This apppears to be Wade (the shooter) I found this, and other pictures, on Myspace.
("Wade" is listed as Vocals/Guitar. The other original members are not listed as vocals. News reports say Wade Michael Page was a member of End Apathy. This picture is the lead singer of End Apathy. I do not think this is an irresponsible identification.)
Sikh temple shooter Wade Michael Page's White Supremacist metal band End Apathy has 1262 Friends on Myspace.

I don't have nearly that many friends. But then again, do I probably don't want friends like this one:

(1,370 posts)Don't know if it will do any good, but since they advertised it as "racist skinhead rock" it might.

(1,370 posts)Here's a fine example of skinhead fare: Please, if you have a just a little time, please report some of these violations. It's something you CAN do against hate, however temporary. Silence = permission.
This particular seller deals in hate "music" only, so it's not like it's a mistake or anything.

I frequently woke up terrified in the middle of the night to the sound of my Dad screaming. He was among those assigned to clean concentration camps after Hitler took the easy way out. I take things like this kinda personal.

(1 post)End Apathy's Label, Label 56 released this statement regarding discontinuing their merchandising of their CD's
Label 56 is very sorry to hear about the tragedy in Wisconsin and our thoughts are with the families and friends of those who are affected. We have worked hard over the years to promote a positive image and have posted many articles encouraging people to take a positive path in life, to abstain from drugs, alcohol, and just general behavior that can affect ones life negatively. Likewise we have never sought attention by using shock value/ symbols and ideology that are generally labeled as such. With that being said, all images and products related to End Apathy have been removed from our site. We do not wish to profit from this tragedy financially or with publicity.
In closing please do not take what Wade did as honorable or respectable and please do not think we are all like that.
Thank you, Label 56
I don't know if this guy was unable to differentiate between a Sikh (They prefer to pronounce their religion's name like "Sick", although given the English meanings, "Seek" makes a lot more sense) and a Muslim, but my guess is that he wasn't, given that both Wade M. Page and the person-of-interest both reportedly had 9/11-related ink.
One thing, while it doesn't justify cold-blooded murder, that has been pointed out, is that Sikhs have had their share of radicals in their groups. The Indian Royal Family suffered a deadly attack at the hands of Sikhs and they have warred with Muslims and Hindus and engaged in territorial disputes over the contested Punjabi region of India.
Nonetheless, the victims of Sunday's shooting were no more deserving of their fate than those of Aurora, Colorado.
Having said that, I've been a part of the Nationalist Movement for some time now and am a metal bassist. I tend to keep the two separate, however, because most White Nationalist music is simplistic and hate-filled and I'm more of a Fates Warning, Queensryche and Dream Theater fanboy. Moreover, I've lost a lot of faith in the WN movement because of loose cannons like this.
There hasn't been a pan-Indian Royal Family since 1857, when the Mughal Emperor was deposed and exiled to Burma, and his sons killed by the British (not Sikhs).
