Holocaust Museum shooting

[Alcatrazz]

Did you hear about this fucko who went to D.C. and shot up the Holocaust Museum? May he burn for a long time in the hottest precincts of hell. That's the kind of people we need to keep guns from! The loonies!

Yeah, the strange thing was I was actually suppose to go to that museum with my dad the day that happened but we decided not to go.

Good decision.

I haven't heard about this so I suppose I'll do a quick google search to learn more.

I wonder what kind of gun that stupid old timer used? It better not be a well known weapon, otherwise those anti gun freaks would say this is the weapon of choice for memorial shooters

He used a .22 rifle.

I think this sums up the even pretty well:

Authorities say the shooter, James von Brunn, was an avowed racist and anti-Semite well known to the pustular netherworld of white supremacy and to those who monitor it. He believed the Holocaust a hoax and America a "Third-World racial garbage dump." He believed this, even at 88 years of age. "It's time to kill all the Jews," he wrote in one e-mail. And can you imagine what might have happened had he managed to shoot his way past the guards?

Apparently he fatally wounded one security guard and was then quickly shot by other security guards. Good riddence to bad rubbish as they say.
