We were all shocked when we heard about the Sikh Temple
shooting in Wisconsin , coming so soon after
the movie theater carnage in Colorado .
When I heard about the person that did the shooting, I just
shook my head in disgust.
Wade Michael Page was a loser that lost his job, lost his
girlfriend, lost his trailer and lost his car so he had to blame someone or
some people for his dire predicament because surely he could not take personal
responsibility for being in the pickle he was in…lets blame those people…shoot
a few or many and go out in a blaze of glory…
Page was into White Supremacist groups and played in bands
associated with those groups. Those groups have totally disowned him after the
shooting saying he is just plain crazy but some army buddies of his have said
that he hated all non-whites and was waiting for the “revolution” to begin.

Many confuse them with Muslims which they are not but have
been attacked after 9/11 by people who mistook them for Muslims or Taliban; that
you can blame on our collective ignorance of other cultures.
The guy in Colorado
dressed as the Joker from the Batman story, was insane but this guy was sane,
just filled with enough hatred to kill over and over again.
We as a nation have a history of intolerance even though we
are known as a melting pot of peoples. You would think that we have come a long
way since the bad ole’ days but have we really…
I will be watching for news of this guy’s background, his
upbringing, his family, his friends…the hatred had to come from somewhere; we
are not born hating, we learn to hate.
