(16,399 posts)Can you imagine the level of idiot that is getting into college nowadays to write that?
I almost don't want to believe whomever did this knows anything or even cares about Hitler, they just think that's some sort of Beavis and Butthead way of grabbing attention.

Maybe they can stop being personally offended by vandalism and frigging organize to keep a maniacal fascist from winning the leadership of the most powerful nation in the history of the earth.

I thought that my post clearly stated that.

* There was a Rolla kid that tweeted racist death threats, but even that was aimed at Columbia students.

I wouldn't actually smack them, but it is a wonderful mental image to play over and over again in my mind.
