First They Came For...

Inspired by the poem by Reverend Martin Niemoller of the same name, First They Came for... is set in a not so distant future where a nondescript regime takes away innocent people while one man struggles between standing up for what's right and saving himself.

Great adaptation for todays world, covering the Gay haters, Islamophobic facists, anti-semites and xenophobic anti immigration crowd.

I think i just covered the Republican Party leadership, Palin,Gingrich, Beck,Limbaugh,Cantor & Bohner.

Those leaders of the Republican party only play to peoples fears.

@sonney87 COM'ON! Get your head out of your ass. First of all the GOP and the Dems are two different parts of the same beast. They put on a show for people to believe they did like each other. But at the end of the day they body up for a drink at the local D.C. fancy ass pub... Wake you you bleeding heart liberal goodie two shoes. I do not like nor beieve in the Left/Right Paradigm. Blow it out your ass you stupid FUCK!!!

@sonney87 I feel sorry for you, surprisingly some people really can have small minds after all.

Pretty good ...but the Red star is a bit of a cliche...just black uniforms would have been

effective....the Red star gives the impression that just the ´Reds´ will get ya...but what about the far right aka Nazis ?? They were pros at that game last century......

@sonney87

I have to agree with 10secs2lovetff; the Republican and the Democrats are both control by the same beast.

@sonney87 seems to me they are coming for the Christians and anybody that doesn't like socialists. if you don't agree with libs you are "labeled" like the jews were in Germany. you are called racist if you don't like Obamas policies or illegal immigration.they try to silence people not by force but by making them feel afraid for having an opinion they don't agree with or be labeled a racist or a homophobe.i'm neither racist or "scared" of gay people! i'm a conservative! not afraid!

First they came for the communists,

and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists,

and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews,

and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for me

and there was no one left to speak out for me.

This is the closest to the original I think.

yeh, I agree drizztf88: the red star... great if you're indicting Russia, not if you're trying to make a point about the USA (I assume, given the Wall Street Journal he keeps reading).

And why did they take him away? Niemoller spoke out against them in his sermons for the Confessing (Christian) Church, at least. What did this guy do to get attention, except just be a witness? Otherwise: great to see it enacted.

Agree with sonney87, big time!

[drizztf88]

Red star? Really?

I mean, the poem says first they came for the communists...

@bgtop9962 You show yourself to be an ignorant Nazi. Ya the Ottoman Empire who committed mass genocide and fixed census records to cover up their plans for mass genocide, How can you kill 1 million Maronites, 5 million Armenians, 1 million Jews, 1 million Greeks, 1 million Assyrians, etc. if they don't exist? The west is waking up to the fact Muslim woman are filth bitch pig whores that immigrate to countries just to get it from ANYBODY to produce Muslim terrorist bastards!
