Hitler lookalike arrested in Austria - 1984hasarrived - 02-14-2017 I think he did this just for his 15 minutes of fame, and to try and make a bit of cash out of his "fame". Quote:A Hitler lookalike has been arrested in Austria on charges of glorifying the Nazi era, local officials say.

RE: Hitler lookalike arrested in Austria - BIAD - 02-14-2017 This is indicative of the paranoia in Europe. If this guy wants to pretend he's Hitler, is he really doing any harm? I mean, is he running for office on the plank that he's deliberately attempting to look like someone else?! I understand that it's not felt appropriate to resemble a leader of cult that murdered millions of people, but surely this doesn't warrant arrest. But I also understand the madness of political correctness that's abound in Germany and other countries. Young women who were raped by migrants and then not notifying the authorities because it may be seen as racist, Police reluctant to arrest those who did what they did at the Cologne New Year's Eve gathering because the majority were seen as migrants... and other cases. I know that this next part will seem to be a bit of a straw-man, but Gazi Kodzo in the United States can look like this for comedic properties and nothing is said. But like a straw-man's reasons, Mr. Kodzo doesn't live in Austria. But still, it goes a long way to show why colleges and universities in the States outlawed certain Halloween costumes because of offence to a particular section of society. But isn't a little odd that you can write about the atrocities that took place under Hitler's rule, explain the emblem that the Nazi party used had origins in India and even pay to visit the buildings where the holocaust took place. Though combing one's hair in a certain way and sporting a clipped-moustache is seen as degrading. It is surely a strange world. But the law is the law. RE: Hitler lookalike arrested in Austria - 1984hasarrived - 02-15-2017 Both Austria and Germany have very strict laws about depiction of Hitler, and yes it is illegal. As the original story states "Glorifying the Nazi era is a crime in Austria." Some other countries in Europe also have similar laws, afaik. |
