Why does CNN keep pointing out that Sikhs are not Muslims?
Because they believe the hoi polloi cant tell the difference.
They enlighten. They're CNN, bitch.
Hopefully this will remain an isolated crime committed by a lone sociopath. I fear the gun-control lobby will shamelessly exploit this tragedy just like with the Aurora shooting however.
The gun-control lobby is as small and impotent as the anti-GMO lobby.
That ship has sailed.
Well his jewel was flashing, and Mike Tyson's Punch-Out has taught us that that's when they're about to strike. He should have had a fat black guy in a red sweatshirt on a bike as the getaway though.
