I'm glad we finally reached an agreement that people can and should be held criminally responsible for their words.
>They cannot use the excuse they were following orders.
Good, though that's not what was being argued. I think you knew that though.
The words the Nazis said were irrelevant. They directed people to kill and as such they were guilty.
I think someone who goes and attacks somebody is guilty. They cannot use the excuse they were following orders. The words didn't take control of them like a spell. They made the conscious choice to commit violence and as such the guilt is on them, not the bat.
