White Supremacist Opens Fire at Holocaust Museum, But Will it Be Labeled “Terrorism”?
The shooting of women's health provider George Tiller was not called terrorism. It's likely this won't be either. Why? Because it threatens no one's right to profit.
Four alleged animal rights activists are now awaiting trial for allegedly chalking and participating in home demonstrations and they are facing ten years in prison as terrorists. Why? Because the multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical industry pushed the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act through congress in 2006. For more on the AETA4, visit http://www.aeta4.org

A White Supremacist and Holocaust denier, James W Von Brunn, opened fire at the Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C. this afternoon, wounding at least one person before being shot in the head. That makes the second violent attack by right-wing extremists in about three weeks.
Meanwhile, the “radical” animal rights and environmental movements have not harmed a single human being in their 30-plus years of existence. Yet they are the FBI’s “number one domestic terrorism threat.”
On top of this, the Holocaust Museum–one of D.C.’s most popular tourist destinations–was full of school children. And it’s not the first time Brunn armed himself in the nation’s capital:
In 1981, von Brunn entered the Federal Reserve in Washington with a shotgun to make a citizens arrest, he later said, to protest about high interest rates. He was sentenced to 11 years in jail.
Will the government and the press respond the same way they did in the murder of Dr. Tiller, and not label it “terrorism”?
How do you think the government and the press will respond?
