Re: Guard at Holocaust Museum Killed by Alleged White Supremacist
Very sad indeed. I suspect this sort of violence is only going to get worse.

Re: Guard at Holocaust Museum Killed by Alleged White Supremacist
I can't believe it! I mean this dude just walked through the front door with an assault rifle? Freakin Insane!
Kudos to the Security guards! They put themselves between the patrons and this crazy piece of shit! They saved the lives of dozens of people by doing what they did. Unfortunately, one of them died, but he saved the lives of many more. RIP Officer Johns.

The gunman was almost 90 years old. That's crazy. Demented old bastard. RIP to brave guard who lost his life. What a horrible tragedy.

Re: Guard at Holocaust Museum Killed by Alleged White Supremacist
Sad that the security guard lost his life, but the whole thing is weird in both the venue and timing of the shooting, not to mention the shooter was an old man who just walked up with an assault rifle.

Re: Guard at Holocaust Museum Killed by Alleged White Supremacist
The guy who did this was a complete loon. Consumed by hate.
In 1981, he attempted to kidnap the Federal Reserve board (yes, you read that right). He spent six years in prison for that: "In December 1981, he walked into the Federal Reserve Board's Washington headquarters with weapons and a plan to confront the bank's governors, according to news accounts. ... Carrying a revolver, a hunting knife and a sawed-off shotgun in a satchel, von Brunn raced past a guard to the second floor, where the board was meeting. He pulled the shotgun on another guard in the corridor leading to the boardroom. ... The guard called for help, and von Brunn was overpowered before anyone got hurt.

Re: Guard at Holocaust Museum Killed by Alleged White Supremacist
The few times I've been to that museum I remember security being pretty tight. How did this nutjob get in with a gun?

I think they do have metal detectors, I could be wrong though.
