... Interruptions and inappropriate comments have become the norm as avowed anti-Semite and white supremacist F. Glenn Miller Jr., going against conventional wisdom, opted to represent himself in a capital murder trial that began here Monday ...

“I’m glad I didn’t kill you,” Miller told James Coombes, who testified about Miller shooting at him, putting a bullet hole in the leather satchel he wore slung across his body and four in his Honda Element.

Miller also told Maggie Hunker he was glad he hadn’t shot her as well. During her testimony, Hunker described watching LaManno beg for her life when Miller’s gun jammed. She said that after Miller shot LaManno, he asked Hunker if she was Jewish. When she replied no, he drove off.

“I thought you were a brave man,” he told Paul Temme, who had chased after Miller’s car at the Jewish Community Center to try to get the license plate number for police. Then Miller asked him, “Are you a homosexual?” ...

... Frazier Glenn Cross, 74, a former senior member of the Ku Klux Klan who is representing himself at trial, could be sentenced to death if convicted in the April 2014 shootings in Overland Park, Kansas, a suburb of Kansas City ...

Cross admitted to jurors on Friday that he killed a man, woman and teenage boy and tried to kill more people during a shooting spree on the eve of the Jewish Passover holiday. None of the victims were Jewish but Cross he did not know that at the time.

He said he believes Jews have committed genocide against white people, and control both the media and Wall Street to the detriment of white Americans.

“I had no criminal intent, I had a patriotic intent to stop genocide against my people,” said Cross, who is also known as Glenn Miller ...

... In questioning Hunker, Cross recounted their interaction in the parking lot and said he had asked her twice if she was a Jew. He did not hear her answer the first time but did the second time, he said.

"I let you live because of that," he said. "I am glad I didn't shoot you."

Later, with jurors out of the courtroom and just before adjourning Tuesday, Cross complained about prosecutors calling so many witnesses. "Everybody knows I did it. I don't deny it," he said ...

... Before resting their case, prosecutors played a recording of jail telephone call in October 2014 in which Cross can be heard saying he took a swig of whiskey in his car in celebration moments after the shootings. 

"I've never felt such exhilaration and overpowering joy," Cross said on the recorded call.

Cross told jurors he made the call. While it is not clear who Cross was calling, he said in court on Thursday that he knew and wanted the call to be recorded and to be made public. 

He says on the recording he was surprised non-Jews would be at the two centers but did not regret the killings ...

they would have labeled him terrorist and thrown away the key.

14. Yes of course, it had nothing to do with the fact that many, many people deny that there is any such

thing as antisemitism at all. Half of DU went insane at the very suggestion that any of the animosity hurled at Senator Sanders might be because he's Jewish 'that can not be, how dare you suggest, there is no such thing'.

DU has many Miller types.
