talk about holding a grudge.

Cant see the point in imprisoning him. I though the point of prison was to deter the criminal from repeating their actions and to protect society from criminals.

Neither of those two things are relevant in this instance. The bloke probably regrets everything that went on in that place 75 years ago and if he could change it would. He's a different person now, what's the point?

He's ninety bleeding' four for chrisssake, what do they think he might do, goose-step the streets in a nazi uniform leaking his colostomy bag contents in a public place?

Former Auschwitz Guard Reinhold Hanning Convicted on 170,000 Counts of Accessory to Murder

DETMOLD, Germany — A German judge on Friday convicted a 94-year-old former Auschwitz guard of being an accessory to 170,000 counts of murder.

Reinhold Hanning was sentenced to five years in prison by the district court of Detmold.

Presiding judge Anke Grudda said the sentence was "the least that a society can do" even though it came "very late."





Holocaust survivors and Jewish organizations quickly hailed the verdict

Everbody there will be dead because it will be a nuclear wasteland. The Jews will not allow themselves to be destroyed yet one more time without big consequences.

If everyone like that were put on trial, we would be on boats headed back to Europe right now. However good an idea that may be, it ain't gonna happen.

If the Nuked Palestine they be nuking themselves.

Funny how the only people Locutus has compassion for are Nazi mass murderers.

As a moonbat, wannabe hippy ditz I guess you are too self absorbed to notice the others.

Yep, more important you don't want to be sending out the message to other reprobates they can inflict these atrocities and expect to spend their old age in comfort.

Is he comfortable? Did he get a juicy Nazi pension and a yacht?

Makes less sense for the grandkids of victims to be doing the pursuit. How can you step into a future if you can't step out of the past?

Bingo... keeping hate alive keeps it alive on both ends.

The plea for lieniency, plausable deniability, get them all while there are some to be had, there's nothing to be hesitant about, it's seen to be just. However some of them will invariably become centenarians, a harder scale by a magnitude. It is common knowledge that german generals all moved to Argentina after the war.

"I want to say that it disturbs me deeply that I was part of such a criminal organisation. "I am ashamed that I saw injustice and never did anything about it and I apologise for my actions. I am very, very sorry."

I have no stake in this 75 year-old crap either way but it's a show trial and he would never have been convicted a few years ago. nowadays if you were a cook or a Demjanjuk there it's lights out.

very soon everyone that was alive then won't be anyway.

I wonder just how much this kangaroo court thinks one low level guard could have done to prevent even one murder without becoming a victim himself?
