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.

For the extremists who believe my father is a hero

I feel sorry for the family of the lunatic, but c'mon, who exactly thinks he is a hero? I haven't heard anyone, left or right, make that claim.

I don’t think its against the rules to just post his whole statement is it? or is it an ABC News exclusive?

Gee, all last week the MSM played audio (a small clip), of I love my father (to scare folks into the next generation of extremists); Now that it’s known he hated Bush, Mc, Fox, had some issues with Christians, sounded socialist, and other picadillos seen on the left, it’s this. Interesting.

Is there by chance a son of the muslim that shot and killed our soldier?

The world would be a better place, if only they were capable of feeling shame.

Good question. Didn’t want to risk it. Probably should’ve searched for a different source.

Anyone using the phrase “bullying” is a hopeless sellout to the weak/loser/flamer left.

Why is it that these lunatics can’t channel their obsessive dillusions into something constructive?

If they did, they wouldn't be lunatics?

The left badly wants this shooter to be perceived as a “right wing” extremist, and they’re devising schemes because they are aware he was in fact leftist himself.

Funny how this guy refers to a particular “cause” without saying what cause he’s talking about.

Anybody know what the shooter used? I have feeling it was a .22 bolt action because the media hasn’t had convulsive orgasms using the words semiautomatic or assault weapon.

I think this is an intelligent and decent statement from this man, and I’m not sure why there are negative comments about it on this thread.

As for who thinks he is a hero, I am sure the skinhead types do.

The neo-Nazis and white supremacists think he’s a hero.

All I’ve read is a “Early 20th-century, small-caliber rifle”

I haven’t heard anyone say he is a hero, either. I find this statement very moving — must have been so difficult for his family.

This report says it was a .22. But you know how reliable the media is when it comes to getting the facts right about guns.

Sounds exactly like isLAME! Too weak to stand on it's own.

He sounds like he was a pathetic nut job who wasn’t much of an American and decided to commit “suicide by cop” as a final capping stone to a worthless life.

Sounds like his family was a lot more American than he was.

A lot of his statements on Bullying could be better directed towards the Left. Far from being a ‘Right Wing’ phenomena, the tactics of these groups resemble more those on the Left.

Our new overseers are very good at pushing their Agenda and shoving opposition out of the way with threats and Media control.

Exactly...The statement should be more than sufficient to appease anyone...This family did not support their father's racist ideas and lifestyle...They suffered for it...

Now they are suffering for the final act of his life thru no fault of their own...Sounds full of remorse and sorrow for the victim's family...

Nothing more they can do...
