Why do right wing shootings get absolutely zero news coverage? If some one had shot up a christian church this would be headline news for months......but the norway shootings, gabrielle gifford.... no news what-so-ever

Gabrielle Giffords did get a great deal of news coverage, of course it was mostly about her recovery process than any of the others. Still, when a Christian blows up an abortion clinic you won't hear about it.

Jesus Christ. Not that this makes it any worse or better, but I guarantee this asshole thought he was killing Muslims.

All I can say besides that is what the fuck is wrong with people?

Chances are you're probably right. Education is not this country's strong suit.

My heart goes out to the families of victims and the victims themselves. All this senseless taking of human life baffles me.

^ This says it all. Very well said.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Did the fact it was at a sikh temple as opposed to a movie theatre not give this story enough notoriety for it to get on tv?

I'm watching the news now and apparently the shooter has a 9/11 tattoo on his arm.
