A man tore the head from a controversial waxwork figure of Adolf Hitler on the opening day of Berlin’s Madame Tussauds museum Saturday, police said.

Just minutes after the museum opened, the 41-year-old German man pushed aside two security men guarding the figure before ripping off the head in protest at the exhibit, a police spokesman said. The police were alerted and arrested the man.

My question is: Can you even remotely blame this guy?

I know what the guy did was illegal but it just seems very strange to arrest a guy for tearing off the head of Adolf Hitler, even if it were made of wax.
