Handwritten will, painting of Hitler and Jesus amongst items found @ von Brunn's home

Bullets among items seized from home of Holocaust museum shooting suspect
Other items found in von Brunn's Annapolis home include handwritten will, painting of Hitler and Jesus


FBI agents seized a rifle and 100 rounds of hollow-point bullets, life insurance paperwork and a handwritten will from the Annapolis apartment of James von Brunn, the 88-year-old white supremacist accused of killing a black guard at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum last week, according to search warrant records filed Tuesday in Maryland U.S. District Court.

Computers, financial records, personal correspondence, a note "regarding plant care," books and a "painting of what appears to be Hitler and Jesus" were also taken, along with dozens of other items, the documents claim.

...

The search warrant, executed June 11, has 33 entries for items, each line often containing multiple things. No. 32, for example, lists three books and five letters found in the books. Other items include a Sears receipt and an unopened letter addressed to Von Brunn "from the Ronald Reagan library."

2. Even more thought-provoking: "What would Nazi Jesus look like?"

3. I hope Mr. Von Braunn makes a full recovery
So that this hateful little piece of work may be tried, convicted, and spend whatever amount of time he has left here on Earth in prison.

4. Have you seen an example of his work?
As I have opined before, they need to auction off his art work to pay restitution to the family of the officer that he murdered.

9. i can't fully say what i'm thinking,
Edited on Thu Jun-18-09 11:50 AM by Blue_Tires
but let's just say one or the other has no clothes...


the sad part is if a mainstream, legit (i.e. non-psychotic murderer) artist came up with the concept, we could have celebrated it as the pinnacle (or nadir) of artistic expression -- it would literally be western civilization as a whole approaching Godwin's Law (we have lost the existential argument)

8. I hope it's like those creepy Jesus figures
Of Jesus alongside a different member of the community - fireman, policeman, etc., and it's Jesus teaching Hitler how to swing a bat.
