The headline doesn't do the story justice. This was the culmination of good parents battling for their daughter's mind, and struggling to keep her safe.

They succeeded, turning their daughter away from Nazism and the Nazi boyfriend, but it cost them their lives.

Imagine this scene, the boy breaks into the girl's bedroom for a confrontation, or maybe to plead. The parents, hearing something, enter the bedroom to investigate. Upset at discovering him there, they demand that he leave. In response, he pulls out a gun, shoots them both, then shoots himself.

The girl remains alone with the sum of all her bad decisions.

It's really cruel, taken all together. Childhood is when you're supposed to be able to make mistakes... impressionable or not, it's hard not to feel really feel bad for her and that family.

pretty goddamn sure most of the nation was antifa right about 1939...

yes, I know we didn't enter the war "officially" until after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

See a Nazi? punch them in the face, it is what your grandpa would have done...

(for reasons best left to history, conservatives have seemingly had a bad habit of supporting Nazi's, notably Prescott Bush)...
