... the other Black experience

I predicted a year ago that an Obama presidency would see a sharp increase in hate crimes. My prediction has been quite accurate, as 2009 is turning out to be the YEAR ov the ANGRY, DERANGED, WHITE CHRISTIAN MALE. In a long string ov shootings, there was the most recent murder ov Dr.George Tiller by a xtian anti-abortion terrorist.
NOW is this latest - a shooting at a Holocaust museum by a hard-core nazi white supremist.

Hate crime strikes Holocaust Museum
Guard killed in Holocaust Museum shooting
Guard in Holocaust Museum shooting dies
Witness: Security personnel ‘absolutely amazing’

WASHINGTON -

An 88-year-old gunman with a violent and virulently anti-Semitic past opened fire with a rifle inside the crowded U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum on Wednesday, fatally wounding a security guard before being shot himself by other officers, authorities said.

The assailant was hospitalized in critical condition, leaving behind a sprawling investigation by federal and local law enforcement and expressions of shock from the Israeli government and a prominent Muslim organization.


Washington Police Chief Cathy Lanier said the gunman was "engaged by security guards immediately after entering the door" with a rifle. "The second he stepped into the building he began firing."

Law enforcement officials said James W. von Brunn, a white supremacist, was under investigation in the shooting and that his car was found near the museum and tested for explosives. The weapon was a .22-caliber rifle, they added. They spoke on condition of anonymity, saying they were not authorized to discuss the investigation just beginning.

Museum officials identified the dead guard as Stephen T. Johns, a six-year veteran of the facility. In an e-mail, director Sara Bloomfield said he "died heroically in the line of duty."


Von Brunn has a racist, anti-Semitic Web site and wrote a book titled "Kill the Best Gentile."

In 1983, he was convicted of attempting to kidnap members of the 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 and the nation's economic difficulties.

The museum houses exhibits and records relating to the Holocaust more than a half century ago in which more than six million Jews were killed by the Nazis.



It is located across the street from the National Mall, and within sight of the Washington Monument. The museum, which draws about 1.7 million visitors each year, was closed for the day after the shooting, and nearby streets were cordoned off by police. Surrounding roads were closed at least temporarily and blocked off with yellow tape. Police cars and officers on horses surrounded the area.


Late last month, abortion provider Dr. George Tiller was shot to death in his church.

White House reacts
At the White House, just a few blocks away, press secretary Robert Gibbs said he informed President Barack Obama of the events and the chief executive was "obviously saddened by what has happened."

Only last week, Obama visited the site of a German concentration camp at Buchenwald in Germany where he noted, "There are those who insist the Holocaust never happened." He added, "This place is the ultimate rebuke to such thoughts, a reminder of our duty to confront those who would tell lies about our history."



Witness: 'Is he going to shoot all of us?'
An eyewitness to the shooting tells MSNBC's Contessa Brewer that his group feared for their lives.



The museum normally has a heavy security presence with guards positioned both inside and outside. All visitors are required to pass through metal detectors at the entrance, and bags are screened.

Linda Elston, who was visiting the museum from Nevada City, Calif., said she was on the lower level of the museum watching a film when she and others were told to evacuate.

"It was totally full of people," Elston said. "It took us a while to get out."

She said she didn't hear any shots and didn't immediately know why there was an evacuation. The experience left her feeling "a little anxious," she said.

Thousands inside museum
A museum official said a couple of thousand people were inside the facility when the shooting broke out, just before 1 p.m. ET.

Isn't it weird how the Jews have a museum for "the holocaust" in DC but we have no museum for slavery in DC? Especially so when you consider the fact that "the holocaust" happened five thousand miles away and slavery happened...in the U.S. of A.?

At any rate, condolences to the security guard's family.

There's hundreds of momuments to "The Holocaust" all over the WORLD. Hell, they even milked themselves a country out of the deal. A fucking country! We don't even have a ONE significant museum to slavery, which lasted for hundreds of years, in the capital city of the nation where it took place! Threadjack over :)
That's probably because jewish folks organized and paid for it with their own money.

Didn't Bill Cosby call for every black person to donate $9 for a black holocaust museum?

The website is down , and the only thing I was able to find on google was that as of 2008, they're still in the process of raising the 200 million.

It's sad because this "the holocaust" museum isn't very interesting.
Stephen Tyrone Jones.

anyway, yah Damos--that homeland security memo that was supressed because republicans got offended is hilarious(ly sad).
And check out this white piece ov shit Glenn Beck.

DailyKos sez Van Brunn had his gun illegally. LMFAO. Gun control to protect us from white radicals! (what a flip, since gun control as y'all know was meant to keep guns out of black hands).

lmfao! white supremacists (OH i mean 9/11th truthers! not mostly a white supremacist) and mexicans and militant muslims are all working together? FOX news and right wing culture warrior assholes are feeding to their frenzy... the only guy speaking out about is sadly, again, Shep Smith.


Media matters chronicles the right wing pundit freak out over that Homeland Security report on right-wing extremists
Donny Deutsch asks Ann Coulter what does America look like if Coulter gets his way (and jews need to be perfected)


The great white menace... ? White ppl like Coulter, Limbaugh, and so on... and the step-n-fetch POC apologists (e.g. Michael Steele).
Oh yeah, i heard that soundbyte ov Steele stickin' up for the po' White man. What a misrable piece ov shit HE is!

And yeah, the fucking cops would do shit about any ov this! Apparently, this misrable Von Brunn fuck had been on many people's radar for some time. For fucks' sake, he had no goddamned business having a gun to begin with! Not after the 6 yrs he did for attempted kidnapping back in the early 1980's!!!

You have to understand, this shit pisses me the fuck off; to hear about guys like Brunn & Scott Roeder sending out all kinds ov red flags FOR YEARS & law enforcement doesn't do shit about them! We've got all ov the WHITE, NAZI, CHRISTIAN, TERRORIST groups that are planning all ov this shit & NOTHING gets done about it! Why?
B/c the police are too fucking busy stopping Black people for driving. For walking at night. For being out in fucking public!

Shiiiiit, the FBI is probably more likely to survell this board here, than the Storm Front site!
