UPDATE: Suspect is an 89 year old white male, with ties to white supremacist group.

Another senseless act of domestic terrorism by another radical right wing extremist group. These groups sure do create and foster a lot of "lone wolves".

It's time for a major crackdown on these groups and their hate-filled incendiary rhetoric that is designed to incite people to acts of rage and senseless violence.

link please. I'd love to know how you KNOW it was linked to anything right-wing related. I've looked at all of the major internet news sites and see nothing spoken of right-wing extremists.

Here, it's on MSNBC now:

A quick google on James Wenneker von Brunn pulls up several racist groups who seem to idolize him. Stormfront calls him a "White Racialist Treasure" for his biography "Kill The Best Gentiles".

I was totally surprised by his age. I thought this was a copy cat act at first. So sad.

Here's his website: Holy Western Empire - Biography of James von Brunn (http://www.holywesternempire.org/bio.html - broken link)

Seems like he is just god damn crazy. More hate crime than terrorism.

This is the proof to your right-wing extremist claim? You're kidding, right?

I suppose exercising a little restraint until the facts are known is not a quality found in the liberal mindset. While we're at it, it's Bush's fault!!

"May have had" doesn't sound like anything definite. They shouldn't speculate until they are certain they have facts and not just conjecture and "may have hads."
