Why are GERMANS so popular (1 Viewer)

One day I put a K&C WW1 German on my desk at work & the reaction was generally "how cute, a toy soldier with a pointy hat".

Then I put the guy with the Imperial flag on my desk & the reaction was "Hey! You can't put that there! That's Nazi!"

So to spite them I took both away & put WW1 Adolf there, which is where he still resides!

I agree, but there is a case going on in LA that we should follow. It is going to the jury soon. It's the Brian McInerny / Larry King murder trial.

Basically a very troubled youth shot a *** classmate who was incessantly hitting on him. The police found a copy of Mein Kampf, Stackpole's 12SS Hitlerjugend book, an Iron Cross in the home and the DA in turn filed a Hate Crime enhancement to the murder charge, which if you investigate the details of the case, is absurd.

What I am getting at is it's an example of what some of us can expect if the authorities ever have to walk into our homes for some reason. These things can draw an overreaction.

The evening newscast broadcast the cover of the Stackpole book (which I imagine many here own) like it was the work of the Devil & only a mad man would have it.

Very interesting and pretty alarming too!

However I draw the line at having any SS items or equipment in my house. Gives me the creeps to be honest and I wouldn't have it under my roof. Fighting skill of German troops I can fully appreciate, but thats as far as it goes for me, anything and I mean anything glorifying that hideous regime is Nazi crap.
