Back when registered people could still travel with only a few roadblocks, me and a family member visited Germany. We did many tours and one of them was for a concentration camp. There were actual photos of the Jewish Children that looked like they weighed 10 lbs at most. If viewing that doesn’t cause someone to cry, I feel sorry for them.

Unlike us, the Jewish people didn’t do anything wrong to deserve that. So even in our situations, we are still faring better than many of them did, and I would not have wanted to trade places with them.
On that note, my ancestors, the Native Americans went through something similar, as many were killed by the newcomers, or placed on reservations where many today still choose to live to this day.

It’s an analogy that I have never tried to use beyond FAC responses, yet the NAZI party “softened” the public in preparation for the “ultimate solution” using some of the same tactics used in the media (incl social media) today.

That’s an analogy that does come up on this forum from time to time.

But Nazis are known for a lot more than doxing a former criminal or anonymously torching someone’s car.

Instead, they shipped millions of families off to be gunned down into ditches, gassed to death, or sent on death marches.

All for the crime of (literally) having been born to the wrong parents and grandparents.

So whenever we attempt to use that analogy to influence lawmakers, the effort backfires on us, for understandable reasons.

Nancy, I stand in agreement with your prayer! May God bless and keep you!

Nancy, I 100% stand with you, and thank you. Blessings and safety your way for you and your loved ones as well.

I agree but I will not bore you with my list because it is as long as the Mississippi river. But just as a tease, the worst was my window being shot out. I had a roommate at the time that was not on the registry. A bullet flew right over his head while sleeping.

The hole in the wall lined right up where his head was on the pillow and missed him by maybe a 1/4″. The roommate moved about a month later. I never got another roommate as I did not want anyone else to get hurt because of me being on the registry.
