Tragedy at the Holocaust Museum......And the Consequences of Hatemongering....

I am posting thoughts about the Shooting at the Holocaust Museum...and keeping an open thread here.....I was out with son - working on dental work..and came home and heard about it, and was struck that on so many levels that many of us have been worrying about this, because of the all the Right Wing Hatemongering....... so tragic....will post more about the guard when I learn more ( maybe a fund set up for his family etc..)...you can click the title to learn about the Killer and the events.....
(1) Killer had/has White Supremacy ties and yes indeed is a Holocaust Denier...and there are websites reporting he had spent time in Idaho,even though he lived in Easton ( a small town outside Annapolis).
(2) He apparently is not happy with the "Browning of America", and is another of those questioning "Obama's Birth", and yes, he has an angry website....
(3) I hope considering that he has a Previous record and such a website that he was being monitored by the FBI, and that Southern Poverty Law Center was monitoring ? ( Click the title to read about his previous record regarding his Federal Crime).
(4) I question how he got a gun ? and WHO drove him there ?
(5) Sadly tonight was supposed to be about the opening of a play about Anne Frank meeting Emmett Tillman that was about Hate, and finding the good in people...

Heard a Southern Poverty Law Center person say this man was kind of a has been hate monger, 88 years old , probably trying to do a last radical act before his death. The shooter is in critical condition & may not live to face trial.

Just so sad he was compelled to bring violence to a place designed to promote tolerance.
