James von Brunn
"James von Brunn carried a lifetime of hatred and an aging rifle to the entrance of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, authorities say, and was met with a simple act of kindness: a security guard opening the door for him. Critically injured in a hospital bed Thursday, the 88-year-old white supremacist was charged with murdering Steven T. Johns, the black guard." AP
Summer 2009 and there are still Neo-Nazis? Its harrowing and terrifying that a hate this strong still exists. I remember visiting the Holocaust Museum with my 11th grade class. I was in tears throughout the tour. The piles of shoes, photographs, and the weathered cattle car left me speechless and frustrated that we let it happen at all. Crimes like von Brunn's are the perfect example that racism is unfortunately alive and well in the land of "the free".
