Default Shooting at Kansas Jewish Community Center

Police arrested a KKK leader for the killing of 3 people at a Jewish Community Center in Kansas City. He was spewing "heil Hitler" as police dragged him to the police car. What is wrong with the minds of some people to be so violently racist?

I don't know what causes such hatred. It is evil to the core. I am so sad for the three people's families whose lives he took. I hope he gets his just rewards, now and later.

There have always been, and will always be, people like this. The root of it is ignorance, the bloom of that root is always evil and misery. I don't understand it. Sad through and through for all involved.

Politics aside, aberrant behavior is seen in every society. I think racism is only one of many excuses for acting out.

The nasty political comment was removed, thank goodness. This evil behavior has personal roots. Genetically inspired evil, IMO.

This article gives some facts about this sicko, and his past in federal prison for weapons caching.....

".....An Army veteran who fought in Vietnam, Miller turned to racist and anti-Semitic politics in the 1970s. He was a one-time “grand dragon” of the Carolina Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors ultra-right-wing and paramilitary organizations.

He founded the White Patriot Party in the 1980s. He later served three years in federal prison after authorities found him and others with a weapons cache near Springfield.

He agreed to testify against other members of the group, which caused a bitter split among some members of underground paramilitary groups.

In 1999, he wrote a book called “A White Man Speaks Out.” One excerpt: “Keep your Race pure at all costs.”

He also ran for office several times, never getting more than a handful of write-in votes. He sought the 7th District U.S. House seat from Missouri in 2006.

The website for his 2010 campaign is still online, providing links to videos and statements, many of them anti-Semitic.

Yes, the newscast last night carried all this information but also they stated that he's been on the FBI/CIA (I never know the difference) watch list for a very long time. Too bad they couldn't have picked him up before he did this tragic event. So sad!!

I really wonder about the mindset of such racist hate groups like the KKK calling themselves "patriots". In any other country, I believe such extremist hate groups would be hunted down and imprisoned.

The US Constitution works equally, I guess.

I am very glad to see there is no one on this forum trying to defend racist hate groups like the KKK. We do have mostly all very good people in The Villages.

As a Jew and a human being, I want to express my appreciation for having neighbors and friends like all of you. I am just about to sit down to our Passover Seder where Jews the world over celebrate how God delivered us from bondage in Egypt. This is, as far as I know, the first holiday in the world that celebrated freedom. It will take on an even deeper meaning tonight.

To have someone spewing that garbage after having killed three innocent people is, at the very least, obscene. May he rot in the lowest depths of Hell.

This organization was featured on ABC News with Diane Sawyer in their coverage of this shooting. A talking head had said that this man who did this shooting was one of the Top Ten Hate Group leaders. I wonder how people can get this twisted?

How do people get to be this twisted?
My first thought is, "Like father, like son."
He probably was brought up hearing anti-racist and religious things within the home,
just like Mel Gibson and his father;
two of the biggest bigots aound

You are right about the evil. Satan hates Jews. He hates everyone that God loves. As a people, Jews are unkillable. Biblical prophecy says God always and still has plans for them. Just one example from history. The expulsion from Israel, (which is the size of Rhode Island by the way) culminated in 70 AD with dispersion of Jews over many continents. They survived the continued hatred, inquisition, and Hitler, and returned to Israel in 1948. (as the scriptures had said they would)....who ever in history was expelled from their land for close to 2000 years, refused to assimilate, and took their country back? nobody ever.

Now their country is surrounded by Muslim nations, sons of Ishmael vs sons of Isaac. Wait and see what happens next. I am convinced the Bible tells the story of the planet from start to finish. The Jews have been entrusted with the very word of God. From Moses' Genesis to John's Revelation. That is an unspeakably sacred trust. But wait, that's not all. The son of God was also a Jew.

I am grateful for a Jewish Carpenter.


Happy Easter and Blessed Passover everyone.


Pass on all good that you find around you. Life here is very short.
