Statement by Erik von Brunn Son of Accused Holocaust Museum Shooter
ABCNews ^ | 6/12/09

Posted on 06/13/2009 2:41:24 PM PDT by LibWhacker

My father's beliefs have been a constant source of verbal and mental abuse my family has had to suffer with for many years. His views consumed him, and in doing so, not only destroyed his life, but destroyed our family and ruined our lives as well.

***snip***

For the extremists who believe my father is a hero: it is imperative you understand what he did was an act of cowardice. To physically force your beliefs onto others with violence is not brave, but bullying. Doing so only serves to prove how weak those beliefs are.

I have. “Race Warriors” everywhere are exalting this chump as a hero.

I agree. Clearly the son has the moral compass to distance himself from his father’s vile, extremist views.

“His actions have undermined your “movement,” and strengthened the resistance against your cause.”

And whose ‘movement’ might that be?

Take Hitler. I’ve always said that if he had channeled his power and energy into doing good, he would be the greatest man in history other than Jesus Christ himself. But he chose the Satanic route instead.

i read “An agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said Mr. von Brunn used an antique .22-caliber Winchester rifle.”

I'm sure there are some, somewhere....

I don't know anything else about Eric Von Brunn than what he has written here but he clearly has some very admirable traits in his character, undoubtedly gained from his mother.

His father is a butt-crumb of a human barely worth the cost of execution.

"...Early 20th-century, small-caliber rifle..."

Well, just goes to show, "all we need are some common sense, "Early 20th-century, small-caliber rifle” laws"!

It is empowering, however, to know our country's resistance and intolerance for such acts of hatred has been bolstered in the face of this tragedy.

Oh bull s--t. Those who thought he was right to do this, will continue to do so. Those like us here who thought it was astoundingly stupid and objectionable, will continue to believe that too.

So what has been bolstered, the number of groups the left can smear with this psychotic man's actions? Sadly, that's about it.

I agree. Extremists(like the Weather Underground) are bullies.

Everything about this incident is loathsome including the violence and murder carried out by this lunatic and the manner in which the violence and murder are being twisted and manipulated by the left to advance its obscene agenda.

In his own words, he claimed to be a Socialist. How he was registered, if at all, is up to speculation. But, more than likely, he voted Democrat.

No doubt, but direct evidence is the best ammunition.

Von Brunn was/is a lunatic. On the order of the Islamic kooks.

The media is whipping up on von Brunn, rightfully so, while basically ignoring the Islamic nutjob who shot two American soldiers in Arkansas...

The only maggots I know who view this murderer as a “hero” are the maggots in Obama’s MSM. He has given them something else to exploit and use to attack Americans who care about what is happening to their country.

How very sad it is for families of lunatic killers. I am just glad this man did not turn out to be like his father, and I hope he does not carry too much guilt as he does not deserve to.
