Neo-Nazi gunman in Jewish center shooting says he’s no longer racist

From the Associated Press:

LOS ANGELES — A white supremacist who killed a postal worker and wounded five people at a Los Angeles area Jewish community center in a 1999 shooting spree says he has renounced his racist views.
In a letter to a Los Angeles Daily News reporter, Buford O. Furrow Jr. says he regrets the pain he has caused.
Furrow, who is serving a life sentence, describes himself as a “‘model’ inmate who has shunned criminal activity.”
He says he has thrown away his neo-Nazi literature and now believes “a life based on hate is no life at all.”
Ten years ago Furrow wounded three little children, a teenager and an adult at a Granada Hills community center. He later killed letter carrier Joseph S. Ileto.

  1. Hatred of Jews is not “racism”—it is anti-Semitism.

    He may well have also been “racist,” but since he’s in prison for SPECIFICALLY targeting a Jewish center rather than people of a different skin color, perhaps it would be more appropriate to write the headline to reflect that he has specifically renounced his anti-Semitism.

    Then again, asking the writers at the Star News to “think” beyond the knee-jerk politically correct bubble may be asking too much.

  2. he did shoot and kill a philipino too i was only like ten when this happened but he did kill someone of another race. so that makes him a racist.

  3. We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children-The 14 Words
