MEANING OF "14" TATTOO - The “14″ stands for a 14-word slogan they follow that goes as follows, “We must secure the existence of the our people and a future for white children.” 

The assumption is that he was targeting Muslims. There have been reports that he had a "9/11" tattoo, as well as White Supremacist tattoos.

How could the man have spent six years in the military during the 90's yet not have been able to distinguish between Sikh and Muslim?

(And, just in case anyone wanders onto this website who is just as stupid as Wade Michael Page, NO, IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN BETTER IF HE HAD GONE INTO A MOSQUE AND SHOT A BUNCH OF MUSLIMS.)

If it is true that he wanted to murder Muslims and he could not tell the difference between Sikh and Muslim then that is a condemnation of our Defense Department and the American Military. If the man can not tell the difference between Muslim and Sikh, how could he possibly have been able to determine the difference between normal everyday Muslim and Jihadist?

If we do not know who our enemy is, we can never defeat them.

From Yahoo:

The gunman who opened fire in a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wis., and killed six people has been identified as Army veteran Wade Michael Page. 

Page, 40, opened fire outside the temple before entering around 10:30 a.m. Sunday morning and killed six people. He served in the Army from April 1992 through October 1998. 

Page was shot and killed in an exchange of gunfire with a police officer who sustained "eight or nine" gunshot wounds, authorities confirmed. Officials are treating it as a case of domestic terrorism. 

Though police have not given any details on the motive of the shooter, but Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms Special Agent Thomas Ahern said Page had tattoos that suggested he had ties to white supremacists. 

"It is being investigated. And what his tattoos signified is being investigated. They are all pieces of a possible puzzle to learn what was his motive in carrying out such a horrific act," Ahern said. 

While in the Army Wade served as a sergeant, and later as a specialist based in Ft. Bliss in Texas and at Ft. Bragg in North Carolina. Wade's job was as a Hawk missile system repairman, and he then became a psychological operations specialist, defense official confirmed to ABC news.

Edwards said authorities were treating the event as a domestic terrorism incident and the FBI would be conducting a full investigation. 

"The FBI is working closely with the Oak Creek Police Department and other local and federal agencies to investigate today's shooting incident," FBI Milwaukee Special Agent in Charge Teresa Carlson said in a written statement. 

"This remains an active investigation in its early stages. While the FBI is investigating whether this matter might be an act of domestic terrorism, no motive has been determined at this time. We know our community has been deeply impacted by this incident, and our thoughts are with those affected and particularly with the officer who was wounded in the line of duty to protect others." 

Members of the Sikh community in Milwaukee expressed outrage at the shooting. 

"They went to church not knowing that they might die today," said Simran Kaleka, whose family was in the temple, according to ABC News Radio. "I don't know how sick you have to be to do that, and I don't know if it was directed toward the Sikh culture and them having turbans and having beards, but ignorance is not going to get us anywhere."

UPDATE II -

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Photos of Wade Michael Page of the group End Apathy have been released following the temple shooting 2012 this weekend. Wade Michael Page was reportedly lead singer of End Apathy which began as a rock group in 2005. Police have reportedly identified Page as the alleged gunman behind this weekend’s tragic templeshooting. 

On its MySpace page, End Apathy says that their “music is a sad commentary on our sick society and the problems that prevent true progress.” The group claims that they “began in 2005 with roots in oldschool … punk and metal influences.” The group last listed their locationas Nashville, North Carolina. Their last login to MySpace was in February 2012.

Wade Michael Page’s alleged music was authored after he was discharged from the army. Page was given a less-than-honorable discharge after serving six years in the army. During his service, he specialized in psychological operations units. He was stationed at Fort Bliss, Texas and thereafter at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. 

This weekend’s Sikh Temple shooting ended with six persons dead, four persons injured. Police contend that the gunman’s death toll could have been far worse if a responding officer had not promptly killed the shooter. For more about the tragedy, click HERE.
