Hate messages found in museum suspect’s car

Can’t say that I am surprised by this. It is just too bad that such a mean old man has had such a long life. One of those weird quirks, when so many good die young and we are left with people like this guy.

WASHINGTON (CNN) — A handwritten message in a notebook found in the car of the man accused of fatally shooting a Holocaust museum security guard boasted, “You want my weapons — this is how you’ll get them,” an FBI criminal complaint says.
The purpose of the complaint is to establish probable cause for bringing charges against white supremacist James von Brunn, 88, in the shooting death Wednesday of a security guard at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Von Brunn will be charged with a federal count of murder and, if convicted, could face the death penalty, acting U.S. Attorney Channing Phillips said.

The suspect also faces a charge of killing while in possession of a firearm in a federal facility, said Cathy Lanier, chief of the District of Columbia’s Metropolitan Police Department.

Von Brunn remained hospitalized in critical condition Thursday from shots fired by other security guards. The complaint says he was shot in the face and fell backward outside the museum’s front door.

Stephen Tyrone Johns, the security guard who was shot to death, had opened the door for the gunman, who then raised a rifle and killed him, authorities told reporters Thursday.
