News One Fewer Nazi In Bellevue?
posted by on July 15 at 16:04 PM
The Department of Justice is asking a Washington State federal court to revoke the citizenship of a Bellevue man they believe was a member of a Nazi death squad during World War II.
The DOJ says Peter Egner, now 86, did not disclose his Nazi service when applying for citizenship, and claims he was involved in the mass murder of more than 17,000 Serbian civilians, most of whom were Jewish men, women and children.
Egner was investigated by the Office of Special Investigations (OSI), which has been involved in prosecuting former Nazis since 1979. Since then, the OSI has prosecuted 107 people for Nazi war crimes and barred 180 from entering the country.
Who are they to judge?! HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM?!?!?!/1/1ktfgkjsdfer
Jeebuz, you wouldn't think there'd be that many of those rat-bastards left.
Good to know there's at least ONE branch of the Federal Gov't still able to track down these scum - even if it did take them more than 60 years to do it.
Throw the old fucker in Gitmo...
betcha he's a registered republican.
Justice!!!
the us and the vatican helped them escape in exchange for intelligence on the soviets. they should have let the russians capture all of them. there would not have been ONE nazi left. they ( the us) wants to act all self righteous now, but they helped the mengeles and tons of others escape.
There goes another McCain/Bush vote.
Wonder what Reichert will do?
As long as it doesn't involve Dustin Hoffman and a dentist drill...
That's so way way gay!
A friend of mine here in SF took over an awesome apartment from a woman whom - he found out a few weeks later when it landed in the paper - it had been discovered 60 years later had been a Nazi concentration camp nurse with a bit of a disturbing war crimes record.
I think she was hastily deported.
Ah... here's the story:

Right. So, when we catch them now, we should just let them go.
For the same reason, if we catch people enslaving other people, we should let them go because we have uncleans on that, too.
God dam America!!!! America, stop pretending you are trying to do what's right -- we're on to you!!
Oh come now, are 86-year-old Nazis really all that bad? I mean, when's the last time you heard about a Nazi as a youth pastor or pit bull breeder, right?
Who are the people in your neighborhood?/

Oh! They're the people that you meet/
When you're walking down the street...
no pc- u should catch them and let them rot in jail, but dont act like our country had nothing to do with the fact that they were complicit in their escape and thousands of them finding safe haven here. there are perhaps thousands of nazis who didnt go to argentina and paraguay who lived their lives out in peace here in the u s of a. the red army had them when they were closing in and the nazis knew full well if they escaped to the american occupied part of germany they would be able to escape. it hardly matters when you find them 2 weeks before they die when you could have caught them within weeks.
With apologies to the Cohen brothers...
They were Nazis Dude?
C'mon, Donnie, are splitting hairs here? They were threatening him with casteration...
Has Pat Buchanan been alerted? He usually discovers a burning love for the constitutional rights of the accused during moment s like this. And only during moments like this.

Yes, linus, we're familiar with the Milgram study. However, laws and justice do not exist to reflect human behavior, but to shape it.
What happens in war, happens in war. Period.
Obviously he has left his past behind him.
Before folks get all righteous, one should look at the fact that it could one day come to bite current US soldiers in the bum should it be declared unanimously our occupation of Iraq unjust.
It was 50+ years ago. It was his job. It's over. Let the man live out his life in peace.
is Linus a dyslexic 13 year old?
Bandit,
I'm generally averse to using the anonymity of public fora to be rude to strangers. But after reading your post, I felt like I'd taken one long, luxuriant, exfoliating idiot-bath. What you've written is undoubtedly the stupidest thing I've read in many a moon.
First off, the Serbian Jews under consideration were not combatants. They appear to have been killed because they were Jews. Second, the citizen under consideration entered the country after falsifying information that, if disclosed, would have prevented his entry. Third, if American soldiers are committing equivalent atrocities, then yes, they should be prosecuted.
Viewed from any angle, your post is the product of a defective moral education.
Have a good day.
Hey, Linus may be on to something... who were the orcastraters? What was this Nazi war criminal doing in the PacNW, so close to the killer whales?
Were killer whales involved in the New Swabia project?

Oh, and here's why we go after the foot soliders:
not a whole lot of generals and bigwig politicians from the 1940's are alive and in hiding right now. Math, do.
And thank you, Bandit, for reminding me how it is telecom immunity became the law of our land, and how the Nuremberg Defense is still alive and kicking.
