This is probably an internet hoax, but it's still kind of funny, in a macabre way. It does give me an idea though ....

Well since the warcraft gold mines have slowed up I imagine this is going to be more commonplace.

Tadao Apr 10th, 2012 05:57 PM

Some idiot just shot up a Sikh temple outside Milwaukee. Apparently the temple and Sikh-owned businesses there have been hassled recently by rednecks mistaking them for Muslims, and this is apparently an extension of that.

kahljorn Aug 5th, 2012 01:49 PM

wow thats fucked up. but whoever wrote that article is a complete fucking moron:

Quote:

Sunday's shooting is similar to an incident in March 2005 in Brookfield, when a gunman killed parishioners during a church service at the Sheraton Hotel in Brookfield where the Living Church of God met regularly.
One of their own, long-time church member Terry Ratzmann, 44, of New Berlin, opened fire, killing himself and seven other people. Then-District Attorney Paul Bucher told the Associated Press in August 2005 that Ratzmann executed the pastor’s family and “then randomly opened up fire after that."
how is that similar to a hate crime done by somebody who's not a part of the church

Dimnos Aug 6th, 2012 12:00 AM

Both stories have guns and churches. They both also happened on this planet. The similarities are staggering.

Kitsa Aug 6th, 2012 11:02 AM

Apparently the guy led a hate group called End Apathy. I can't imagine someone being so angry about the existence of Sikhs that he would have to go in and shoot up the place. I don't think anyone, in general, has been pissed at Sikhs since Indira Gandhi was assassinated. So it would almost have to be that he was woefully misinformed about the difference between Sikhs and Muslims.

If you think about it, the reporter just kept it in the same idiotic generalization spirit.

Tadao Aug 24th, 2012 11:07 AM

So the guy who killed 77 people in Norway was sentenced to 21 years in jail.

How lame is that?

That's worse than American Life.

Zhukov Aug 25th, 2012 01:58 AM

I'd rather be in a Norwegian prison than live in America. Not really.


21 years is fucking ridiculous though. He'll do it again most likely.

Tadao Aug 25th, 2012 12:49 PM

I think after 21 years they can keep him longer if they want or some shit like that. Why even bother with giving years, just say we are putting you in jail and we'll keep you there as long as we want.

Fathom Zero Aug 25th, 2012 01:17 PM

I think looking into the Norwegian justice system is worthwhile, for something like that.

Not that I could be arsed to do it.

Tadao Aug 25th, 2012 02:05 PM

Well the 2nd paragraph in the link says this.

"An unrepentant Breivik, 33, gave the Oslo court a stiff-armed, clench-fisted salute before being handed the steepest possible penalty, 21 years. His release, however, can be put off indefinitely should he still pose a threat to a liberal society left traumatized by his bomb and shooting rampage last July."

So I guess it's a matter of language. The families and citizens are satisfied accordin to what the paper says. Maybe it makes them feel like caring humans to not hand out life sentences and forces their justice system to review convicts at least every 21 years.

I know the way we do things doesn't work as well as I'd like it to.

kahljorn Aug 25th, 2012 03:13 PM

hes probably gonna get shanked in prison anyway

Dimnos Aug 25th, 2012 10:25 PM

In Norway? Aren't they more likely to play patty cake?

Colonel Flagg Aug 25th, 2012 10:37 PM

In other news, Neil Armstrong passed away today at the age of 82. :(

Who here (besides me) saw the first live televised broadcast from the moon?

TRICK QUESTION BECAUSE THE MOON LANDING WAS A HOAXX!!!

Kitsa Aug 26th, 2012 08:21 AM

Just north of Dayton is the Neil Armstrong Air and Space Museum. I went in the early 80s and again in 2006, and the movie hadn't changed, they were still getting ready to launch the Challenger and talking about Skylab.
