Overreacting and stepping on the innocent...it's what governments are for.

The Red Cross has been doing this for years, not really unheard of.

You'd think they would be catching war criminals who have broken the Geneva Convention, not this

A scandal: Every year on carnival thousands of people here dress up in uniforms with a red cross and the german police does nothing to fight this criminal, despicable act of breaking the Geneva Convention.

Yes, freaking make-up-feeders!
Though I like the silent-film-era, but these days it was an art, performed by people who were professionals.

The Muslim equivalent, the Red Crescent, is not immune from this sort of attitude, either. They have frequently banned the Red Cross from operating in Muslim countries because their emblem is a Christian symbol. No it isn't, the Red Cross is simply a direct colour reversal of the Swiss National flag, chosen purely because the organisation was originally established there.
