Well its a bit different to that isn't it? The kristalnacht was when the mob turned on the Jews in Germany for no real reason other than Nazi party propaganda and a bit of not so subtle prompting by Nazi party nutters, the night of the long knives was when the Brown shirts and there leader Ernst Rohm were bumped off thus securing Hitlers Nazi party as the only real opposition to the left. Both of those acts were crimes against democracy and were morally flawed. My idea of a purge against the scum that presently infects our society would do the country a huge financial, moral and social favor. The black market would be eliminated, huge expenditure by the police/cps would be eased, so many prisons wouldn't be needed, so many police officers wouldn't be needed. The only people who would potentially loose out would be scums immediate family, (but lets face it many of them would be taken in the same night) the army of criminal lovers (many who obviously reside on this forum) would have there anti hero's taken away from them, scallys wouldn't have any "connections" in circulation to put the fear up people who disagree/fall out with them and obviously the human right mob would winge and moan for a decade or two.......all of which I and I'm sure most good/hardworking/law abiding/tax paying people could live with if it meant a better life with out the criminal scum that presently infect our day to day life.....
