The shooter at the U.S. Holocaust Museum is being identified as James von Brunn, a well-known, 88-year-old white supremacist.
He has a strong Internet presence, if you can stomach it.
According to his Website, holywesternempire.org, he served as a PT-boat captain during WWII and was an ad exec and film producer in NYC for 20 years.
He boasts of writing “Kill the Best Gentiles,” which he describes as a “hard-hitting expose of the JEW CONSPIRACY to destroy the white-gene pool.”
The AP adds this: “In 1983, he was convicted of attempting to kidnap members of the Federal Reserve Board. He was arrested two years earlier outside the room where the board was meeting, carrying a revolver, knife and sawed-off shotgun. At the time, police said Von Brunn wanted to take the members hostage because of high interest rates and the nation’s economic difficulties.”
Rabbi Eric Yoffie, President of the Union for Reform Judaism, just issued this statement:
*****
That today’s shooting at the United States Holocaust Museum should take place at a site expressly created to teach the world about the destruction and devastation brought about by human evil deepens the resonance of this terrible act.
As we await further details of this afternoon’s attack, our prayers are with the victims and their families for a fast and full recovery. We also express our gratitude to the police officers and security guards who responded so swiftly to this incident.

Many similar statements will likely be made over the coming hours.
Coming so soon after four men were arrested for planning to bomb two Riverdale synagogues, this event is certain to raise old, old questions about the persistant nature of anti-Semitism.
I came across this post that a person who identified himself as James von Brunn write on a blog last year:
*****
Jesus Christs tells us to love our enemies, forgive them, turn the other cheek, give them our cloak and coat; give away our personal belongings and follow Him. Have you done this?
Do you know any alleged Christians that have ?
Nietzsche said, “The last Christian died on the cross.”
One cannot love your neighbors and segregate them. Therefore. Multi-cukturalism is a prerequisite to being Christian. It is for that reason the POPE advocates open borders with Mexico. The word CATHOLIC means “UNIVERSAL” The Churdh ALWAYS has sought a united World under CHRIST. The ILLUMINATI too seeks One World Government – which may be why Henry Kissinger, ZIONIST, visits the Vatican so frequently.

A lot of hatred for one person.
UPDATE: The Wash Post is reporting that the guard shot by von Brunn has died.
He is identified as Stephen Tyrone Johns, an African American who worked at the museum for six years.

The world of religion, we don't have to tell you, is vast. The purpose of this blog is for Stern to note, flag and comment on some of the more interesting religious developments on the scene – weighty and quirky, somber and laughable, far away and just down the road. He won't interpret Scripture, take sides in conflicts or judge anyone. But he will take advantage of the journalist's license to observe.
