It feels like the Nazis are passing beyond living memory so there are few people alive who remember how bad they were.

Whether you think the person he killed deserved it or not is irrelevant, giving a free pass because of that sets an extremely dangerous precedent

It's just patently absurd. It's an angry mob. They probably didn't even know the victim. They could turn on you, me, or each other.

I remember seeing a commemorative plate in a Star Trek magazine in the 80s, when I was kid. I asked my parents to buy me one. They asked what I wanted with a Star Trek plate. That was a good point. I still don't know what I would have done with a commemorative plate.
