'Nazis would have gassed you' judge tells criminal wearing swastika.

Judge Roger Thorn lambasted Cockerline, 42, after hearing how he was often seen around Hull with the offending badge pinned to his beanie hat.

He was particularly angered by Cockerline’s decision to display it as he entered Hull Crown Court two days before Remembrance Sunday.

Judge Thorn, himself wearing a traditional poppy, told him: “You’re in enough trouble. It's a disgrace you were wearing a swastika badge on your hat at this time of Remembrance.

“Ironically, being a druggie and a weirdo, you would have been the first person that the Germans would have gassed!"

Cockerline, who has convictions for harassment and criminal damage, was appearing before Judge Thorn for a monthly probation review imposed for breaching court orders.

He remembered to take off his hat as he entered the courtroom, but was confronted after the judge learned of his habit of showing off the swastika during meetings with probation staff.

The judge asked him what it was all about. Cockerline, who was standing in the well of the court, took his hat out of his pocket and showed him the swastika.

He said he had been given it in a direct swap for a German beer glass.

I don't believe the judge was correct.
Drugees and weirdos would have been killed or put into special units.
But I don't believe they would have been gased.

The Nazi's were and still are very resourceful in recruiting. When I saw the title I thought the man was a Jewish person or a minority. These probably would be gased.

Look at the Nazi movement, they embrace the weirdo's and freaks. Drugees wouldn't be included in the elite group, but they would be welcomed to fight against any enemy. Drugs are a weakness, but an exploitable one.

I didn't try to dig deep, this guy isn't worth the time. But based on the surface I'd say you are right, and in a literal sense the judge is dead wrong. Oh the guy may well have been killed by the Nazis. In my opinion he had a good chance of killing or being killed on 'The Night of the Long Knives'.
