[SteamWake]

Very sad news the guard has sinced passed away.

The gunman allegedly a 'White Supremicist'

An elderly gunman opened fire with a rifle inside the crowded U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum (http://topics.breitbart.com/U.S.+Holocaust+Memorial+Museum/) on Wednesday, gravely wounding a security guard before being shot. Authorities said they were investigating a white supremacist as the suspect. The assailant and his victim were both hospitalized, said Washington, D.C., Mayor Adrian Fenty, (http://topics.breitbart.com/Adrian+Fenty/) who added that the gunman was in critical condition.

In 1983, he was convicted of attempting to kidnap members of the Federal Reserve Board. (http://topics.breitbart.com/Federal+Reserve+Board/) He was arrested two years earlier outside the room where the board was meeting, carrying a revolver, knife and sawed-off shotgun. At the time, police said Von Brunn wanted to take the members hostage because of high interest rates (http://topics.breitbart.com/interest+rates/) and the nation's economic difficulties.


He has 'previous'....how come he was free to re-offend? :hmmm:

[Zachstar]

Is it just me or is that terrorism report seeming more and more true lately?

First a terrorist closes down an abortion clinic and now this?

[NealT]

It's news...50 years ago you would not even have heard about it...

Guess we just gotta get used to the news folks trying to get the ratings so they can make a buck or two...

Oh c'mon, the last abortion clinic shooting was in the '80's, and nazis are as likely to be pro-choice as not. Some trend you got going there Zach... :DL

[Letum]

Oh c'mon, the last abortion clinic shooting was in the '80's

Apart from the one this May.

Apart from the one this May.

That's the one I thought he was talking about. I was wrong about the 80's though. I meant to say the 90's.

[Letum]

Ah, did that close down the clinic?
I imagined he meant some kind of bombing or arson.

Well you know that'd be all over the news.

[Chad]

Heard about this while eating lunch, what a sad sick lunatic :nope:

[Schroeder]

I really wonder how such an a**hole can have firearms in the first place. Come on he has been arrested several times before.:nope:
On the other hand, no one said that those guns were legally acquired....

You ain't kidding. And even Fox News is feeling it too:


Fox News' Shepard Smith's pretty well known -- and oft praised -- for the way he can size up a news event and expose his own authentic concern without seeming mawkish or phony. And in the wake of today's shooting at the Holocaust Museum, Smith went on the air today to talk about the emails he's been receiving for "the past few months," and how they've been getting "more and more frightening."

SMITH: There are people now, who are way out there on a limb. And I think they're just out there on a limb with the email they send us. Because I read it, and they are out there. I mean, out there in a scary place...I could read a hundred of them like this...I mean from today. People who are so amped up and so angry for reasons that are absolutely wrong, ridiculous, preposterous."

He went on to read an email, filled with the usual paranoid "birther" nonsense, which included an admonishment to Smith. "This is, I promise, a representative sample of the kind of things that we get here," Smith said.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxvunbIWNyI

Well, von Brunn is probably going to die. According to CNN, he was shot in the head... and he has not regained consciousness yet. For an 88-year-old man, that's a severe thing.

If he doesn't die, then he'll be a vegetable at the very least.

So what is the problem?

Sorted then :yep:

No problem. Just an update.

Holding News Conference this morning.

That means 5 minutes of Officials introduceing each other and jockying around for credit and getting their faces in front of the camera. :haha:

[Onkel Neal]

You ain't kidding. And even Fox News is feeling it too:



Yeah, the e-mail he gets mirrors the majority of the Web. A lot of people are carrying anger they cannot deal with, so they take to the web to rant on the same topics over and over; look for ways to find fault with others, and patiently wait for opportunties to ridicule and verbally assault. Then occasionally one blows a gasket and takes a gun to a school or a knife on a subway car... :nope: If there's a solution, I don't know what it is.

[Tribesman]

Hold on.
Before he got shot he thought that evil jews and arabs run the world , white people are superior because they are white , Obama is the negro antichrist who is backed by Jewish financiers and muslim fundamentalists as part of their global conspiracy to conquer the world and bring down freedom loving america by taking away their guns and introducing sharia law....
It seems like he was one hell of a vegetable even before he got shot

No, he was nut before, a vegetable now. Two different things.

Let just say he was quite delusional before getting shot and now he is a vegetable

You've just described General Topics to a "tee" :haha:

Apparently this guy has been photographed with the leader of the BNP. Small world, eh?

Man charged in museum shooting expected to survive, feds say

http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/06/13/museum.shooting.suspect/index.html

The man charged with killing a security officer at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum is expected to survive his subsequent shooting by other security officers, the FBI said in a statement released Saturday.

So he survives and Mr. Johns dies.

Where is the justice in the world. :nope:

[Jimbuna]

Let just say he was quite delusional before getting shot and now he is a vegetable

So the bugga survived :hmmm:

I wonder how that makes the family of the murdered security guard feel :nope:

Looks like he's going to need a vegatable name then.....Mr Potato Head :up:

[OneToughHerring]

The funny thing is, people might say that this shooter was crazy etc. but then they go and vote for the BNP or might espouse some of the same philosophy as the BNP or similar parties/political groups.
