Scores of police are on the scene at the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington DC after shots were fired inside the complex. According to early reports, two people were hit. A rifle might have been used as well. An eyewitness account claims that a security guard was "down and bleeding on the floor." San Francisco's Holocaust memorials, as many of you recall, also have trouble keeping chaos at bay. The gunman was shot and arrested. DCist has more on the story.

Since, naturally, Jews control the media (oh, we kid.) and the Gav loves the media, Mayor Gavin Newsom sent out the following statement yesterday, condemning the defacing of the SF Holocaust Memorial.

Oh oh. Once again, just the other day, the San Francisco Holocaust Memorial fell victim to vandalism. Some sort of red paint -- possibly signifying blood? -- was involved. While the graffiti has since been erased, a "footprint remains where red had been painted onto the memorial wall outside the Palace of the Legion of Honor." The suspect, according to KCBS, is a passionate lad "in his 20s who is six feet, wears a white bandana and carries a black bike messenger bag." Motivated by the recent Israeli assault in the Gaza Strip? Perhaps. But who's to say. If you recall, the memorial was the target of swastika graffiti back in November.

For the second time in two months, the San Francisco Holocaust Memorial in Lincoln Park was vandalized. With damages anywhere between $5,000 and $6,000, swastikas were marked on the bronze sculpture with pen. Most of the signage was removed, but a "specialized sculpture conservator will be brought in to fully restore the memorial."
