The father of the man who opened fire and killed five people across Seattle and later killed himself after a citywide manhunt, says his son was a very private person who was "disgruntled" and had been a frequent customer of the coffee shop where his rampage began.

A police officer who is a 20-year law enforcement veteran responded to multiple 911 calls about the shooting and came upon a gunman outstide the temple. The officer was shot multiple times, Wendlandt said. The officer returned fire, striking and killing the gunman. The wounded officer was taken to a hospital where he was undergoing surgery.

Really bugging me that CNN keeps having talking heads explaining how Sikhs differ from Muslims and how the casual visual similarity to the uninitiated leads to Sikhs being "unfairly targeted for violence."
Like, opposed to the totally legit targeting of Muslims in the US? Fuck you guys.

"I just want to say this temple was built a number of years ago and there have never been any problems with this temple," Oak Creek Alderman Dan Jakubczyk said. "They've been a plus to this city and to my district."

it was a white shooter?
there has been intense sikh-on-sikh violence in the past in the bay area although generally involving melee and not guns

White, by all accounts. The suspect's home has been investigated, presumably some form of initial announcement will be made tonight.

I will cop to feeling vaguely *guilty* when Sikhs and other brown non-Muslims were targeted for hate speech/crimes immediately following September 11th until a Muslim friend pointed out how fucked up this was.
I was driving all day and public radio played a tearful interview with a family member of the founder of the temple. It was hard to listen to.

can't they make it law that if you want to have a gun you have to be in the nat'l guard or something?
― the late great, Monday, 6 August 2012 00:24 (9 months ago) Permalink
then all the crazies who want guns would just join the national guard. and then they'd all meet. and they'd be ORGANIZED. brb gonna go write a novel.

that's fine. it's not like joining the guard is getting a library card?

My impression of Milwaukee was a couple of desperately poor ghettos surrounded by extremely conservative suburbs. Scott Walker got his start in Waukesha, which is pretty close to Oak Creek.

Except its especially bad there, almost all the suburbs used to be sundown towns.
And there parts of the North side that look third world, like Detroit only more concentrated.

This is a city that has a contractual stipulation for teachers that they have to live in the city limits, otherwise virtually none of them would. One of the hardest drinking cities in the country too.
