Elderly Gunman kills Guard at Holocaust Museum
By NAFEESA SYEED, Associated Press Writer Nafeesa Syeed, Associated Press Writer – 5 mins ago
WASHINGTON – An elderly gunman opened fire with a rifle inside the crowded U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum on Wednesday, killing a security guard before being shot. Authorities said they were investigating a white supremacist as the suspect. The assailant was hospitalized in critical condition, Washington, D.C., Mayor Adrian Fenty said.
D.C. 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."
One law enforcement official said James Von Brunn, 89, a white supremacist, was under investigation in the shooting, and a second official said the elderly man's car was found near the museum and tested for explosives. They spoke on condition of anonymity, saying they were not authorized to discuss the investigation just beginning.
Von Brunn has a racist, anti-Semitic Web site and wrote a book titled "Kill the Best Gentiles."
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

This reminds me of the Oswald hype, in only a couple of hours, they have all of the background on the suspect, scripted guest opinionists, and all parroting the same their puppet-master's newspeak buzz words.
yet....today....this is exposed by AJ:

The same talking points are flowing freely, CARBON COPIES of each other. Talking of "will officers be give the authority to now take action"
"Domestic terrorism"
"too much freedom"
I'm just pissed off big time today, I truly hope people don't buy this dribble but i know they do, its sad.

Yea, surprised they didn't bring up gun shows on Zion NN.

Plus this:
James Von Brunn Apparently Part Of Obama "Birther" Movement

Among the myriad of disturbing qualities of James Von Brunn, the 88-year-old man who shot and killed a security officer inside the Holocaust Museum on Wednesday, is his apparent belief that Barack Obama is not a citizen of the United States and therefore has no right to the presidency.
Black and Jew hating Holocaust Denying 911 Truther Obama Birth conspiracy theorist
Wow. He is being connected to every thing. I wonder if he was a no planner too ?

The new questions: Is homegrown terrorism more dangerous than Al-Q and foreign terrorists. Are we too tolerant of hate speech , does the 1st amendment apply today?
Get ready for this one this is a huge setup from the get up.

What you wanna bet he got his gun at a gun show ... watch me be right this is going to play out like a bad independent film.

God forbid a guard gets shot doing his Job WE MUST BAN ALL GUNS AND THOUGHT DETRIMENTAL OF THE NORM!
Ban everything!!
Guess what ... this guy went after the fed in 1981 ... Question: whats getting momentum in the house today ... O O right the audit the Fed bill, No coincidence though just random occurrence. A bill needs demonetization and the DHS reports needs legitimization. ALSO VON BRUNN WAS CONNECTED TO McVeigh !!!!!!!!
WTF this is a clear setup.
