88 yr old Nazi shoots up Holocaust Museum and kills guard

Lou Dobbs hit the nail on the head tonight when he stated that this story joins many other related stories in a compacted amount of time, and that we need to be more alert to domestic terror acts like this.

Today 88 yr old James Von Brunn, a self-proclaimed Neo-Nazi and white supremacist, took a rifle into the Holocaust museum and shot and killed a security guard Stephen Johns, before he was shot himself by responding officers. HOW DID A MAN ALMOST 90 YEARS OLD WALK CASUALLY DOWN THE NATIONAL MALL AND INTO THE HOLOCAUST MUSEUM ALL WHILE CARRYING A HIGH-POWERED RILE WITHOUT ANYBODY NOTICING??!! We as Americans have become so self-absorbed and have a tunnel vision SO powerful that we fail to notice important things like an old man carrying a rifle in a public place!

Wake up folks, we have to look out for one another, WE are OUR best defense. Don't wait for homeland-security to put a certain color on it, lookout for danger on a daily basis or at least don't act so surprised when something happens.

Let us all say a prayer for Mr. Stephen Tyrone Johns who was brave enough to attempt to stop this psychotic terrorist. It is because of people like Mr. Johns that no one else was injured today.

Another Police Attack and Out Of Order Officers

So by now everyone with a TV has seen this video of this cop tasering a 72yr old great-grandmother for becoming "violent" with him. There's two things wrong with this. Number one is that this cop chose to disregard his training and used a seriously dangerous weapon on an elderly lady. I have personally, unfortunately, been restrained by police on several occasions, on one of which I was inebriated and uncooperative and had to be restrained by several officers. I was NEVER tasered or even threatened with pepper spray. I am 6' 3" 165lbs and I consider myself strong. On ALL the occasions on which I was restrained, the officers used their body weight and extensive knowledge of pressure points to subdue me with little physical force. The cop in question shoves the elderly woman and then tasers her and the only thing she does to him is swear at him and put him in his place. The second main thing wrong with this situation is that this wussy cop has basically made it known that he is weaker than a 72 YEAR OLD GREAT GRANDMA!!
This cop gets pissed because the old lady does sass the cop and swears at him, insulting his pride. The cop then gets verbally abusive, screaming at the woman and shoving her unprovoked. Then he pulls his taser gun and with the warning barely from his mouth, and the lady standing still, he shoots the old woman with the taser and she falls to the ground screaming in pain. It seems that an overwhelming number of police and law enforcement officers feel above the law and feel they may act however the please. We've all begun to see more and more cops excessively speeding without reason and without emergency lights. I personally watched a cop in Ruckersville, VA turn his lights and siren on at a red light, run the red light making an illegal u-turn, and then cut off his lights and siren and pulled into Sheetz and came in to buy a sandwich. Then there is this re-occurrence of police initiated violence towards suspects, often resulting in lawsuits. These officers have forgotten their job is to protect those people that pay they're checks, the tax-paying public. They instead uphold a mythical "Law" which applies to everyone but them, and to which they clutch so tightly that they refuse to use the discretion afforded to them by their job description. As the tax-paying public we need to speak up and tell our lawmaking representatives that we want someone policing the police, thus enacting the same checks and balances system in place throughout our government, and supporting those law enforcement officers who don't live up to this increasingly growing stereotype, because it is they have been silently screaming inside for someone to correct these out-of-order officers and their behavior. If we continue to be bullied by the same people who swear an oath to serve us, then we will continue to fall victim to their behavior, their consequences, and their cover-ups. Let me clarify my position. I am not disrespecting law enforcement or their job to uphold the laws we make. I applaud good, honest, people who work as law enforcement offiicers, and I know their job is a very dangerous job filled often with the worst people in society. I fully support officers who live by and enforce the law. I have never supported lawlessness or anarchy in any way, my quarrel is only with the fact that no one enforces the law on the enforcers. This is not true for major/violent crimes, though it has happened, but on a day to day a lot of officers seem to act with total disregard to the laws to which they ticket and jail people for everyday. This hypocratic conduct will only worsen as society grows and the number of men and women employed by law enforcement grows as well. Without a better form of regulation of law enforcement, the public will lose more and more freedoms, and the conduct may be called to question in court resulting in an acquital of a guilty person. Support law-abiding law enforcement officers in your area, and report those that conduct themselves otherwise. Long Live America...Long Live Freedom

Off The Grid

Little Girl Still Missing After 24 years!

So I was watching CNN Headline News, and they featured a lengthy story about a woman who's daughter was abducted from the bus-stop in front of her home 24 years ago, and has never been found. The woman, Janice McKinney has convinced the makers of the hit show 'Cold Case' to incorporate the story about her daughter's disappearance twenty four years ago into an upcoming episode of the show. The news stations have begun to air the story and the TV show affiliation, and Janice McKinney has done countless interviews with news groups petitioning them to re-air her story.

The story (linked here) basically said: The girl, then 8 year old, third grader Cherrie McKinney disappeared after she got off the school bus with several other neighborhood kids only 100 yards downhill from her home at 4 o'clock in the Winfield Township of western Pennsylvania. The police and detectives worked the case for years and spent thousands of man hours looking for any sign of the young girl. It is reported that her case file totals somewhere above 4,000 pages! Nothing was ever found and no suspects were ever charged, leaving the case titled as a kidnapping and not a homicide, because a body was never found.

I think this woman is selfishly wasting public time and energy. I feel so sorry for her and her family. I will never know the immense pain of having a missing child, but my prayers go out to these poor souls. But after twenty four years she needs to let go and move on, and let the news,the police, and the public spend their time looking for recently abducted children, of which there are too many. The public can only look for what they know, so the headlines of news are priceless for public information. According to the Center for Missing and Exploited Children, 2,185 children are reported missing every day in the United States. There have been several headline cases this year alone of children of the same age being abducted, and some of their bodies have been found months later in remote locations and other hiding places. Just because this girl's body was never found does not mean she is still alive. I know it is painful and sad to think that this poor little girl died a horrific death, but it is the realistic thing to assume. By allowing the public forum to be crowded with far fetched hopes of finding long lost children, or solving old cold cases, we are taking away from the time we should be using to find currently missing children, or solving new fresh cases. It is a sad realism to come to, it really is, but it is realistic to think that. SO...they need to stop giving this woman attention, and thus false hope, and start looking at new cases because we have too many of these.

Another sad reality is the recent update to the Nevaeh story, a recently missing little girl, her body was discovered in a shallow grave with quick-dry concrete covering her. We should have been looking for her instead of chasing hopes and dreams.
