U.S.: Son of Holocaust Memorial shooter: He ruined our lives

U.S.: A sample of the crazy opinions spouted by James von Brunn

  • The Holocaust is a lie. Obama was created by Jews. Obama does what Jew owners tell him to do. Jews captured America’s money. Jews control the mass media. The 1st Amendment is abrogated – henceforth.
  • James von Brunn • In a set of writings obtained by the FBI. Von Brunn, the dude who shot up the Holocaust Museum, apparently had a long history of things like this. One time, he threatened the owner of an art gallery with a gun for not selling his paintings. And his marriage crumbled in part because of his racist leanings. (His Web site, “Holy Western Empire,” is down, by the way.) • source
