[YOY]

1. Poor guard.

Sick fucking killer.

[jefferson_dem]

2. FUCK!

So sad...and i'm so furious.

RIP.

[KingFlorez]

3. I was hoping he'd make it

It's so disgusting that he died and that filth that shot him is still alive.

[vaberella]

10. I was hoping for the same. Dear God...I don't know what to say. n/t

[PretzelWarrior]

4. I hope the shooter lives

I want this dragged out in courts what a sick fuck he is and what kind of sick fucking groups he runs with.

[vaberella]

9. I want the same thing. And he looked like he would live from what I could see.

He was bloody but he was moving and his hands were up so there is a strong possibility he might live. Well I hope he does.

[mvd]

26. It appears he will survive

How senseless is that? I am spiritual and am confident the answers will be revealed when we die.

[PretzelWarrior]

30. well this will give the family an opportunity to face him

I am so saddened by the distortions of a person's mind and heart that they would kill an innocent like this.

7. Dear God..

[Rosa Luxemburg]

11. sickening

was this a far right group?

[vaberella]

12. It's not a group as of yet. Currently he's believed to be a lone gunman.

He has affiliation with right wing racist extremists groups. Apparently he was close friends of William Pierce and knew of Timothy McVay.

So, ummm, yeah. He's actually extremely well known by the FBI as an racist extremist. The Gunman's name is James W. von Brunn.

18. thanks

17. Update on the suspect's back-story, courtesy of CNN.com

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The suspect in Wednesday's shooting at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum is James von Brunn, an 88-year-old white supremacist from Maryland, two law enforcement officials told CNN.

The museum is near the National Mall and just a few blocks from the White House.

Von Brunn served six years in prison on federal attempted kidnapping, assault and firearms charges after what he called a citizen's "legal, nonviolent citizens arrest" of members of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors.

On his Web site, "Holy Western Empire," von Brunn said he was "convicted by a Negro jury, Jew/Negro attorneys, and sentenced to prison for eleven years by a Jew judge."

"He is in our files going back way into the 1980s," said Heidi Beirich, a researcher for the Montgomery, Alabama-based Southern Poverty Law Center.

"He has extremely long history with neo-Nazis and white supremacists. He's written extremely incendiary publications, raging about Jews, blacks and the like."

20. He's so angry and full of hate.

My mum always said that when people are old and crazy and realize they're going to die...they want to take some people along with them. The way it looks he might live and that poor young man has lost his life.

[SeaLyons]

13. being reported on MSNBC now...

:cry:

[vaberella]

14. Just heard it from Tamron...ugh! n/t

[SuperTrouper]

15. Yes, rest in peace

[SIMPLYB1980]

16. So sad.

:cry:

[AspenRose]

19. Senseless.

[kestrel91316]

21. You know, if angry people in the Chesapeake took up pitchforks and torches

and burned this fucker's house to the ground, I wouldn't shed a single damned tear.

[Midlodemocrat]

23. According to the MSM, he's 88 years old? How seriously fucked up is that?

Lived through WWII? and does something like this? What is wrong with people?

[vaberella]

27. It was more than living through it. He was supposedly in it. He was a decorated soldier.

And he fought Nazi Germany over this shit, but joined them and killed a young man and wanted to kill so many more and in particular Jews. I'm disgusted.

[Midlodemocrat]

29. That museum is a client of mine. I am heartsick over this.

I cannot imagine that level of hatred.

[kestrel91316]

36. He's probably been racist trash since his youth in the days of lynch mobs.

[Phx_Dem]

22. Jesus. I'm very sad, but I'm also angry.

God bless his soul.

[mvd]

24. Brave young man - my thoughts are with his family

Another victim of hatred.

[sarah553807]

25. RIP

Your bravery will be missed

[Beacool]

28. That's terrible.

May he rest in peace. My condolences to his family. Crazy world we live in.........

:(

[FrenchieCat]

31. Do you think Stephen Tyrone Johns was Black?

Just wondering.

[MadBadger]

33. He was

[PretzelWarrior]

34. based on the name, location (Washington DC) and job type....it is highly probable.

I would say it was this old fuck's wet dream. killing a black guy in a museum dedicated to preserving memory of Jewish Holocaust.

[vaberella]

35. He was Black, a relatively young Black man he looked like he was in his 30s. n/t

[rvablue]

32. Horrible...just horrible. A young man just going to work to pay the bills. So senseless...

Condolences to his family. :cry:


And that old man....so full of blind hate...he got to live his life. Poor Mr. Johns doesn't get to now...so unfair, so heartbreaking!

[jillan]

37. May he rest in peace - he saved alot of lives today.

:cry:

[vaberella]

38. kick. n/t

[RFKHumphreyObama]

39. My deepest and sincerest thoughts, prayers, condolences and sympathies

are extended to his family, friends, colleagues:cry:. This is a sad, sad, sad day for humanity

When I visited the United States six years ago, I went to the Holocaust Mueseum in DC and found it a very sad, haunting and moving place. I can't help wondering whether he was one of the guards I encountered while there.

My rage and anger at the sick, perverted monster who did this knows no bounds. At this moment, I can feel no compassion or sympathy for him.

[Milspec]

40. RIP Stephen Tyrone Johns.

White light to your family.

[Jennicut]

41. Just saw on CNN...the woman whose play about Anne Frank was to open tonight

said she saw him there all week and was visibly shaken and upset about his death.
Stephen Cohen, the Clinton administration defense secretary, was there at the time of the shooting as well.

My prayers go out to this young's family. A needless tragedy.

[ClarkUSA]

42. Very very sad. I hope his family are getting all the support they deserve.
