Poll of the Day > Woman tells Jewish kids Hitler should have killed them all

(+) Yeah! (+)

Wow just wow! No idea how people can have this much hatred in their heart for other people. This woman should be ashamed of herself but I'm sure she thinks she did a good deed.

Sad reality is that there are a lot of people in America who share this woman's views.

Yeah, I saw that and it made me mad and sad for those kids. What is wrong with people?

Spit on children? Shes lucky she's not in a hospital bed.

@Kimbos_Egg

Title actually downplays it O_O

The woman stood in front of them and shouted, Hitler should have killed you all. Ill kill you and know where you live, cops said. She then spat, turned around and walked off, they said.

So that's assault (spitting) AND a death threat. And I personally consider a death threat from someone in "real life" to be more serious than from some random troll on twitter.
Hope they find her and toss as many charges as they can at her.

Looks like no adults were in the immediate vicinity. Also it's a woman, so she can do that sort of shit and typically avoid the immediate consequences a man would face.

She doesn't seem very bright. Hitler died nearly 70 years ago, long before any of these children would have been born.

world's gone to hell

This is what I was thinking.

I'm sure someone on this board will defend this lady's actions somehow.

This lady needs serious help.

...weeeeeeeeeell.

There is the argument that she might be mentally ill. Like you'll occasionally get crazy homeless people who'll say all manner of shit for no real reason just because they're kind of broken. And if that's the case there's justification to say that what she actually needs more than anything is therapy or drugs as opposed to hostility or punishment. There's also the possibility that she's just really high on drugs or something that's seriously impairing her judgment to the point where she barely even knows what she's saying. In which case maybe some sort of treatment/rehab would be a better option.

Sarcasm aside, context really is important. Sure, odds are she's just an asshole and the world would be much better off if someone were to just throw her under the next passing subway train, but there's always the possibility of other factors being in play that we're never going to know from a terse online article. And lack of details can easily radically influence our perception of situations in very mistaken ways.

It's kind of a huge problem that people today are fully willing to assume they know literally everything about a person and condemn them for their rest of their life just from reading three paragraphs of clickbait or a couple shitty tweets.

Being high on drugs doesn't excuse behavior so I will absolutely judge someone's actions in that case.

And you can tell quite a bit about a person's mental state by their appearance and gait. I'd be surprised if this lady had a severely debilitating mental condition given she is dressed appropriately, looks like she has good hygiene (hair is well kept, face looks clear) and is able to hold items while walking normally. So I don't buy that she is mentally not together and/or homeless.

This is what QAnon leads to... the so called "elite" they are talking about are the Jewish people... always has been, for like 5000 years.

I wonder if she knows what religion Jesus was

No, but it does radically alter the reasons and motivations behind someone's actions, and thus change how they should be dealt with.

Then you should probably become a psychologist immediately, because you're apparently more skilled than about 80% of actual psychologists.

If you think you can give someone a visual once-over and definitively establish the totality of their mental state, then either you've got magical powers or you're an asshole.

Mental impairment isn't an all-or-nothing switch that just toggles one day and you go from completely normal to full crazy. It's usually a slow slide by degrees.

It's entirely possible for someone to be relatively functional but still have manic episodes or psychotic breaks. Especially during periods of extreme stress or trauma. It's not impossible for someone to be able to care for themselves (for the most part), yet still lapse into dissociative states or impaired reasoning. It's usually the growing incidence of those sorts of events that lead to mentally impaired people becoming homeless in the first place (and the fact that homeless people are still generally able to keep themselves alive shows even some of the more advanced cases still have periods of relative lucidity). It's usually a slow, gradual slide towards problems, not one day you're perfectly fine, holding down a job and grooming, and the next day you're laying in an alley covered in feces.

Hell, go ask Zang about progression of symptoms - he's been experiencing it first-hand for a while now.

And again, I'm not saying that this woman isn't an absolute piece of shit with no real redeeming qualities or justifications for her actions (she probably is). But we literally know almost nothing about her, so making absolutist statements or being sarcastically dismissive about the entire concept of "context" is itself kind of shitty behavior.

Context always matters. It's why our legal system specifically considers intent as well as consequences. Murder, manslaughter, negligent homicide, and self-defense are all cases where one person kills another, but three of those killers are getting very different prison sentences, and one of them is walking away without punishment.

And to take it even farther, it's why most people tend to see killing in wartime or as punishment for crime (ie, the death penalty) in a very different light than just shanking a dude in an alley because you like his shoes. In every one of those scenarios someone is still winding up dead because of the actions of someone else, but why it happened is almost more important than what happened.

Judaism didn't exist 5000 years ago. And most antisemitism is more of a last 2000 years or so sort of phenomenon. The idea of singling out Jews specifically because of their ethnicity or religion is mostly fueled by the radical antisemitism of early Christianity (spurred by Paul and his Roman-centric successors rewriting history), and later by Islam picking up many of the same biases from Christians.

All I'm saying is you can make pretty good observations just on someone's appearance and how they are acting and reacting to their environment (why I said "I'd be surprised"). You don't need a doctorate or an MD to make such observations. Obviously you can't be 100% sure what is going on with a person based on a 30 second video but you can make pretty reasonable predictions.

Maybe this lady does have severe mental illness. And I agree context does matter, it'd be silly to say otherwise. Just my opinion that in this case with the given information, seems more likely than not that she's just nothing more than an intolerant and insufferable hag.

I'm glad people like this aren't smart enough to wear masks while doing their heinous acts so we know who they are more easily.
