Sorry, we're at war.
I know we have a Constitution and Rule of Law but it's not a suicide pact.
Would we have tolerated known, vocal Nazi sympathizers during WW2? Hell no.
“Would we have tolerated known, vocal Nazi sympathizers during WW2? Hell no.”
One of my aunts was married to a German American, who served in WWI on our side.
Later in WWII he turned in two of his Uncles in Law, (they were married to his aunts) for being active Nazis.
The Male Nazis were sent to a high security prison, and the aunts were held in a federal minimum security prison for the duration of the war. After the war, the uncles were deported to Germany. The aunts went back to Germany by themselves a few years later, because they couldn’t get away from the stigmas of their husbands.
In most cases (especially Japanese Americans) obvious overkill, but we may have swung too far on the other side of the pendulum this time around. Just a non-expert opinion. For goodness sakes can't someone use some common sense? Obviously the guy had some kind of psychotic breakdown due in part to divided loyalties. DUH.
