Following the sentencing of 94-year-old Reinhold Hanning to 5 years in prison for his part in the murder of 170,000 Jews in the Holocaust, his lawyers have announced that they will appeal the sentence. The prosecution, representing Holocaust victims, will also appeal the leniency of the sentence.

Hanning was convicted 10 days ago by a court in Detmold, Germany, for aiding the murder of 170,000 inmates at Aushwitz-Birkenau.

The judges in the case found that Hanning worked as a guard in the German extermination camp on Polish soil in the years 1941-1944, while being involved in the deaths of 170,000 camp prisoners, most of them Jews.

Despite his advanced age, the judges decided to send him to prison for 5 years for his crimes. His lawyers are looking to have the sentence reduced or revoked, presumably on account of his age and fragile health.

Digging up dead foes happened in Old England too, which is where I got the idea.

Failing to do the right thing in Situation A is not only an excuse for not doing the right thing in Situation B, it should also not paralyze us from doing the right thing in Situation B.

Do one thing right (or close to right), and then you can work on other things - in fact, it gives you reinforcment for going to the next step. Doing nothing because your’re not perfect is a recipe for just doing nothing.

Yeah, there’s a very thin veneer of civilization. Barbarism is not too far away for most people (not dissing you, just a general comment).

There! See! This is New Math. Since they were the largest set, they were the majority, even though the individual members of the other, smaller sets, outnumbered them. Therefore, they were only Joooos!, and that makes it ok to let it go, already. If only there were a larger set, it would still be murder./s
