Authorities discovered child pornography on a computer used by James W. von Brunn, the 88-year-old white supremacist accused of killing a security guard at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum last week, according to court documents filed by the FBI.

FBI agents said they recovered the desktop computer during a search of the Annapolis apartment where von Brunn had lived for the past two years. The pornography was disclosed in a search warrant affidavit seeking to make a more thorough inspection of the computer. Authorities did not disclose the type or extent of the child pornography they found on the computer during their first search.

Agents also recovered from the apartment a 30-30 rifle, other computers, floppy discs, memory cards, cellphones, a handwritten will and what appeared to be a painting of Hitler and Jesus, they wrote in court papers.

Meanwhile, agents disclosed in other court filings that they had recovered 35 rounds of ammunition, a disabled parking permit and a salt shaker in a search of the car von Brunn allegedly double-parked outside the museum just before the shooting June 10.

1. Oh my god.

He was a sick fuck in every way imaginable. Some people are just human waste.

12. Welcome to the right-wing wacko movement, otherwise known as Republicans.

[brendan120678]

31. Are you implying right-wingers are into child porn?

Or even that pedophiles are more likely to be from the right than the left? That's kind of unfair and baseless. As much as I disagree with right-wingers ideologically, I'm pretty sure pedophiles can come from any political background.

2. White Supremacy?

yea, right. Is it even surprising they are always the least supreme?

[mzmolly]

3. Color me completely unsurprised.

:(

[tridim]

4. Add another Limbaugh connection to the list.

Allegedly of course.

[Faygo Kid]

13. Freepers, too, I bet.

I would be willing to bet that at least some of the Freepers who write the most bizarre things about gays have some of the same stuff on their computers.

5. This puts his son's apology into a whole new light.

God only knows what he had to endure growing up. :(

7. Figures.

[HopeHoops]

8. Well now there's just the icing on the cake - can't blame O'Reilly for that one!

Well, not unless they found any pictures of loofah's or falafel on the computer - THEN we could blame O'Reilly.

[chollybocker]

9. "...the car von Brunn allegedly double-parked outside the museum"

String him up. Now.

[demoborn47]

10. not a big surprise, he's a POS

but what's the deal with the salt shaker? Am I out of the loop on this one?

[TheMickster]

11. A salt shaker?

was he going to kill innocent slugs too?
A handwritten will as well. I wonder who the beneficiaries are......could be interesting to find out what he was leaving and to who.

[RamboLiberal]

14. I want to find out all he had written in that notebook

And what books are on his shelf. What forums he had in his Favorites on his PC.

[Judi Lynn]

15. Now we know why he was so determined every fetus must be delivered:

Mo' child porno, mo' child porno!

We can't have a pool of potential children who could be exploited by perverts simply disappearing without ever having been used for anything to gratify a right-wing white supremicist, can we? Hell, no. (Later, as adults, they need to be used as soldiers for all the wars against what's left of the rest of the world.)

[brendan120678]

32. You're talking about the wrong killer, I think...

unless von Brunn had some anti-choice rantings somewhere.

[chatnoir]

16. Why is this not a surprise? I don't know why but...

when I saw his mug shot I thought he looked like some pervy child molester.

[Odin2005]

17. Death Penalty. Now.

[UTUSN]

18. SurPRIZE, surPRIZE, surPRIZE!1 Did O'LOOFAH stay on his case?!1 n/t

[guruoo]

19. Looks like Brunn hit the wingnut pathology trifecta

[JackInGreen]

20. I do hate to rain on the parade,

But do recall, a definition of child pornography does not necessarily mean that there were nasty pictures of old men with boys or little girls giving each other a soul kiss, this could be something as little as a bawdy cartoon or a nasty piece of manga, it could even be something in his temp files from a site he had visited that may fit some of the current tenants of CP.
Remember, no child be needed for something to be considered kiddy porn....just sayin.

21. Not surprising.

This guy deserves to be buried alive.

[TheWraith]

22. A 30-30? What the fuck?

A 30-30 is a fairly powerful rifle--vastly more so than the .22 he went in there with. It's roughly half-way between a small AR-15 round and a big 30-06. So why the fuck, with that available, would he carry the pellet shooter that he did?

[NickB79]

33. He was 88 years old. Maybe the recoil was too much for him?

[Douglas Carpenter]

24. it is typical of deeply repressed people who live in a lonely and self-obsessed world

to become overcome with hate and rage

25. FBI: Child porn on accused museum shooter's computer

Source: AP

Child pornography was found on a computer belonging to the white supremacist charged with shooting and killing a security guard at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, the FBI said in court documents.

Agents found the material on a desktop computer seized from the Annapolis, Md., apartment where 88-year-old James von Brunn lived with his son and son's fiancee, FBI Special Agent Ronald Farnsworth said in an affidavit filed Wednesday in support of a search warrant. Investigators searched the home last Thursday, taking more than 30 items, including ammunition, computers, thumb drives, CDs, memory cards, cell phones and videos.

Authorities will analyze who had access to the computer to determine whether the pornography was von Brunn's, or if it could have belonged to someone else, prosecutors said. No decisions on charges have been made.

The documents didn't say what form the pornography was in, or how much of it was there.

In separate documents filed on Wednesday, the FBI said it found 35 rounds of .22-caliber ammunition in a search last Thursday of von Brunn's car, which was parked outside of the Washington, D.C., museum during the shooting a day earlier.

27. Another reminder as to why the reich wingers need to drop sexual repression

as part of their platform.

28. Shameful. I'd expected better from a racist, cold-blooded killer.

I'm so disappointed! :cry:

Jesus or child porn? Jesus or child porn?

What a miserable human being.
