I literally *just* read about this while checking my Yahoo mail before coming here - so unbelievably sad and tragic that these sorts of things keep happening. My thoughts are with the victims, survivors, and their friends and family. |

Horrible!!!!
I hope I am sooooooo wrong ... but I predict incidents similar to this will continue with more and more frequency. Poor people didn't have a chance against a nut with handguns whose intent was to destroy lives. Wonder if he was hoping to one-up Colorado's batman psycho. |

Thank you for posting this very sad news. They're loss is a loss for all of us. I hope that trauma therapists get to the community before too much time passes. Greco

This is really sad all the way around. To be killed for no other reason than that your beliefs are different from what someone else believes.

This whole thing is just heartbreaking and disgusting. I can only imagine the pain and grief of the families, and the community.
Someone posted on Facebook an image that I now can't find....but basically said something to the effect of intending to post an explanation of the differences between Muslims and Sikhs, and then realizing that it really wasn't necessary for people to understand about someone else's religious beliefs in order to know enough not to shoot them. Hate and violence get us nowhere....and I seriously don't get why that's so hard for people to understand.

http://sikhcoalition.org/get-involve...munity-support
resources for those wanting to support the sikh community. includes a list of vigils around the u.s. and canada as well as a pdf of ways to support the sikh community through holding a vigil, spreading awareness, donating to the victims, etc. jo, i just shared that image on fb here it is... also this film has pages of info related to hate crimes against the sikh community post 9/11. sikhs were the first to be attacked (the first man to die in a hate crime related to 9/11 was a sikh) because they are often assumed to be muslim. http://www.dwf-film.com/ |

I am standing up at the water's edge in my dream I cannot make a single sound as you scream It can't be that cold, the ground is still warm to touch This place is so quiet, sensing that storm Red rain is coming down Red rain Red rain is pouring down Pouring down all over me Well I've seen them buried in a sheltered place in this town They tell you that this rain can sting, and look down There is no blood around see no sign of pain Hay ay ay no pain Seeing no red at all, see no rain Red rain is coming down Red rain Red rain is pouring down Pouring down all over me Red rain- Putting the pressure on much harder now To return again and again Just let the red rain splash you Let the rain fall on your skin I come to you defences down With the trust of a child Red rain is coming down Red rain Red rain is pouring down Pouring down all over me And I can't watch any more No more denial It's so hard to lay down in all of this Red rain is coming down Red rain is pouring down Red rain is coming down all over me I see it Red rain is coming down Red rain is pouring down Red rain is coming down all over me I'm bathing in it Red rain coming down Red rain is coming down Red rain is coming down all over me I'm begging you Red rain coming down Red rain coming down Red rain coming down Red rain coming down Over me in the red red sea Over me Over me Red rain Last edited by DMW; 08-09-2012 at 02:32 AM. |
