The military component is forcing the media to pipe down regarding the flippant accusations and presumptions.

Sloppy reporting in general given the absence of data, but describing the basic characteristics of the alleged perp is legitimate; the stereotyping is hypocritical. Only unless a perp bears resemblance to a typical white, middle-aged male will the reporting include definitive descriptions with the extraordinary, unproven assertions and implications.

What kind of idiot would it take for someone to believe that an innocent looking man (of the sort that ABC's Brian Ross would misidentify as a tea party member) like the one I posted could possible be a skinhead killer.

Well, I guess you answered that question.

>> this guy’s motives were clear. Neo-Nazi.

He may have gravitated to the Neo-Nazi realm of insanity, but that doesn’t necessarily explain the depraved motivation to murder.

Well, I suppose if YOU want people to think YOU’RE an idiot then keep posting things like that without some sort of sarcasm tag. I never said I personally believed your post, I merely pointed out that it wasn’t funny, and could lead to others believing it wasn’t a “joke”, which in turn could hurt people’s attempts at disseminating real information.

What I was also trying to point out is that with all of the disinformation and spin that accompanies all events like this - the type which you pointed out yourself with Brian Ross’s unprofessional, and IMO political manipulations - it doesn’t do us any good to feed into the craziness that is the media.

As for this “innocent looking” individual never possibly being a skinhead killer - looks CAN and ARE deceiving sometimes... Surely, you are aware of that, correct? Or, do you actually believe that ALL criminals who commit acts of violence look a “certain way”?

Looks like someone took it down—”profile doesn’t exist”. The band’s probably trying to look really small right about now (”Holy *****, he thought we were serious about this neo-nazi stuff!!”).

This will be used to promote another exec decree by Zero to make all foreign religions welcome in the USA, and to authorize their buildings (temples, mosques, etc). You had best listen to the Muslim Obama’s calls to prayer.

Sadly, we have become a nation of whimps with Ted Kennedy’s immigration bills/reform. He gave us these folks. You move to their damn country and tell them -do not bother my religious rights, I am building a church, and; you had best protect me and respect me and my kind. also, you best let me follow my own laws and to heck with yours.

Obama wants to create more and more minorities as he sees how to divide America is by hate. He knows not that this country was founded largely by WASP’s who fled the Church of England, Catholics, and Jews. Yes we had others. This nation was settled by those Europeans mostly, who escaped the Anglican Church plus a bit more. We were not founded by MUSLIMS, SIKH’s, HINDUS, or FAGS, much by LESBIANS. Let’s refuse to be divided and tell these foreigners-”ASSIMILATE- LEARN ENGLISH-OBEY OUR LAWS or your as- is DEPORTED.

From left to right:

"Brett", "Ozzie" and "Wade" (as determined from photos w/names on the Myspace webpage):

Who wants to bet the 'person of interest' is either Brett or Ozzie (known accomplices or associates)?

A sample of their music still exists as of this writing at:

http://www.myspace.com/endapathyband/radio

with titles such as “Submission” and “Self Destruct”

“Fog of war” would apply even more here than in actual combat.

Trained soldiers at least have been trained and at least expecting the possibility that something similar to this might happen. Ordinary people going about their business fixing dinner, not so much.

Confusion and disorientation is to be expected. Someone who is able to give a calm, rational and coherent account of what happened would be an extreme exception.

I read earlier one of the shot but apparently not yet dead guys got shot charging the shooter. The Sikh warrior spirit is apparently not entirely dead. Would have been nice if he’d been a little better armed for the confrontation.

Seems that "Ozzie" also has red hair. There was a clearer photo of the "person of interest" at this link earlier, but it's now gone...

At a news conference at 10 a.m., authorities said they were attempting to identify another person, a white male, who they described as "a person of interest." But as of 2:45 p.m., FBI officials said they had identified the man and ruled him out as having anything to do with the temple incident.

He had a 9-11-01 tatoo on his right arm. He was using a phone to videotape the crowd. Tips can be called in at 800-CALLFBI (225-5324).

If everything reported about him is true, my prayers are with the Sikh community and my compliments to the Police officer that took down this nazi POS!

HOW "LEFT" GETS TRANSFORMED INTO "RIGHT"

Some of the media has already got the shooter tied to the Nazi Party.

You know, the Nazi (National Socialist) Party about whom the media and the Left has persuaded the uneducated, the unaware, the befuddled, the stupid, the lumpen masses that "Nazi" means "Right Wing"....like all we fascist right-wing, gun-totin' conservatives.

Adolf Eichman (comments in bold below), being questioned by one of the prosecutorial team at his War Crimes Trial in 1950, concerning Grynszpan:

(beginning of transcript)
Didn't you interest yourself later as to what had happened to him [Grynszpan] - or possibly by chance did you hear something?

No, it...it...it completely vanished ...completely vanished from my memory. Perhaps this was a short while before my departure for...for...perhaps this was the end of 1943...this I do not know. I don't know what...what happened to him. I did not hear anything more. I didn't hear anything more about it. At any rate I cannot ...I cannot recollect. I also don't know where...where he stayed for the rest of the time...
(end of transcript)

How 'bout that from the archetype for Hogan's Heroes' Sgt. Schultz!

Profile does not exist. Looks like Ernie Ball or the Warped Tour wanted to scrub the historical record of past association with a reputed hate group.
