An elderly gunman opened fire inside the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum on Wednesday, wounding a security guard before two other guards returned fire. The assailant and his victim were both hospitalized.
The extent of the injuries was not immediately known, U.S. Park Police Sgt. David Schlosser said.
Nor did authorities immediately provide the name or any other biographical information about the assailant, who they said used a “long gun” in the shooting.
He’s an activist racist and anti-semite named James Von Brunn.
The episode unfolded inside the museum, which maintains a heavy security presence, with guards positioned inside and out. All visitors are required to pass through metal detectors at the entrance, and bags are screened.
It was not immediately known whether the gunman made it through the detectors before opening fire.
The museum, across the street from the National Mall, and within sight of the Washington Monument, was closed for the day after the shooting. Nearby streets were cordoned off by police.
In a statement, museum spokesman Andrew Hollinger said an assailant shot a museum security officer and “two museum security officers returned fire, hitting the assailant.”
This nutball believes in a “Negro and Jewish conspiracy” for every occasion.
#117-120 Thank you for bringing insight into this discussion. Clearly some unhinged folks here need to learn history as well as avail themselves of therapy
It’s amazing how the mind can twist information to fit their POV….
Mr. Fusion protests too much…I think he must be a self-loathing conservative.
All citizens must have equal rights and obligations.
The first obligation of every citizen must be to work both spiritually and physically. The activity of individuals is not to counteract the interests of the universality, but must have its result within the framework of the whole for the benefit of all. Consequently we demand:
Abolition of unearned incomes. Breaking of rent-slavery.
In consideration of the monstrous sacrifice in property and blood that each war demands of the people, personal enrichment through a war must be designated as a crime against the people. Therefore we demand the total confiscation of all war profits.
We demand the nationalisation of all (previous) associated industries.
We demand a division of profits of all heavy industries.
We demand an expansion on a large scale of old age welfare.
We demand the creation of a healthy middle class and its conservation, immediate communalization of the great warehouses and their being leased at low cost to small firms, the utmost consideration of all small firms in contracts with the State, county or municipality.
We demand a land reform suitable to our needs, provision of a law for the free expropriation of land for the purposes of public utility, abolition of taxes on land and prevention of all speculation in land.
We demand struggle without consideration against those whose activity is injurious to the general interest. Common national criminals,usurers, profiteers and so forth are to be punished by death, without consideration of confession or race.
We demand substitution of a German common law in place of the Roman Law serving a materialistic world-order.
The state is to be responsible for a fundamental reconstruction of our whole national education program, to enable every capable and industrious German to obtain higher education and subsequently introduction into leading positions. The plans of instruction of all educational institutions are to conform with the experiences of practical life. The comprehension of the concept of the State must be striven for by the school [Staatsbuergerkunde] as early as the beginning of understanding. We demand the education at the expense of the State of outstanding intellectually gifted children of poor parents without consideration of position or profession.
The State is to care for the elevating national health by protecting the mother and child, by outlawing child labor, by the encouragement of physical fitness, by means of the legal establishment of a gymnastic and sport obligation, by the utmost support of all organizations concerned with the physical instruction of the young.
We demand abolition of the mercenary troops and formation of a national army.
That was from the Nazi Party Platform. And of course it is just sick to think these are liberals or socialists in the National Socialist Party.

If you even bother to read the article you posted, nowhere in there is there any evidence of a racial crime. The police and prosecutor found no evidence that it was racially motivated. It was a home invasion. Period.
#123, Lyin’ Mike,
Got a link? You know, posting the web address of where you got that from?
I got it from your link.
>I know of no liberal who hates Jews. I know of many right wingers that do. And usually with a strong passion.
I didn’t quote the racial and anti-Jew parts of the platform, but perhaps I should have.

Democrats are significantly more likely to blame Jews for the financial crisis.

#128, Mike,
That survey you quoted has more holes in it than your head.
It makes the great leap from asking if Jews are responsible to making this an antisemitism rant. Anyone with more than a grade eight education knows that many top bankers are Jewish. So it is a given that some Jews were complicit in the financial meltdown. A clarifying question would been added to the survey asking the same question using the word “Christian” or “White Anglo-Saxons Protestetants” instead.
The most damaging aspect of the survey is by reading a paragraph to the respondent first. Depending upon the tone and emphasis used by the reader, it is guaranteed to bias to answer.
In Statistics, this is called a “Self Fulfilling Prophecy” and is the number one problem with bad surveys. But hey, it feeds the trolls that are looking for an excuse.
#129, Lyin’ Mike,
Again, what the hell is that??? Some right wing nut blog, espousing their views is worthy of a reference?

Do you have to have everything spelled for you, dumbo? Too hard to get to conclusion from evidence on your own, you have to have it served on your telly to understand?
FACTS:
Nothing is stolen from the crime site.
Victims are beaten and tortured for long time
Woman was repeatedly gang-raped
Both are murdered execution-style with shot in the head.
IF THIS CRIME HAD BEEN COMITTED BY 4 WHITE ANIMALS YOU’D BE YELLING “KKK”/”WHITE SUPREMACISTS” etc. IMMEDIATELY, WOULDN’T YOU?
If this was not “hate crime” then what was it, according to your leftie-moronic brain?
I guess the “white supremacist” who attacked Holocaust Memorial didn’t commit any “hate crime” either, he only wanted to point out lack of “non-kosher milk” in America, as someone said…

“It was a home invasion.Period”
You are dumb, too bad I realized it too late (should’ve just ignore moron like you).
But I’d give it a try, who knows, maybe you still have 1 or 2 active brain cells left…
Who would want to rob a newly wed marine soldier? Everyone knows they don’t even make as much as freaking janitors at public schools a year, and even if someone wouldn’t know that – for sure fellow marines know it since they are paid same sh*t by Uncle Sam.
If you’d use that last brain cell of yours at this moment, you’d understand that “home invasion” is same a bullshit as 2000 elections were.
Period.
Wow! Libs still running scared as it turned out this guys was anti-conservative & Bush hating Liberal.
