In reply to the discussion: NYT apologizes for offending 'so many' readers after profile of Nazi sympathizer [View all]atreides1
(16,066 posts)24. Guess what?
Members of the Gestapo and the German police looked and behaved normally, so did those members of the SS who murdered 12 million people in the camps!
The German Nazis also looked and behaved normally.
What makes them different is how they think and what they think...and I hope from here until the day that piece of scum dies, that he will be hounded by those people who are normal...and refuse to accept the presence of a possible advocate of genocide in their neighborhood!!!
