No idea who Hap Arnold was though; master jokester maybe?
Serious warning about the replies though, be prepared for some serious liberal handwringing about being mean to the Nazis tried at Nuremberg.
(Seriously though, make this an emote)
Oh my god the vote counts, the takes, the few voices of reason
I've taken mental damage. I don't know when I'll recover
Now now, just because the guy they grabbed was the senior commander of Auschwitz doesn't mean he was actually guilty of genocide; he hasn't gone on trial yet; innocent until proven guilty. And if you mock these people like this, then you are just as bad as they are, maybe worse!

I initially read that as "Hey Arnold" and I was like "whoa, I never knew that cartoon was so based"

I am willing to agree that the prank was superfluous since, you know, the perpetrators’ damage was already done and taunting them wasn’t going to fix anything. What irritates me is that I know that these strangers would not apply their moralization consistently, despite their pretensions to the contrary. I doubt that, for instance, they’d lecture anybody on the importance of withholding judgement if somebody were taunting a prisoner of color. It’s very deceptive because they act as if they would find this universally wrong when we have no reason to take them at their word.
I'm reminded of every time we'd post that meme about the Vietnamese soldier on a talk show joking about all the (American) soldiers he killed (possibly fake pics just for the laughs), we'd always get that one crybaby who pretends he's against that war entirely and says the joke isn't funny and that he also opposes what our troops did, and yet......does this person post these thoughts to other posts about our war criminals who went to Vietnam? Nope; they only show their faces when people post about Vietnamese soldiers and their kill counts.
