I am confused if you really don't understand why he was arrested. He wasn't granted amnesty for his crimes when he entered the US. He was picked up because Germany issued a warrant for him the day before and notified the US, who then picked him up for extradition.
/thread. Pretty straight forward.I am confused if you really don't understand why he was arrested. He wasn't granted amnesty for his crimes when he entered the US. He was picked up because Germany issued a warrant for him the day before and notified the US, who then picked him up for extradition.

There is probable cause to find that Breyer, as a Waffen-SS Death's Head Guard Battalion armed guard was complicit in, aided and abetted, and agreed to use his work efforts for the quick and smooth implementation of the systematic murder of hundreds of thousands of European Jews, transported between May 1944 and October 1944 in 158 trainloads to Auschwitz
An 89-year-old man has been detained without bail on a German arrest warrant that charges him with the murder of at least 216,000 men, women and children. The hearing follows an investigation by prosecutors in Bavaria.
The ultimate decision about whether Breyer can be extradited to Germany rests with US Secretary of State John Kerry.

Murder/genocide doesn't have a statue of limitations. See ya.
How can the German government prosecute him for following order of the German government?
Something about that seems inherently unjust.
Do I stand alone in protest?
This man has lived another life for 70 years. Clearly peaceful enough not to draw attention. He likely has friends and family who you wish to see suffer. I condemn this action against him. All you're doing is digging up old wounds that should be laid to rest.
He is not a threat to society, he is probably frail and soon to pass from this world. Must there be venom, and hatred in your hearts? You claim to do this in opposition to 70-year old war crimes, but your actions honor such evil by continuing the pain unto this day.
There are better, more meaningful ways to guard against such horrible acts. None of them involve harming his family now. Let the old man rest. Let the war rest. It's over.
I thought about this and no you don't stand alone. the guy was only 17 when he joined and by all accounts did not kill anybody. If he a criminal why has Germany waited for nearly 70 years to issue a arrest warrant?

What if a guy is 15, joins a group, doesn't kill anyone, 10 years ago, now is married and runs a tea shop
That's an issue for the German courts to decide.
Funny though that some of the same people who are defending him because of his youth when he joined have a decided lack of sympathy for young gang members here aka "thugs".
I don't see what they gain by going after some guy who has had multiple strokes.
So if President Obama orders some black teens to deal drugs, and one of them shoots and kills a guy, and then hides out at one of his friends house would anyone consider it just to arrest the friend 70 years later for being complicit in the murder?
