In case you missed it, ICE recently snatched a 95-year-old man who was just trying to live out his twilight years in peace. Did we mention said man was a literal Nazi?

Well anyway, not everyone thinks this is good news.
not sure but seems like someone had a bad Nazi take
— Christine (@cmdeb) August 21, 2018
Someone sure did. And that someone is Thom Dunn, a “writer, musician, and new media artist” as well as Upworthy contributor. He’s managed to find something nefarious in the capture of an effing Nazi:
These ICE agents don't realize that someone else will come for them when they turn 95 https://t.co/BoKDviD3bk

PS deporting a 95-year-old Nazi guard is a really great way to use elder abuse as plausible deniability for your xenophobic white nationalist sympathies

Wow. Just … wow.
Nazi murdered my family. So yes it's late but he had years of life his victims did not. I am pleased better late than never. Earlier would be better

You absolutely deserve justice for that horrible atrocity. I'm simply saying that I, personally, would feel that like that justice was cheapened if it was only delivered in the course of publicity stunt that someone else designed to boost their image.

Crapping on the capture and deportation of a Nazi is an impressive intellectual acrobatic feat.
So, war criminals should be able to lie low for sufficient time and then they become innocent.

Not at all. As a Christian, I do believe in forgiveness, repentance, and reconciliation. But I also believe that justice is cheapened when it's only delivered as a PR stunt by someone else to make himself look good. Your mileage may vary; that's fine.

Hold on, it’s xenophobic white nationalism to demand justice for a Nazi camp guard who is what exactly? pic.twitter.com/L1Pxz6Gs53

*sigh* The self-congratulatory, melodramatic air around this story reads—to me—like Trump administration PR stunt. It lets them point and say, "See this? We can't be white nationalists!" despite the many other instances that say otherwise, without alienating that base, either.

"Deporting a Nazi is elder abuse."

Defending NAZIs to own the cons.
Unbelievable

This is genuinely the worst thing I’ve ever seen on Twitter. And that’s saying something. Please, delete your account. I feel dumber for having read this
— Dipper: The Resurrection™ (@Dipper914) August 21, 2018
PS delete your account and throw your phone and yourself in the garbage.
— neontaster ??? (@neontaster) August 21, 2018
That’s good advice. Too bad Thom didn’t follow it.
The only thing better than this ratio, is witnessing you doubling down.
— Schadenfreudelish (@aggierican) August 21, 2018
This isn’t just your run-of-the-mill doubling down; he’s actually pissed at conservatives for calling him out on his stupid take:
Aaaaaaaaaand the wild Right Wing Internet hordes are coming after me now. How's your Tuesday?
— describe your favorite meme in 5 words (@thomdunn) August 21, 2018
Jeebus.
That's because your tweet was garbage lol https://t.co/AZfeIWWoyn

Yes, when you get upset that a Nazi was brought to justice, it will cause people to react negatively to you. https://t.co/I9ycICC7bx
— RBe (@RBPundit) August 21, 2018
Better than yours. I didn’t take the side of a literal Nazi to prove how woke I am. https://t.co/8zq6g1M5se
— Lizzy Lou Who? (@_wintergirl93) August 21, 2018
Take the L, dude. You had a monstrously dumb take. Happens to everyone.
— neontaster ??? (@neontaster) August 21, 2018
The "muh right wing trolls" tweet is even a bigger sign that your garbage take was BTFO than the tweet itself getting ratioed. https://t.co/pApvd9IQSa
— neontaster ??? (@neontaster) August 21, 2018
No kidding.
Some parting advice for Dunn — and for anyone who suffers from his special brand of dementia:
If your Trump Derangement Syndrome has you upset about a Nazi being deported, please re-evaluate your life and maybe consider getting yourself spayed or neutered so you can't procreate.
