Better quality of evil than anything Trump or Putin exude.

Fine piece of history. I didn't say he was a good man, but he did embody & give course to frustrations many of us feel. For proper dramatic storytelling, you've got to have some extremes. WWII is many important histories. It's full of murdering assholes the world round. The people won.

He's an interesting story in that he was a tremendous asshole without being a billionaire or politician. Unlike musk or trump, he made a statement without killing anyone but himself, without the stranglehold of millions of viewers or other system slaves, as the aforementioned both grasp on like a mother's teat.

He wasn’t evil, he was just a cunt. A nightmare neighbor whose frustrations were completely self induced. The only reason people didn’t die was the area was evacuated. He was fueled by insane Christian inspiration.

Less a fine piece of history, more a piece of fictionalized mythology.

Comes with the ~~territory~~ Christianity.

He didn't kill anyone else ONLY because he missed his shots and couldn't really see where he was driving. He made turrets in the tank "armor" to poke a gun through and shoot from. He intended to inflict death upon anyone in his way. Also driving a tank through multiple buildings should have caused casualties. Wanna know why it didn't? Because they evacuated the entire town once he started the rampage. He fully intended AND attempted to kill many people including police and innocent bystanders. Statement or not, he should not be seen as a hero. I encourage you to visit Granby, CO and talk to some locals. They all vilify that man. As the rest of us should also do.
