While most reasonable people accept that over 6,000,000 Jews were exterminated by the Nazi's during WWII, there are some that attempt to rewrite history to reflect their own twisted views, to include that Jews are the ruination of society, they somehow deserved to be slaughtered by the millions, and that Hitler and his murderous minions were somehow justified in their actions, although many who subscribe to such a belief system reject the idea that so many Jews were actually victims of Nazi atrocities.

James W. von Brunn, age 88, was one of these twisted believers, a mentally challenged man whose dark mind had been filled with hatred and lies for decades. His former wife of 10 years reportedly describes him to be an abusive alcoholic whose hatred against blacks and Jews ate him up like a cancer. That emotional cancer once again metastasized for Brunn when he entered the Holocaust Museum today (6/10/09) at about 1:00 PM armed with a .22 rifle. von Brunn immediately saw and shot to death an armed security guard; identified as Special Police Officer Stephen T. Johns, age 39, a six-year veteran of that security force.

...

His personal accounts tend to blame blacks and Jews for his problems in life and rambled on that America would eventually be governed by blacks with the Jews controlling the media; calamities that he obviously believed had come to fruition. His family had reportedly "disowned" him years ago because of his racial hatred, with most family members believing him to be mentally ill.

While the vast majority of Americans see the various hate groups in this country as the fringe of the fringe, i.e., budding sociopaths or losers who seek their identity through the hatred of others, there are those in law enforcement who know that the combination of hatred, frustration and weapons can easily spell murder.

...

For those who subscribe to a belief system like von Brunn's, they may believe themselves backed into a corner and, in some cases, then come out shooting. Though their numbers are relatively small, the twisted view of history that some preach, and the blame that they place on others can see their fractured ideas turned into action, and the targets of their anger and frustration turned into targets for their rifles and bombs. This as their numbers appear to be growing.
