HOLOCAUST MUSUEM SHOOTER IS WHITE SUPREMACIST.

James_von_Brunn.jpgAccording to NBC, the man who shot a security guard and potentially one to two other people at the Holocaust Museum today is 89-year-old James W. Von Brunn. Von Brunn maintains a white-supremacist Web site, HolyWesternEmpire.org. The biography of Von Brunn on the site states that he spent over six years in federal prison for attempting to "place the treasonous Federal Reserve Board of Governors under legal, non-violent, citizens arrest." A World War II veteran and resident of Maryland, Von Brunn is the author of a pamphlet entitled "Kill the Best Gentiles: A new, hard-hitting exposé of the JEW CONSPIRACY to destroy the White gene-pool." He is a Holocaust denier who has written that "Hilter's worse mistake" was that "he didn't gas the Jews."

More soon...

Along with Dr. Tiller's murder, this is a reminder, as our own Michelle Goldberg has written, that the Department of Homeland Security was absolutely right to compile its report on homegrown extremism.

Here is Von Brunn's biography, from his own Web site:

James W. von Brunn holds a BachSci Journalism degree from a mid-Western university where he was president of SAE and played varsity football.

During WWII he served as PT-Boat captain, Lt. USNR, receiving a Commendation and four battle stars. For twenty years he was an advertising executive and film-producer in New York City. He is a member of Mensa, the high-IQ society.

In 1981 Von Brunn attempted to place the treasonous Federal Reserve Board of Governors under legal, non-violent, citizens arrest. He was tried in a Washington, D.C. Superior Court; convicted by a Negro jury, Jew/Negro attorneys, and sentenced to prison for eleven years by a Jew judge. A Jew/Negro/White Court of Appeals denied his appeal. He served 6.5 years in federal prison. (Read about von Brunn's "Federal Reserve Caper" HERE.) He is now an artist and author and lives on Maryland's Eastern Shore.

Update: At TPM, Brian Beutler and Zack Roth report that Von Brunn's 1981 "non-violent" attack on the Fed was anything but: He "pulled out a sawed-off shotgun at the Federal Reserve Board headquarters, claiming to have planted a bomb and threatening to take members of the Board hostage."

COMMENTS

These white supremist groups should be rounded up and deported for domestic terrorism acts. Just as the anti-abortion gun owners who are killing doctors the fringe groups require justice against their hating, this man should be executed.

Executing this turd will only help bolster his ridiculous efforts to feel martyred - let him rot in solitary!

I'll have to hurry home this evening to watch Pat Buchanan on MSNBC, deploring Von Brunn's actions but expressing a certain, uh, understanding of the man's supposed "frustrations."

Why do a lot of these extremist whack-jobs promote themselves as members of the Mensa society? Are they? Or are they just deluded losers? Anyway, let this Nazi rot in prison (what is he, 89?) for the last few miserable years of his life.

I too can't wait to hurry home and watch Olbermann villify "right wing tea party attendees" all the while telling his 100 viewers that "we really need to understand groups like ELF, ALF, RCALB, etc really aren't terrorists, they are just trying to save the planet.

By the way. even though he's a convicted felon, thanks to the GOP and the gun loons, he could have waltzed into any gun show in Virginia (or 37 other states) and bought a gun without a background check...

He'd have felt right at home there too....

These racial bastards need to be put in jail and and rot. They just dont reliaze that the holocust ended.Stop all this hatred America! Open ur heart and communicate with people of all cultures. We are not in the 1930's... James is a bastard that will rot in hell for doing what he did.... I dont wish no one death but god shall decide.

ELF, ALF, RCALB?

Killed who? Where? When?

(crickets)

Yup.

Nobody...

Hard on structures, I agree...

"Phreedom"? waddafuukin maroon!

Phreedom, when did Olbermann say anything remotely like that? Ever?

The media is fomenting at the mouth about the political beliefs of this nutjob, which is being broadcast load and clear from every liberal pontificator that exists. Meanwhile, the public hears so little about the Islamic fanatic who murdered an Army recruiter 9 days ago. After 9 days, there are only 2,600 news stories on Google about the Army recruiter murder by the Islamic fanatic. After less than 24 hours, there are over 3,000 news stories about the white supremacist shooting. But is the media biased to the left? Of course not!

Why isn't carlos bledsoe on your list of domestic terrorists, Dana?

Job well done. The negroes need to go. Re: the previous comment, the baby killer leftists should be rounded up and shot. This is a government that forsakes the Constitution, and that waged an illegal and evil war against the South that had every right to secede. The Fed is also illegal.

This guy sounds pretty stupid; how did he get accepted into Mensa?

He shoulb be given a medal
!! A true American HERO

How many more Gentiles must die to protect the Jews? The name of Stephen T. Johns must now be added to the list of the hundreds of thousands of Gentiles who have died for Israel and the American Jewish community in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, Lebanon, etc etc etc.
