The name/s Adolf/Adolphe are still in use in German and French former colonies in Africa, and WW2 wasn’t that big of a deal in a lot of the continent. A lot of them had other shit going on, still do.

The internet and easy-to-access translators are more common now, leading to a further decline in the name, but in Namibia in the 1960’s? Totally understandable someone would hear/see the name Adolf Hitler without context, assume a strong German name would help their kid get by in German-Occupied Namibia, and leave it at that. Looks like it worked.

Looks like the majority of Jewish organizations consulted on this supported the Nakba exhibit, it was just the squeaky wheel who got the attention.

It’s a bold claim that a museum thought up by a famously Jewish head of a media empire to feature stuff about Jewish people and funded in part by the efforts of his Jewish sister is somehow not about Jewish people.

This is funnier if you know about the museum guides who had to censor their tours for groups who only wanted a tasting menu of human rights. To only learn about the people they think deserve rights and skip the rest, like those damned women and gays.

Just a heads up this story is over two months old. That said, here are some key points:

• The accused, Kasper Lincoln, is officially titled “Barbie Jeep Driver.”
• Kasper Lincoln just wanted to get a slurpee and his license was suspended.
• He was driving on the sidewalk until it ended.
• He was arrested by an unmarked police car. A Ghost Car, if you will.
• The lawyer has, among her certificates, a “Bad Ass Award” and a “DUI Defense” certificate. They’re next to each other.
• Kasper Lincoln did his hand signals and everything.

I’m way oversimplifying here:

Judges can only make decisions within their scope, the extent of the law, and on the evidence before them. They do have some jurisdiction within their court, like holding someone in contempt, but they can’t convict when no charges have been laid.

Cops can be sued civilly, but since we’re talking criminal law the charges would be determined by a crown. The problem is the whole criminal court process usually starts with cops arresting someone and presenting their reports, so good luck finding cops who will rat on a buddy. Or, a crown who wants to risk losing the cooperation of the police. I know one who moved to practice in another province after they went after an extremely corrupt detachment.

The CCLA has done a bunch of work taking up cases to hold cops accountable, but the whole judicial foundation isn’t just cracked, it’s crumbling. Ask any half decent crown, judge, or lawyer in private what they think of the police if you want to get stuck down a depressing rabbit hole.

In the greek tradition we will bring back the kynodesme.
