GUILTY KS - Three killed in shooting at Jewish center, Overland Park, 13 April 2014

[LinasK]

Ironic that the boy he killed and his grandfather aren't Jewish. Didn't hear about the female victim. This clearly was a hate crime, he targeted people he thought were Jewish at Jewish community centers, much like Buford Furrow did in Granada Hills, CA a few years ago. This one picked his date to matter obviously, since Passover starts tomorrow night and I think Hitler's birthday is April 19th. Also the Last Supper was a Passover Seder in case people didn't know!

The female victim was a resident of the Shalom Village Senior community. They have not released her name.

Horrible! Such a needless crime....we are surrounded by so much hate.

I attended a function at a Jewish community center. As the event was ending an alarm went off and everyone in the building were chaperoned outside. A bomb scare had been called in. They said it happens frequently. Everyone into the building has to sign in and they have security guards.

A 73-year old former Ku Klux Klan affiliate accused in the shooting deaths of three people in Kansas City on Sunday will face hate crime charges, law enforcement officials said Monday.
“This was a hate crime,” Overland Park Police Chief John Douglass told reporters at a news conference.
The suspect, Frazier Glenn Cross, a.k.a. Frazier Glenn Miller, is a known affiliate of various hate groups. He was a former “grand dragon” of the Carolina Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.
The hate crime designation means that Cross could face both federal and state charges in connection to the killing of three people at the Jewish Community Center of Greater Kansas City and at the Village Shalom Retirement Center, both in Overland Park, Kan., a Kansas City suburb.
“The U.S. attorney’s office will file hate crime charges against the defendant,” said Barry Grissom, U.S. attorney for the District of Kansas. “We will be presenting it to the grand jury in the not too distant future.” more at link: http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...-city-shootings-will-face-hate-crime-charges/

The female victim was a resident of the Shalom Village Senior community. They have not released her name.

Actually it was released today that she was there to visit her mother who is a resident at the senior community.

Pretty sure I have met the 14-year-old victim. I attend the same church (United Methodist). (A lot of teens were at the Jewish Community Center to audition for a musical). Every year the Boy Scouts stand by the doors and sell wreaths and have numerous pancake breakfasts. He looks familiar to me, although the name wasn't familiar. They showed a photo of him in his Boy Scout uniform and that's the one that looked familiar. I just wish the shooter had shot me at my age instead of a 14-year-old. I've had a happy life already.

This failed excuse for a human took a family doctor and an occupational therapist at a school for the blind. In addition to a 14-year-old.

What a waste of air ! What a pathetic excuse for a human. No, not a human... a monster.
This Frazier Cross (aka Miller ) 'thing' , and his cronies , are despicable in their thoughts and actions.
After his trial and conviction, take this perp out back and put him out of his misery. No taxpayer-funded life in prison, so he can continue to rant and rave with his like-minded friends.
I've heard it said that the death penalty is unpleasant and some would say it is wrong. Everyone is allowed their opinion.
But murder is unpleasant,too; and it darn sure is wrong !!!
MOO

Sorry for the rant. I am just out of patience with those who think it's o.k. to cruelly take innocent life.


My utmost condolences to the families of the deceased, and know that there are many who hold you in their thoughts and prayers !

The gunman then drove to the retirement home, where he shot the third victim in the parking lot. Authorities identified her as Terri LaManno, who was visiting her mother as she usually did every Sunday at Village Shalom.
LaManno’s Catholic church, St. Peter’s Parish, posted a message on its web site calling LaManno “a loving mother and wife, and a gentle and giving woman.”
The Children’s Center for the Visually Impaired in Kansas City, where LaManno worked as an occupational therapist, described her as a “gracious, generous, skilled and deeply caring individual who made a great difference in the lives of so many children and their families.”

What he did is no different than what any terrorist before him has done!
Hate crime is an understatement. This man should be tried as the domestic terrorist that he is. This man has been on Howard Stern, has written a book and has been vocal for years about his hate for jews, blacks and others. He is a disgrace to this country.

The federal government gave him that name when he was released from prison in 1990, along with a new social security number and a new place to live, not far from the Missouri River in western Iowa.
The idea was to erase any connection to the man he had been before: Frazier Glenn Miller. White Nationalist leader. Spewer of hate. Federal informant.

In 1998, Miller was a key witness in a high-profile federal trial that charged more than a dozen white nationalists in an alleged conspiracy to levy war against the United States government. The Department of Justice had called it Operation Clean Sweep. Miller testified that he had received two payments totaling $200,000 from a leader of the alleged conspiracy, but in the end all of those accused were acquitted and, incredibly, one of the jurors later married one of the defendants.

Very interesting that he received a new identity for his cooperation. It's even more interesting (to me, at least) that in the case where he was the key witness every defendant was acquitted.

Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against a white supremacist accused of fatally shooting three people outside of a Kansas City area Jewish community center and retirement complex in April. The announcement was made Thursday as suspect Frazier Glenn Miller — also known as Frazier Glenn Cross — appeared in a Johnson County, Missouri, courtroom in a wheelchair. A judge also ruled the 74-year-old is competent enough to stand trial for capital murder.

Despite saying he doesn’t trust his court-appointed lawyers, F. Glenn Miller Jr. on Friday said he would keep them “for now” as preparations got under way for his trial beginning Aug. 17...

“They (his three attorneys) get paid by my enemy,” Miller said. “I don’t trust anybody who works for the government.”
