“Museum Intolerance”

The gunman who shot and killed a guard inside Washington, D.C.’s Holocaust Memorial Museum this week has been identified as white supremacist and Holocaust denier James Wenneker von Brunn, or as Mel Gibson calls him, “Uncle Jimmy.”

Von Brunn’s violent crimes at the museum and subsequent capture follow his personal history of bungled hate crimes, getting caught, and going to prison. For a white supremacist, he certainly doesn’t seem to be proving the case for supremacy, does he?

An anti-Semite and Holocaust denier, von Brunn’s cold-blooded murder at the Holocaust Museum doesn’t seem to be making people forget the Holocaust, either.

Based on the idea that museums are established to memorialize provable events and historical facts, there may be an effort to build a “Von Brunn Is a Loser” museum.

In a related story, even in Hollywood, no one is stupid enough to green-light a new Ben Stiller starring vehicle in the form of an action comedy sequel, A Night at the Museum: Battle at the Holocaust Memorial.
