Don't claim to be kind

Was the mass murder of Jews caused by Hitler alone? Who are the national heroes and national leaders? People's social nature determines that people's behavior must conform to social standards, and who is the maker of social standards? Why is there a situation of collective out of control? One can be both an angel and a devil at the same time, the fanatical worship of man-made idols and the allegiance to absolute power caused the tragedy of the concentration camps, going back to the original proposition that because of Germany's bad economy, Hitler gave people promises, and He did it, so people believed, but then he set up an enemy and shifted from belief in the system to following the policy, so there was tragedy. Think about it, is it reasonable that social exaggeration and public opinion conform to legitimize a person's illegal behavior, and then judge him by another standard after the passage of time? The extremely bad influence caused by one person's actions cannot be ignored, but when everyone does this, who should bear the historical responsibility? Is it Hitler? Is it the German people? Is it a foreign government condoning German behavior? Who is acting as the facilitator of evil behind the scenes? In order to return to the conclusion of history, the historical image of winners and losers has been staged again, and political leaders have once again become the biggest scapegoats. I have no intention of whitewashing Hitler. I just want to say that the implementation of a policy is the responsibility of all involved. , the spear is all people, the shield is also all people, you have your justice, I have mine, when the two conflict, who can represent justice?

    A wonderful performance of the old drama. I feel that I haven't dug enough depth in legal theory. Haywood's justice was brought in from the very beginning, and I feel that it is not objective enough. German defense lawyers are also too strong. Although they are annoying, they are really wonderful. Compared with the United States, they are really weak. After three hours, it's still a lot of work.

    Those who participated in the formulation of the law had the purpose of destroying all mankind. Law enforcers are even more involved in actions and execution of violations of the law. The criminal laws of various countries share the following general principles: Anyone who instigates others to commit a crime, anyone who provides a weapon to commit a crime, and anyone who is one of the links in the crime is guilty. Rolfe also pointed out that Jiang Ning is a special judge who does special things. This is indeed the case. He was a tragic figure, and we believe he hated evil. But mercy for his soul is not to be confused with the crime in which he participated. His life was reviewed in court, and if he and the other defendants were demoted because of it, or if the leaders of the Third Reich were demons, then there would be no morals at all. But it can be seen from the trial that in such an environment, it is not surprising that everyone commits crimes. Imagine people don't forget that human distortions can easily happen just because of politics, betrayal of friendship and loyalty, murder of children. Overall a story of reconciliation rather than repentance.
