Shooting suspect's history of seething anger
by DEVLIN BARRETT and CALVIN WOODWARD
Associated Press Writers

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A frustrated artist and an angry man, the suspect in the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum shooting once tried to kidnap members of the Federal Reserve board, a "caper" thwarted when a guard captured him outside a board meeting carrying a bag stuffed with weapons. James Von Brunn, 88, a white supremacist and Holocaust denier, describes the assault with apparent pride on his Web site, the source of fulmination against Jews and races other than his own.

Von Brunn was sentenced in 1983 to more than four years in prison for attempted armed kidnapping and other charges in his Fed assault. He was released in 1989.

"The subject resides in my memory like old road-kill," he wrote. "What could have been a slam-bang victory turned into ignoble failure. Recalling all of this presents an onerous task. I am getting near the end of the diving board."

Despite the revolver, sawed-off shotgun and knife found in his bag that day, Von Brunn insisted he was trying to place the board under "legal, non-violent citizens-arrest."

A self-described artist, advertising man and author living in Annapolis, Md., Von Brunn wrote an anti-Semitic treatise, "Kill the Best Gentiles," that he said no one would publish. He decries "the browning of America" and claims to expose a Jewish conspiracy "to destroy the White gene-pool."

Remember the wails of indignation over that Dept of Homeland Security report warning of violence by domestic right wing extremist groups a few months back?

nope, I don't remember the indignation. I don't know any conservatives that are ever happy about this kind of violence or even give it any support.

This shooting was carried out by one man, yes? I saw nothing about him being a member of any group, yes? This is the liberal equivalent to the Bush's raising the threat level to orange for personal political gain. Nice job V, you are just like Bush.

von Brunn's sentiments are rather popular among the lunatic fringe but rarely do they turn into action like this.

I bet the numbers of murders committed by black racists against whites far outnumber those committed by white racist, but tilt and violin don't see a problem with that. Its just whitey getting his comeuppance.

I don't care to look at a score card, but I believe you have it completely ass-backwards, home boy.

I would hazard a guess that there have been more blacks murdered by whites in some single southern states alone than whites murdered by blacks in any two states.............unless of course you don't consider lynching and mob violence to be murder.

We are talking about today, not decades ago. So I guess I should add marko to the "this is just whiteys comeuppance" list.

"We are talking about today, not decades ago."

Oh.................you were just talking about racist murders yesterday and nothing else counts.

There is no statute of limitations on murder so I guess I was correct.

James Von Brunn, 88, a white supremacist and Holocaust denier

An 88 year old 88. Coincidence?

And, I'll post this again, since it's hilarious that Tilt and Violin are implying hatred of jews is unique to "right wing extremists", when Obama's own beloved church is full of anti-jew hatred:

Rev. Wright Says 'Them Jews' Won't Let Obama Talk to Him\

This was a news story from yesterday.

So you feel that whites are superior to blacks and are compelled to defend your race against imagined attacks?

Interesting thought process.

I think it's important to note that while hyway is correct that cross-racial crime IS skewed, most violent crime occurs between members of the same race:

In 1992, in 73% of the violent crimes against whites, the offender was also white; in 84% of violent crimes against blacks, the offender was black. - usdoj, 1992

(also note how violin studiously ignored the proof of racist bigotry in his own camp )

He sounds like the guy who lived just a stone's-throw outside Washington about 25 years ago.

This kook had weapons and ammunition and explosives(old, sweating dynamite) in his basement in preparation for the "coming race war".
