A Note to Racist Idiots

Sikhs are not Muslims.

So yeah -- let the conspiracy games begin! Who programmed THIS latest shooter? Did he really act alone? What was the real meaning of the shooting?

Okay, here we go:

An anonymous federal official released the identity of Sunday's Sikh Temple massacre gunman on Monday as US military veteran Wade Michael Page, 40. Page began a shooting rampage at a Sikh temple in suburban Milwaukee on Sunday, leaving six people dead and three others critically wounded in what police are calling an act of domestic terrorism. Wade was killed outside the temple in a shootout with police officers.

According to the source, Page was a US Army "psychological operations specialist," who served between April 1992 and October 1998, ending his career at Fort Bragg, North Carolina.

A defense official said the suspect was discharged from the Army in 1998, but he declined to say whether Page received an honorable discharge.

Officials originally described the suspect as a bald, heavy-set, 40-year-old Caucasian with numerous tattoos referencing white supremacist messages.

The Southern Poverty Law Center says that Wade Michael Page, the suspected shooter at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin, was a singer in a "skinhead" band called End Apathy.

On Monday the Southern Poverty Law Center, told Reuters that Wade had been a member of the racist skinhead band End Apathy, based in Fayetteville, North Carolina, in 2010. Photos from the band's Myspace website page show Wade playing in the band. Wade also tried to buy goods from the National Alliance, a neo-Nazi group, in 2000, the Center revealed.

Just lovely.

UPDATE: Some people are saying several men were involved in the shooting. That's possible, though if so many men were shooters, then I would expect a higher death toll. Perhaps the witness got confused with the police who came in firing? I have to think that's the case with the person who said there were 20-30 dark dressed men coming in shooting. But a psy-op plot is always possible, with this Page guy as a good patsy for the Obama administration.
