    Radio or TV? Because the tv report just showed the briefing where the Greenfield chief said a shooter was put down by the Oak Creek cop.

    Briefing says four dead inside, three dead outside, including the perp.

    With God as my witness... I didn't do it. (Just happened to be wearing a t-shirt.)

    Milwaukee also had a work place shooting on Friday. Any connection here?

    Guns were involved in both. Why this isn't a more pressing political issue than stuff like same-sex marriage is puzzling to me.

    I think we all know why.

    Because this is AMURICA! Freedom!

    I would say more but I don't want to get handcuffed and jailed for leering into political territory.

    I've learned not to trust speculative early reports from crime scenes, but if what I have read about the shooters is true, it makes me even more sick to my stomach than I already am.

    Here's the latest ...

    http://www.jsonline.com/news/crime/reports-of-people-shot-at-sikh-temple-in-oak-creek-qc6cgc0-165059506.html

    I drove by this temple last week (didn't know it, but I did) when I diverted myself off I-94 to get gas.

    My thoughts go out to my hometown and the Sikh community in it. I'm sick about this.

    Andy Reid's son's death is topping this story in Eastern Pennsylvania. I assume if it were an incident at a Christian church, it would be the top story.

    I'm as liberal as they come, but that's the big local story there. Don't think it would make a darn bit of difference what church it happened at.

    It's a fucked-up world...

    Not that any religion should worry about getting shot for their beliefs, but the Sikhs are particularly unlikely because they've been targeted by people too dumb -- or too lazy -- to know the differences between Sikhs and Muslims.
