Extremists
"Hate is like acid. It can damage the vessel in which it is stored as well as destroy the object on which it is poured." Ann Landers
First the murder of Dr. George Tiller by an anti-choice extremist. Now the murder of a security guard at the Holocaust Museum by a white supremacist.
Scott Roeder, who is being held for the murder of Dr. Tiller served 16 months in prison for carrying explosives, and threatened violence against abortion providers a week before he allegedly shot Dr. Tiller.
James W. Von Brunn served over 6 years in prison, for attempting to storm the Federal Reserve Bank in 1981. He is alleged to have killed a security guard at the Holocaust Museum. On a white supremacist website in 2007, Von Brunn urged: “Take action. Target. Swarm across the landscape. You know their murderous intent. You know who they are. Do it.”
Mr. Von Brunn spent more than 40 years in the white supremacist movement. Now, he sees a black president in the White House, who is doing things, that he can’t accept. Some suggest, that his intent may have been to become an Aryan hero. Younger people in the white power movement looked up to Von Brunn. They respected him, because he had distinguished himself by serving time as a POW. The white power movement considers any white person, that is sent to prison for a racial hate crime a prisoner of war.
Extremist believe there is a racial holy war going on, which they call RaHoWa - short for racial holy war. Since, Obama became President, they believe that the America, as they knew it, is dead and never coming back. Consequently, these extremist feel corner, and they’re act out with violence against anti -semitic targets.
Many perpetrators of anti-abortion and anti-Semitic violence are lone wolves and not part of an organized group. Often, we don’t know about them until an incident happens, which can be trace back to their extreme hatred.
