Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Trauma makes people do strange things. Given what his family went through with kidnapping and murder, it's entirely possible that he started on that road thanks to a sincere desire to never see another person's child get killed. What emerged from there may easily have started as blaming the people in his life that he saw either trying to push young men to go and die, or that he somehow blamed for the murder of his child. I can't bring myself to hate the man - his turn from glory to agony was so abrupt that any clear voice in the midst of madness and pain probably seemed like something worth holding onto. It's amazing what people believe when they're grieving or traumatized.
To me, that's when his death started. The Nazi sympathizer was just a dead man walking, a bereft father of a kidnapped and murdered baby, not the national hero who inspired a dance craze with his aeronautic feat.
Ehhh.... I'll go with "if that's what happened".
And which alternative do you support?
None in particular, but there is enough known to be able to put it in question relative to the alternatives.
I will say that quite a bit of the case reminds me of current day parents who kill their kids, intentionally or not. Whether they thought it would blow over since kidnapping for ransom was more common then, or attention, whatever, I have no idea.
Given the only physical evidence tying to the crime had no fingerprints on it, or anything else to tie to the crime itself, combined with the last...
I can only think "if thats what happened".
