Got 22 years for that attack. He'll be out in his 50's, and hopefully would have been rehabilitated by then but won't hold my breath.
I am curious though - what is the fascination with Adolf Hitler for these far right extremists?

You know how some people are "lost in the world" and they get a hobby an latch onto it. So like me I have done a lot of Tough Mudder events I have T shirts a Mug eater bottle etc. Well instead of Sports or Stamp Collecting he chose Hitler. An went down the rabbit hole. Nazi ideology males sense if you think your problems are someone else's fault. You have to discount 1000's of others doing OK an believe if it weren't for X you would be doing well.

You then get echo chambers on line agreeing with you an you feel a bit of status from community. It's one reason I don't join the group forums about my hobby as while I do a lot of them it's not the sole focus in my life. This chap like XR or the ALF etc has made it his cause an well ended up trying to kill someone. I hope he never gets released

Well, they seem to be getting more organised. Guess what? White people can be radicalised too.

Nazi ideology
Well yeah, but the Nazis didn't really have a coherent ideology. So you'd think anyone who got interested in them in the modern world with internet would would do 5 minutes research and realize they wee just talking crap on the hoof.And the Nazis certainly weren't opposed to immigration, they were moving workers around by the trainload and as the 'empire' contracted Berlin was probably the most multi cultural city on the planet as all the foreign workers and soldiers retreated into Berlin.
Life is good but 22 years minimum seems light to me. Having said that, walking into your parole hearing with Hitler's signature on your hand and claiming you've changed is going to be quite a hard sell and removing a tattoo in prison is going to involve a rather painful and unhygenic process I would imagine.

Isn't that what we are aiming for here? You know, seeing past skin colour and getting the wider public to realise that anyone can be an extremist.

He needs a good rub-down with a damp Daily Mail.

I thought we all knew that already.
I think there's a lot of defensiveness about it on here tbh.It came up on the Reform thread recently and when you point it out and everyone just puts their fingers in their ears and goes la la la.
Look at this thread. If this guy was an asylum seeker and he'd tried to kill someone we'd be on pages of rhetoric by now. What is it now six or seven posts?

They could be from anywhere, it's the status of the "right to be here" and them doing crimes while trying to remain here that generates the discussion.
Its like visiting someone at their house as opposed to breaking in and s

I think that shows the opposite. Nobody is on this guy's side so there's little or nothing to debate so we don't generate posts of argument.If this guy was an asylum seeker loads of people would be some people defending him and playing it down and others arguing back saying he was a scummy scrote who needs decades inside there would be a squabble about it.
Short threads show agreement. Long threads show disagreement.
