The 'Mass-Shooting In The US' thread

[Munson]

Breaking...Multiple people shot at a Sikh temple in Milwaukee.

if this was a white right winger or a muslim of a different demonination, the news is going to be unbearable for weeks.

Make that "more unbearable"

The description of the shooter is big, bald white dude.

Ah nevermind, I thought that said Shia on my phone. I have no idea what the hell religion Sikh is. Though that sounds like a denomination of Islam too.

[General_Failure]

It isn't. And it seems that this is still ongoing, and has turned into a hostage situation with multiple gunmen.

Sikhs aren't Muslim but ignorant honkies see headgear and work themselves into an anti-terrorism lather. People are the worst.

How many people who read this sort of posting actually learn something from it?  I mean, it's just a circlejerk, isn't it?  Hawk's homeboys aren't taking this in.  To them, he's the liberal.  It's hard to see the litany of crimes laid out in black and white, but seriously...no one who reads it has anything to do with the people who perpetrate, condone, and celebrate it.  We are so divorced from each other that I find these kinds of articles useless. 

We've got to find a way to reach the people who target Sikhs--and blog postings farging ain't the way--or we have to just snuff them out.

I'm increasingly willing to endorse the latter proposition.
