Bizarre Crime at Sikh Temple in Bakersfield
Bizarre Crime at Sikh Temple in Bakersfield (CA)

December 23, 2005 - Someone is apparently trying to send a bizarre message to members of a Sikh temple in the South Valley.
Members left the temple after a meeting Thursday night to find two pig heads left outside the doors of their temple in Bakersfield.

A spokesperson says that just a week and a half ago eggs were thrown into their building.

2. some idiot freeper...
...with no knowledge of other religions thinks they're Muslims, I bet. Just like how a few days after 9/11 some moron in Arizona (?) murdered an innocent Sikh, targeting him because they wear turbans...

3. I wonder if the morans think their muslims again.
These Sikhs are always getting attacked by morans trying to create hate crimes against muslims.

4. It's Bakersfield
probably the shittiest part of CA, next to Orange.

Well, nobody accused racists of being very intelligent.

5. Definitely some ignorant fuck.
They think the the Sikhs are Muslim and would be offended by the pig heads. They are likely just an escalation from the eggs. It's probably kid, and they probably think they're being funny.

6. Not surprising in Bakersfield, birthplace of such wondrous things as
the twin nazi girl singers Prussian Blue.

Having lived there for 5 years, I can tell you that the folks in that town would probably think anyone who wears any headwear other than a cowboy hat or a baseball cap is a Muslim.

14. Not nearly as bad.
It's kind of boring (because of a complete lack of anything to do), but it's not a bad place. I used to work with an attorney whose parents owned a guest ranch in Tehachapi :)

7. Like this recent revelation of spying on Muslim mosques
isn't going to incite hate?? Especially when their are morAns who think it is OK.

8. So, did the Sikhs just bring the pig heads inside and barbeque them?
Sikhs have no problems with pork, 'ya dumbass freepers....

11. After 9/11 a Sikh owner of a convenience store/gas station was killed
in Phoenix simply because he was of dark complexsion and Indian descent. Stupid fools don't know their ass from a hole in the ground.

Soon after my daughters best friend who is also a Sikh, white Irish/English American girl, who became a Sikh during her college years where she obtained her degree in Psychology and works with troubled children. She arrived at our home attired in her white turbin, white pants and top and her turbin was donning a beautiful sparkling pin and colorful ribbons. My daughter questioned her dress, as she was worried about her safety and why she wasn't down playing her Sikh dress. Her response was, If they are going to kill me, I want to be wearing my finest.

Bush and his band of thugs have unleashed every uneducated and crazy in order to line their pockets sate their lust for power.

13. Mesa, not phoenix.
His store is around the corner from my grandmother's house. There's a rather large shrine outside the store that the neighborhood maintains in memory of him.

18. Well I am almost thankful they are NOT labeled that
Cause then old uncle bushy-the-biatch would start using everything under the sun with the press as terrorism and crack down even more on folks here in US. What next church-marshalls in the pews with guns :)
