Parents do stupid shit all the time.

Today of all days

he couldn't think of anyone else?

"Well, I've got all this Nazi stuff in the attic and I'm in a hurry" hahaha

Although if he was trying to be scary, I'd say he nailed it. Neighbors will cross the street before passing his house for some time.

What a thing to remember your father by. And, did their mother condone this act?

Someone needs to take that guy out behind the woodshed, then send him back through K12.....

I'd bet good money it goes with the rest of his regalia.

understand that words are meaningless, and symbolism has a far more powerful effect. I agree tho, his intention was to portray a historical figure, and that portrayal is one of intimidation.

Nobody keeps a complete, immaculately detailed Nazi uniform like that around just for Halloween.

This is never okay.

The only exception is if you are in a production of the producers.

I think he might have been semi-okay at an adult Halloween party, but involving the children in this fairly tasteless act was a bridge too far.

And let's hope that Child Protective Services (if one exists in Kentucky) takes his children away.

They're out and they're proud.

he has kept his grand-father's uniform in great shape.

because "intolerant liberals" called him out on it.

What a piece of shit.

God help those poor children, and God help whoever is married to this fuckwit.

I have a screen-accurate Mandalorian cosplay outfit, which is also not a Halloween costume. I know how much effort and expense goes into something like this -- this dude has actual fucking Nazi SS medicals, uniform, RING, etc. He is literally dressed as the USA's enemy.

He isn't even hiding it.

That is not a halloween costume.

That is either an army/navy surplus getup, or a movie prop for closeup quality

Not cheap in either case by any means, and certainly not something you'd just decide to dress up as and drop that kind of dime for that amount of detail and accuracy.

By him wearing a SS uniform and dressing his innocent 5 year old up as a real mass murderer who perpetrated heinous crimes and is viewed in history as evil.

I know exactly what my father would have told him: "My job was to shoot and kill people dressed like you. I had friends die from being shot by people dressed like you. You had better get out of my sight."

But, my father is 94 years old and barely gets around with a walker now. He would still tell that asshole would-be Nazi that, though.

He was in the first platoon to reach Dachau. Quiet guy, but got really agitated over Nazis. He'd even say, at the extended family Thanksgiving dinner table, that "Nazis are good only for killing" and "Don't tell me the Holocaust never happened. I saw it with my own eyes."

That's a very impressive family history and very good of your Uncle to speak of what he saw.

it was pretty terrible, as you might imagine. I had asked him before why there were no Nazis from Dachau at Nuremberg, for I had never heard of any.

He told me there were a few SS who were captured, maybe a dozen. The American troops executed some by firing squad. Others didn't get out that easily. My uncle told me the American soldiers handed out shovels to the survivors strong enough to swing them, and threw a few guards into their midst. About that, he said, "Remember, Nazis are good only for killing."

This was confirmed years later in a declassified film documentary, for some of it was filmed. I don't have the link. I don't want to see it again. My uncle was a gentle man who was exposed to horror and evil that was truly beyond his imagining, and it hurt him deeply.

who fought in that war knew exactly who the enemy was.

She wanted to know what he did in WWII.

I told her "He killed Nazis. It's a family tradition." She never got to meet him, but she still loves and respects him. She's a good kid.

In a way, I'm glad he died 15 yr ago; this is no longer the country he fought for

You dressed as a fucking Nazi. What the hell did you think was going to happen?

I believe the kids were removed.

Re: Kanye West and the “Blacks for Trump” (I viewed his website so you don’t have to) guy. And of course, Stephen Miller.

WTH?

I get that people are concerned about kids being impressionable, a guardian's duty towards their minor wards, etc, but as noted above, that SS uniform represents a great deal more of an investment of time, money, and attention than the kid's costume. How deeply invested is this guy in his SS uniform? Evidence suggests a great deal.

That ADULT in full Nazi uniform has to be a joke? /a photo shopped image?


If this isn't a photo shopped image- this is Another MAGA-Manwho needs to lose his job over that 'disgusting poor decision'.

And will go burn the White House to the ground and put toxic poison in the Washington DC water supply,.. as a joke come next year's Halloween ?

This guy thinks he is funny ?

From the localOwensboro Times

Or is that his daily uniform ?

Something demonic going on here with this guy.

Screaming at and threatening a 5-year-old is not okay, no matter the circumstances. That poor kid has no idea who Adolf Hitler was, what he did, or why dressing up as him is a horrific thing to do, particularly the day after a synagogue was attacked by a gun-wielding maniac. The kid is being used as a prop for his dad's lunacy, and is basically just along for the ride. He didn't choose to dress like that, so freaking out on him and threatening him is directing your fire at the wrong target.

That said, the kid's father deserves all the abuse he's getting and then some. You're goddamn right people are going to be "intolerant" of someone dressing up like an SS officer less than 24 hours after 11 Jews were murdered at their synagogue. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that "intolerance." You're free to dress up like a Nazi. We're free to call you a piece of shit. Hooray for freedom!

What an asshole.

Then I think they're wrong in doing so. Like I said, the kid has/had no choice in the matter, and has no clue about why someone would be upset about his costume.

Then again, this is an asshole asserting such, so it's possible you're right and the vitriol was directed entirely at the asshole. Not having been there, there's no way I can know which is which.

In any case, I can't imagine any situation in which it's okay to scream at and/or threaten a 5-year-old. I can, however, imagine someone being so furious and outraged that they did so in the heat of the moment. Anger can make people do and say things they would never normally do or say.

Prince Harry dressed as Hitler and got Hell for it. Dressing as Hitler is not a good idea, period.

But at least with Roseanne, she is Jewish. It puts a little different spin on her costume
And dressing your kid as Hitler...

...him perfectly - both physically, and, apparently, attitudinally. What a creep.

No way that is a $39.99 item from Party City.

Their parents were neo-nutzi whack jobs. Last I knew, they had distanced themselves from the father and they weren't close to the mother either. They blamed him mostly

posting a photo of this "nationalist".

“There is no objective proof of the six million Jews he supposedly murdered,” MaryAnne Goldbach wrote. “If there really was a Holocaust, then why does it have to be forced down your throat. Open your eyes people. I will not let my kids be taught stupidity.”

I never get a straight answer.

With a name like Goldbach, I wouldn't be surprised if he has some Jewish ancestors.

to the state because they named their son Adolf Hitler (among other reasons).

The character Michael Moriarty played in the Holocaust.
Be curious how many people yelled at his kid (that number should be zero), because I doubt many, if any at all, did that
And... how does he know they were all from the Left. I know a lot of centrists and conservatives who would have been aghast at it and likely would have said something

god help our children in this country.

These fuckers need to be shunned to absolute poverty and destitution.
