I give up! These people must think we're all morons.
"A Polish municipal prosecutor trying a case in which Polish League
soccer fans shouted anti-Semitic chants, saying they'd send Jews to
Auschwitz gas chambers, decided on Wednesday that the calls were not
criminally racist.
The chants, which included such memorable lines as 'move on Jews,' 'your home is at Auschwitz,' and 'send you to the gas (chamber),' were
made by Lech Poznan fans during a game last September against Widzew
Lodz. Furthermore, the fans reportedly waved flags with Nazi symbols.
Widzew Lodz is considered to have ties with Jews, even from the days
of the Holocaust, when a large number of Jews were involved with the
team. Poland had the largest Jewish community in Europe before the
Holocaust, when roughly 90% of the country's over 3 million Jews were
murdered.
Nevertheless, prosecutor Monika Rutkowsk ruled the chants did not
constitute a criminal offense, claiming that the slurs targeted
opposing players and not Jews specifically, adding they came in a sports
event rather than a social or political discussion, reports International Business Times..."
Yes, I always associate the swastika, and words such as "gas chamber" and "Jews", with blacks and Catholics. Doesn't everybody?
