It's hard for me to imagine rowing up in a family with one parent who believed the way von Brunn did., and von Brunn's son was quite young when his father went to prison, so there was even less time for them to be together.

I think he's lucky he didn't end up like his father, with the same beliefs. I guess the old phrase "like father, like son" doesn't always apply, thank goodness...

Good for the son. I noticed, though, that NO one of the Islamic faith came forward and said they were sorry for the five shot in the Utah mall, nor the two recruiters being shot by Muhammadans. If they did, it certainly didn't make any news. Of course, the killings of those in the Utah mall, and, of the two recruiters, hardly made any news like this story. I wonder why?

For the record, I condemn acts of violence perpetrated on others by anyone, regardless of their motivation. Unlike the vast majority of Propeller right wingers, I have never and will never attempt to excuse or deflect criticism of extremism in any form from any quarter.

Isn't that sad, that a son would wish his father dead because of his insanity and how his hatred of Jews had destroyed that families lives. Sick, just plain sick!
