FBI Finds Child Porn on Museum Shooter's Computer

Share

(Newser) – Police discovered child pornography on a computer during a search of the home of suspected Holocaust Museum gunman James von Brunn, the Washington Post reports. FBI agents would not detail the amount or type of material discovered in the 88-year-old's Annapolis apartment. They also found a rifle, a handwritten will, and what seems to be a painting of Hitler and Jesus.

In von Brunn’s car, police found ammunition for the rifle allegedly used in the attack, which left a security guard dead. Also found were business cards for his white supremacist website and a handwritten note with his signature. The note reads: “The Holocaust is a lie. Obama was created by the Jews.” Von Brunn is still in the hospital recovering from gunshot wounds.

Hitler wanted control weather you wanted it or not. Jesus wants you to give him your life willingly or not at all. That is the difference.

One was a real person (Hitler) who tried to exercise his control. The other (Jesus) was made up by the church to exercise their control. Subtle difference, at best.
