That's what I am thinking or he/she didn't care.

Bet you he's a racist.. But seriously. How can the americans still think their gun laws are justifiable? But anyway. Screw the gun debate. Good luck to the authorties and the people held hostage :/ Sikh temples aren't just places of worship. they're the centre of our communities and especially since he chose a sunday to attack. They'll be plenty of people inside. Let us hope.

Just watching it now. So sad man.

Hate making assumptions but Im going to guess its a red neck mistaking Sikhs for Muslims, not that it's any excuse no matter what the circumstances are.


Inb4 another giant gun debate.

Agreed.

First the Aurora Cinema, now this. The US seriously needs to draw up a bill or something to prevent this sort of thing from happening.

That's so sad . Children are among the hostages, which is especially sick since they were celebrating a little girl's birthday at the temple. How can anybody be so heartless? My thoughts and prayers go out to them.

It's much more likely it IS a muslim, who usually don't like Sikhs.

I can't say your wrong at this moment, but how exactly is it more likely?

[Charlottie93]

It's awful what has happened, the gunman has been found dead now and thankfully not too many were killed. http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2012/08/05...t-sikh-temple/

It's an absolute disgrace, where do they get the weapons from is it really just that easy to get guns in America? All those people dying for no reason.

Don't jump to conclusions or assume things without any basis in fact. It's not "more likely" at all.

Other way round, we don't have any problem with them.

One that restricts access to guns and ammunition much more heavily perhaps?

Its not like America is the only place in the world where people are killed by guns, 4 people were shot in Liverpool last night despite our gun laws that clearly make the innocent more vulnerable and are a mere hurdle for anyone who wants a gun to kill members or the public.

What a stupid thing to say.
