NJ Child Services Seize Adolf Hitler Jr.
Taken from their parents, despite their not showing any signs of neglect.
Allah wonders if it's just about the names. I reckon that's a high probability. Not that I would be surprised if a guy who names his kids Adolf Hitler and Aryan Nation abused his kids. But there's apparently no evidence of that, suggesting this is just about disapproval of his, erm, fascophilia.
A while back Hot Air linked an interview with this guy I meant to link but didn't get around to. A really good listen as the guy tries to claim that he is not a fan of Adolf Hiter, he just wanted to give his kids names that were "different" because that's what America is all about, being different.
Allah wondered at the time why a man who is such a fan of Adolf Hitler that he'd make his kids into walking breathing pooping advertisements for him would then balk in a radio interview and refuse to admit he has any fondness for Hitler at all.
Well, I think this all explains it. He probably had been contacted by child services at that time -- for no other reason than the names of his kids (and, frankly, I think child services has the duty to give him a ring in this situation and see what other interesting ideas about child rearing the guy might have) -- and he gave that ridiculous interview knowing that the state was thinking about taking his kids away. So it was all "Hitler? Adolf Hitler? Nah, I wasn't even thinking of that guy. I just like both names separately; I never considered them both together like that. Gee, I guess when you put both names together, I can see why you'd think that."
