Well just when you thought it was safe to go back to visiting national monuments somebody breaks out the hardware and gets into a shootout.
In this case the alleged shooter is a guy named James W. Von Brunn ( you can check out his picture/photograph here .
He’s a reported white supremacist and somehow dude was able to sneak a rifile into the museum. I’ll bet if he was a black guy he wouldn’t have made it through the front door carrying an umbrella.
Anyhow, he supposedly shot a guard and then was shot. News is still sketchy but let’s hope no one was killed. Von Brunn being a decorated veteran of WWII is not the kind of person one would expect to do something this evil. His political views are extreme but he does have the right to freedom of expression however opening fire at a museum with youngin’s around is either evil and/or insanity to the second power.
This kind of behavior can’t be tolerated and such actions should not be heralded with glory. If indeed Von Brunn committed this heinous act he needs some form of attention to his mental faculties.
Thank goodness the guards at the museum were alert enough to stop him before things got worse.
We need to support our security forces in the U.S. from the school guard to the mall security guard to our law enforcement and military. No telling what other menaces lurk amongst us.
