Supremacy? Seriously?

Hello my dear friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of the tragic shooting at the Wisconsin Sikh Temple. Another example of that frightening mix of ignorance and arrogance. The shooter, a self proclaimed white supremacist, apparently wanted to kill innocent Muslims, not Sikhs, but lacked the intelligence to know the difference. That's the problem with hate groups. There is no IQ test required to join. This shooter, who performed in bands called End Apathy and Definite Hate, sang songs of hate and death. The Southern Poverty Law Center, who tracks hate groups, knew who he was. He'd been on their radar for nearly a decade. Yes, he was a military veteran. He never saw combat and was dishonorably discharged. The military says he had a drinking problem. So, we have a drunken loser, filled with hate, who thinks he's actually better than other people by virtue of his race. The question with this guy was when, not if. Reports say he wanted to kill Muslims and people from the Middle East. Well, he was 0-for-2. It strikes me as odd that these so called "white supremacists" and "neo-nazis" are generally the last person you would choose to represent you. They're not even smart enough to know who they're hating. They claim to be defending the white race when, in fact, they are the ones we all need protection from. Ironic, isn't it? So now we will call this animal a "domestic terrorist" because he finally acted on the hate he's been spewing for the last 12 years. Had we labeled him, and his band of lunatics, domestic terrorists prior to this attack, perhaps the good people of Wisconsin wouldn't be mourning today. When are we going to put the smackdown on these hate groups? We allow them to organize, recruit, amass weapons and spew their ignorance at will under the guise of the First Amendment. Not until they act on their hate do we respond. And, amazingly, our response is shock. We are shocked that someone, who dedicates his life to preaching the destruction of all minorities, actually kills someone. Seriously? His family is shocked! Really? We don't need more gun control. We need more hate control. Obviously we can't control how people feel, but we can certainly restrict their ability to parade their hate in the streets. If we don't rein in these ever-growing hate groups we'll be having this conversation again, and again, and again.
