Hopefully nobody lost their life...truly some sick people out there!

Edit: Shooter confirmed to be James Von Brunn..who claimed to be a member of a white supremacy group and is a mensa member. Also a world war 2 veteran thought to be in his LATE 80's..wow

A MENSA member who's a white supremicist...Somehow that don't sound right to me.

Anyways I hope those who were shot are ok.

I hope they are okay. You can't go anyway.

Re: At least 2 shot at Holocaust Museum

What is really messed up was he attacked a federal building over 30 years ago and ONLY got 6 years in prison.

But let a person get arrested with 3 $20 bags of rock cocaine or an ounce of weed and they get an automatic 15 to 20 years in most states now.

I also thought it was funny how people on Foxnews tried their best to play it off and say how do they know he is a white supremacist leader ? HELLO Foxnews, his literature is all over the internet.

There have been numerous revisions to the law in the last 26 years.

But let a person get arrested with 3 $20 bags of rock cocaine or an ounce of weed and they get an automatic 15 to 20 years in most states now.

An ounce of weed isn't more than a year maximum in any state.

The federal crack laws are 5 grams=5 years. 1.7g of hard isn't $20. 5 grams is $350-600 worth.

You can be smart and still have completely illogical views on other subjects.

Read our NBA or NCAA boards and see college educated people argue over the most nonsensical stuff in the world.

And I heard the security guard died.

Re: At least 2 shot at Holocaust Museum

Something like this really sucks. Leave it to the racist to shoot a guard in the back. You know, it's situations like this the TOS should be suspended so I can go on an F-word rant

Re: At least 2 shot at Holocaust Museum

I read that the guard opened the door to help the man get into the building, who then shot him. Sad story, shows you cant trust anyone.

I hate to disrupt your narrative, but the shooter actually hated Fox News and was looking to commit crimes against Rupert Murdoch and the Weekly Standard as well.

So yeah, turns out the horribly evil Fox News wasn't "protecting their own" or anything on this one.

No, but this is why I don't take the media seriously. Half the time, they ARE trying to cover their own butts or spin a story to make it fit their agenda. That goes for the liberal and conservative wings of the media. There is no objectivity anymore whatsoever and it's a shame. The media's job should be to report the facts, no more, no less. Let the people draw their own conclusions and form their own opinions.

Re: At least 2 shot at Holocaust Museum

I saw something that this guy was going to go kill the guy who heads up the conservative think-tank, the Heritage Foundation, as well, because it's headed up by a Jewish guy.

What a nutjob this guy was...

EDIT: Apparently, he was a 9/11 truther, as well.
