Greets and saluts from the NYC metro area. I’m sure most folks are keeping tabs on the full blown wackaloon James Von Brunn and the Holocaust Museum updates. Well, seems that this guy had a conspiracy for pretty much everything and everyone.

He was anti-government, anti-Jewish, was a 9/11 troofer, was a Nirther, anti-Semite, racist, white supremacist, anti-Bush, anti-Federal Reserve, etc.

So, what does MSNBC do? They use a quote from a fellow white supremacist to claim that “shooting suspect was genius and hothead” ignoring that he was now a murder suspect for killing security guard Stephen T. Johns, and buries the fact that the quote comes from a fellow white supremacist. In fact, MSNBC doesn’t even mention Johns’ name at all in that story.

It’s kind of hard to pigeon hole this kind of crazy, so other reports simply claim he was an elderly gunman, as though that’s sufficient.

It isn’t.

Classy.
