    A gun wielded by a policeman. Not a civilian.

    You're forgetting the post-9/11 "hate crimes" on Muslim-Americans, mostly involving petty vandalism. Sikhs were also targeted in these "hate crimes" because of the "turbans" that they wear on their heads. I'm sure that the Obamedia will find some way to blame it on the Tea Party like Obama's ABC News did a couple weeks ago after the Aurora theater massacre. We have to cut the Obamedia off at the pass and blame anti-religious Occupy liberal godless sodomites quickly before the lamestream media has a chance to do it again.

    From your article...

    Police received the emergency call around 10:25 a.m. There have been reports of more than one shooter and that others may be inside the temple with hostages, although that has not been substantiated.

    CNN interviewed a man who said his father had been shot, and he was told there was more than one gunman.



    I will be interested to see how this morphs over the next week. Several people tried to tell the Aurora police that there were multiple gunmen and canisters coming from both directions. Even the police scanner spoke of two assailants...and within an hour the police shut down anyone saying that there were multiple gunmen.

    It looks like the situation is over.

    The word right now is that there was only one gunman. Including him, there are at least 7 dead, not counting the 3 who are receiving various levels of emergency care.

    Awful, awful day.

    In high stress situations like this, there's so much chaos, that people usually get things wrong. It's a well-documented phenomenon. The higher the stress, the harder it is to keep even basic things straight, like how many people there are.

    I work in criminal defense and I understand what eye-witness testimony is and what it is not. Eyewitness testimony is only valid before people begin talking to other people, at that point they are influenced by source amnesia and group think.

    When people during the aurora shooting were texting multiple gunmen and multiple gas masks were found...I have to wonder why the police didn't follow up. Were they worried they would be blamed for allowing someone to escape...?

    Anyway, I hope that for the sake of these people who suffered through sinking violence that true justice is served.

    THe media is deliberately not releasing the race/ethnicity of the suspect. That usually means NOT "white".

    My guess, is that it is an attack from the Number One enemy of Sikhs in America...

    ...or...

    There were multiple gunmen, yet one patsy was elected to take the fall. If they can do that after assassinating a U.S. President, then they can certainly do it for a U.S. President during an election year as he touts gun control all over the place while massacring a movie theater and a conveniently non-Christian temple for some politically irrelevant religion like Sikhism...whatever that is.

    The media is reporting as they get information. This was posted on USAToday a few ago.

    Well, there have been no Muslim extremist actions lately. So it appears to be a lone gunman with reasons personal to him. As for Obama and the MSM, everytime they try to tie these types of tragedies to their political counterparts, they wind up with egg on their own faces. So I don't think we need to beat them to that punch. Why should we wear the egg when it is so much more appealing on THEIR faces. ;-)

    To be fair, the media also reported that George Zimmerman was a white racist from a white neighborhood.

    If the forum wasn't so slow he may have been faster.

    Why not? Most folks are responsible with their firearms. Why would there be any problem?

    He was "white and bald", remember? And with a name like Zimmerman, it has to be Jewish (white). ;)

    All my gun nut colleagues are god-fearing conservatives. We hunt animals, not people.

    Perhaps you do not realize that most folks who own a gun know how to use it as well or better than a policeman? Don't get me wrong, that policeman is a hero in my book however, he wouldn't have had to risk his life if folks in that temple were armed.

    I'm not advocating to legislate to keep guns out of churches, I'm stating that I would succumb to a fit of Catholic guilt were I to bring a Glock into the house of the Lord.

    Are you really that slow? The link is the media's past efforts to jump to conclusions that the attacker was white.
