getting mixed up.

They’re working on his birth certificate. Hawaii is in a later time zone.

I myself was shocked after 9/11 at how many Americans actually thought Indians were Muslim - and a lot of those people apparently sat through at least four years of college. You would think something would have sunk in via osmosis if nothing else.

You better go back, or maybe going was the problem.

From the CIA Word FactBook for India:

Hindu 80.5%, Muslim 13.4%, Christian 2.3%, Sikh 1.9%, other 1.8%, unspecified 0.1% (2001 census)

So, 7 times as many Muslims in India as Sikhs.

Over 161 million Muslims in India, very comparable to Pakistan's 181 Million. (95%)

Couldn’t possibly be the work of the Sikh’s traditional enemies, the Muslims could it?

Hater!

I’ll be praying for the families of those victims. It stinks when innocent people are killed.

If there was a political agenda behind this we’ll probably never know for sure who was really behind it.

In the meantime, I hurt for those families. Nobody should have to go through what they’re going through.

The MSM must be so happy. They finally found a white supremacist at the center of a shooting.

Each time there is a major shooting, they breathlessly hope that it will please, PLEASE be not a leftist, and each time, nope, it is one of their nutters.
