2 Children Saw the Sikh Shooter First

Two children were the first to see the shooter outside the temple and the first to warn temple members what was happening, the witness said.

“It was a boy and a girl who were sitting outside. The girl was from the family who was hosting the lunch today. The first shot that the shooter took was just like some firework [the children thought].

“He shot the two people who actually came out of the cab and they were entering the church. These two kids [ran inside and alerted members].”

The witness said he spoke to the children and they described the gunman:

“One guy, blue pants, white shirt, white guy, little heavy, who was taking these shots.”

    Get ready for more gun control advocates. Who kills a Sikh? I’m feeling these slaughters might be in the mind and spirit of “Fast, furious, and want to rob you of your 2nd amendment rights”? Can’t wait to hear the racist, gun loving, conservative mass murdering spin on this.

    I really can’t imagine any reason to hate the Sikh people.

    I personally don’t like the Arabs, in general.

    But the Sikhs? Amongst the loveliest people on earth!!

    From the article (right after Romney’s statement):
    “Is it offensive to suggest that both men must by now have a generic template document offering words of consolation and succor in the event of a mass shooting in the states?”

    Read the comments in the article – We’re all a bunch of knuckle dragging, bible thumping, uneducated, gun toting cowboys in their eyes.

    I guess they won’t wan’t our help when WWIII starts….
    “After the fall of France and the Dunkirk evacuation in 1940, Britain found itself short of arms for island defense. The Home Guard was forced to drill with canes, umbrellas, spears, pikes, and clubs. When citizens could find a gun, it was generally a sporting shotgun, which was ill-suited for most types of military use because of its short range and bulky ammunition. British government advertisements in United States newspapers and in magazines such as American Rifleman begged readers to “Send A Gun to Defend a British Home–British civilians, faced with threat of invasion, desperately need arms for the defense of their homes.” The ads pleaded for “Pistols, Rifles, Revolvers, Shotguns and Binoculars from American civilians who wish to answer the call and aid in defense of British homes.”[77] As a result of these ads, Pro-Allied organizations in the United States collected weapons; the National Rifle Association shipped 7,000 guns to Britain. Britain also purchased surplus World War I Enfield rifles from the United States Department of War.[78] Before the war, British authorities had refused to allow domestic manufacture of the Thompson submachine gun because it was “a gangster gun,”[79] but when the war broke out, large numbers of American-made Thompsons were shipped to Britain, where they were dubbed “tommie guns.”[80]”

    This is “domestic terrorism” and when the creep at Ft. Hood kills 13 while shouting “Allahu Akbar!” it’s not. Victim disarmament zones must be eliminated. We’re not locking up crazies, so the sane folks have to protect themselves.

    When the Fort Hood shooting occured, the first things that trended on Twitter’s #p2 was “don’t judge the shooter’s religion by his name” and “we hope there is no muslim backlash.” Will the same attitude be shown in the wake of the “heavy white guy” description?

    False Flag aimed to divert Michelle Bachman’s call for an investigation into the muslim brotherhood. FBI taking over the case to insure the public believes this was domestic terrorism. How do they know that already, the gunman was killed, are they now able to read the minds of the dead. And holy cow, no muslims were actually hurt in the making of this incident. This is now their answer to everything.

    There’s a good chance this is going to end up with one or more rubes that have mistaken Sikhs with Muslims. That happens here in Cali a lot. Most of the idiots making that mistake are still wearing mullets. There’s a huge population of Sikhs in the Northern Central Valley of Cali. and they are a great people.

    @Brad

    The weirdest thing here is that the Sikh males were traditionnaly always armed. Even the boys.

    They really need to be armed now as they were. Those are ranchers-farmers WARRIORS.

    Their ancestors bear the dagger and the sword, now contemporaty Sikhs need the handgun and the automatic rifle.

    @LaBonBon & TON, thanks for the links.

    When I first heard about this event, something seemed fishy to me. Not sure why…maybe because it’s so soon after the CO shooting.
    Combined with the fact that we’ve been warned numerous times of “false flags”, I’m more convinced than ever that this is a set-up.
    Black ops?
