2. I had forgotten about that scene....maybe James Fields got the idea from the movie....revenge...

for a movie attack on Nazis

3. He probably didn't see the movie

I'm sure his impulses were more focused on what Islamic terrorists did in Europe.

Now, "The Blues Brothers" is my favorite movie of all time, and I am a bit ashamed to admit it, I laughed at that scene when I first saw the film. It doesn't seem so funny now.

4. Impossible to know, I guess, but I just wondered how a committed Nazi would react to that scene

They wouldn't be doing any of this openly if Trump hadn't forcefully winked at them...

6. Anyone getting an idea from a comedy film

paying homage to soul music that was probably in their grandpa's VHS collection is traveling a long way for revenge.

I suspect that asshole wanted to out ISIS ISIS. He saw himself as the Nice or London truck slaughterer. What an idiot. VA has the death penalty... He'll probably be sobbing for the Death Row nun if they put that on the table.

8. The historical reason Ackroyd said "Illinois nazis" is

that a few years before the film nazis had obtained a permit to march in Skokie Illinois. Skokie is a suburb that borders Chicago on the north. Skokie was also at that time a town that had one of the most concentrated areas of Jewish survivors of the Holocaust. John Landis the writer and director of the film is Jewish and from Chicago.

The nazis did march and it was a huge deal. Lots of protesting and the groundwork for the Holocaust Museum in Skokie happened shortly after.
