TPM Reporting AP Bulletin:
" Accused Holocaust museum shooter James Von Brunn has died in a prison hospital."
Too bad there will be no trial. Too bad the Right Wing won't have to own up to this guy.
MSNBC is reporting as well on their front page. No details yet.
And oddly enough, Faux News.com has a pretty comprehensive story on the dude's death.
Still nothing on CNN.com as of 2:40 ET. Maybe Sarah Palin is saying something and all their reporters are on the scene?
As you'll recall, he was shot after murdering a security guard at the Holocaust Museum in DC last June.
Too bad that the Wingnuts won't have to accept the damage done by their hate spew.
I cry no tears for this man. But a trial would have focused attention on all the hate speech on America's airwaves... all the Glenn Becks and Rush Limbaughs and Bill O'Reilly's and Shawn Hannities would have had to ANSWER for CREATING this sort of atmosphere.
TPM has a profile of this small, hate-filled man.
I had hoped that a trial for this man would have shined a light on all the hate screed that currently goes unreported and unchallenged on the American airwaves. I have long suggested that, one of these days, something horrible on a cataclysmic scale is going to happen because of these stormcrows of hatred, and they'd be called to account for their words.
This was a horrible act committed by a horrible man. And now it will fade into obscurity.
That's the only sadness I can find in this tiny little man's death.
