Well I guess what goes around comes around. You can't take a life and expect to keep yours. I can't understand why people are so inhumane, but to kill someone because you disagree or dislike their beliefs should be a punishable crime, and that's why Mr. Von Brunn is no longer in existence.

After moving to New York City in 1947, von Brunn found a job at a "big-league advertising [firm] on Madison Avenue" and attended evening art classes, he wrote in an online biography.
