"When television newscasters have to explain that a Sikh is not a Muslim, our ignorance as a society is confirmed. What is even scarier is the subtle implication that it would somehow have been more acceptable if the victims were actually Muslim."
My friend Connie, who's normally quite funny, but this time just settled for right.
An additional quote from the Rude Pundit:
"Of course the gun was purchased legally. For years, the mantra of the NRA and its lackeys in government and the media has been "enforce the laws we have." Maybe we need to say that the laws we have are so weak that enforcing them doesn't really help the problem."
