Also reminds me of the Buddhist Temple murders back in 1991.

......also reminds me of Russell Pearce's buddy baby killer and racist J.T. Ready, extremist right wing local talk radio, the Obama hating tea party and the general state of the right wing radicals that populate the Arizona state legislature along with our national representatives.

To add insult to this tragedy, the lying mouth Pat Robertson actually tried to blame the violence on atheists, stopping short of actually labeling the shooter an atheist.
As it turns out, Page (the shooter) is a Neo-Nazi and a Christian.
WHAT A SURPRISE!!! LOL

Sadly, the Left-Wing Liberals/Progressives and Democrats are once again dehumanizing the victims of these "hate crimes" to their own political ends. The victims of these horrific hate crimes should be remembered for who they were not what they were. Leave politics out of the discussion, please.
Mr. Sukhpal Singh Sodhi was murdered while driving a cab in the Mission District (you can't get more "Liberal" than this anywhere in America). Geography has nothing to do with Racial, Ethnic or Religous hatred and persecution.
The reason the Sodhi Family moved from their hometown of Passiwal, Punjab State, India was because of day-to-day, anti-Sikh religious discrimination and persecution that they were suffering in their native Country of India. America doesn't have a lock on hate crimes. Just look at Africa, Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India too. Millions and Millions have been and are being murdered for being this Religion or that Religion.
Balbar Singh Sodhi and Sukhpal Singh Sodhi were incredibly hard-working, patriotic American Citizens. They contributed to American Society and were loving parents, husbands, brothers and sons. Let us remember and pray for them as the good men that they were.

Has anyone else noticed all the flags in the State flying at half-mast? Thanks to the Governor for this gesture of brotherhood.
