5 year old Hitler

[darrenbate]

Duh, Hitler was not a blond kid. J

Blonde hair, blue eyes......and butch, so there!

Wow, who gives a **** what he does on Halloween.

[gregM]

I agree, some people should study history a bit better before doing such idiot deeds. I wonder if he has ever visited Auschwitz...

He's probably never been outside of Kentucky.

its s free ****ing world...who is anyone to judge...

[Dom]

Precisely because its a free world we are all entitled to judge, to have an opinion, to pass comment. I mean seriously if you think Nazi Germany is so great why don't you go live there?

He has a right to do what he likes. And the rest of us have the right to point out the flaws in his logic and offer our own suppositions as to his motivations.

For me, I think he got exactly what he was looking for...fifteen minutes of fame. I have trouble believing that anyone who parades around in NSDAP garb is doing so innocently and not seeking the spotlight of public attention.

However, I do make exception for Re-enactors. About a thousand years ago, I used to be an active American Civil War Re-enactor. Therefore, I feel somewhat qualified to speak to the mindset and motives of most people who engage in that hobby whether they be Roman Legionaries, Confederate Infantrymen, or Panzer Grenadiers. By and large, re-enactors are genuine enthusiasts with a passion for historical representation and accuracy. In many cases, the dedicated ones have become legitimate experts on the day-to-day lives of the soldiers they represent. And the motivation is almost always the preservation of history and the education of the public through a very dynamic and engaging presentation.

Related, so no!

Ironic that he lives in Kentucky where the SOS is held and all the negative press on the show is a hot button topic at the moment. This kind of behavior sure won't help with the negative image of the show.

ermmmm ....because it doesnt exist any more...

Its less about the imbecile father parading around in public in an SS uniform because he can. Its more about the poor kids and how f'd up they will be from being raised by such vermin. IMO - the kids should be removed from that house asap. My bet is that picture of the child dressed as Hitler would not play well in front of DCFS or a judge or jury.

In terms of rights and a close comparison, I don't believe there are federal laws against beastiality either. A state by state decision that all states don't agree about.

The boundaries of civil behavior should not be set at the limits of what we legally can and cannot do. As my mom used to say "Just because you can doesn't mean you should". Ahh...she gets smarter every day.

Let me preface this by saying that I am a student and collector of the SS and SS arms for well over 30 years. However my studies and fascination with this subject are akin to the study of aberrant and criminal behavior. Extremely interesting but nothing I admire or would seek to replicate.

That said - if such an imbecile showed up dressed in that SS garb at my local bar he'd wind up in short order on the train tracks behind it. And I doubt very much the local PD after examining the kibbles, bits and SS uniform parts would waste much time on that case.

Now if such an imbecile, for whatever reason, showed up knocking on my door - I would render him. I would then be asked to prove I reasonably felt that I was in imminent danger of great bodily harm. The qualification for using deadly force. I would respond - ummmm black SS uniform, skulls, swastikas, raised by a WW2 veteran, grew up watching 'Combat', 'The Rat Patrol' etc..... Taught since about birth, Nazis bad, SS worse, concentration camps, etc. What was I supposed to do - invite him in for coffee and see what happens? Apologies if in the heat of the moment I did not consider the boundaries of his rights to dress as an SS officer when and wherever he pleases. At the end of the day I doubt there would be a court in the land or jury of my peers that would consider my actions unreasonable.

God knows that if you switched the attire in the above scenarios to KKK garb there would be no question about outcomes or consequences.

So while indeed it is a "free f...ing world", the boundaries of acceptable behavior need to be recognized and accepted if our hobby is to continue and to thrive. Precisely because good/bad or indifferent - people do judge. As well they should.
