A temple (church?) member just reported that the shooter had a 9/11 tattoo. So sad and infuriating. I suspect that churches will have armed guards and metal detectors before long.

Edit: On a better note there is a church member on CNN who is representing his faith and his community so beautifully.

Sikhs let anyone come in and eat at their services too, they are very kind in my experience with them the little I have.

Wiki info

Langar (Punjabi: ਲੰਗਰ, Hindi: लंगर) is the term used in the Sikh religion or in Punjab in general for common kitchen/canteen where food is served in a Gurdwara to all the visitors (without distinction of background) for free. At the langar, only vegetarian food is served, to ensure that all people, regardless of their dietary restrictions, can eat as equals. Langar is open to Sikhs and non-Sikhs alike.

Sucks that such a kind people were murdered today in their church.

Indeed. The man on CNN was so eloquent and peaceful in his interview. His uncle was among the causalities.

complete dropping of the ball by Fox News.
While CNN and CNBC is covering this event,
Fox is showing [likely taped] Romney-slurping and republican-smooching programs.
Disgusting...

Calm down spike.

They were covering it nonstop most of the day.

I am really hoping that the shooter turns out to be Loughner level mentally ill.

.

Sigh, so so stupid.

I've always had an affinity with Sikhism since I visited a Gurdwara with school. They were such cool people, no preaching or sins or any such BS, just chilled.

OKOK.
I can't wait until 2morrow night,
Hannity and O'Reilly both going,
"well, wtf, they were wearing turbans"

My 1st thought when I heard of this.

So they are Hare Krishnas minus the obnoxious music and dirty hippiness?

I don't know how accurate some of these "witnesses" are. I saw one "eyewitness" interviewed by the local ABC affiliate claim that there were two shooters and a driver that dropped them off.

Let's wait and see what happens. After all we know the suspect isn't going anywhere.

This world is a nuthouse

Could be, I've had no experience with Hare Krishnas but I had a co worker that was Sikh dude was super funny and cool to work with so I am sad this happened to folks that are like him.

No one deserved to be shot in their place of worship not saying it's worse that it was Sikhs than Muslims or anything, just sharing a bit of my experience with Sikhs they are good folks.

one good thing that will come of this is many more people learning about sikhism
