[Long Cut]

I know exactly how you feel...these killers, like Rudolph and Kopp, are most certainly NOT heroes...and they would not be, even if they DID kill Nazis, however good that might be.

You see, they are, without exception, psychologically disturbed individuals, with severe self-esteem and social-sexual issues. They WANT to kill, as does ANY psycho killer. Those he kills matter not at all, nor any "cause" surrounding the deaths. That is just convenient window dressing, useful at trial only.

These mutants, of course, are the same sorts who are very susceptible to the rantings of various zealots and jackleg preachers, who laud such animals in their sermons!

They are, in short, no different than the Al Quaeda, the PLO, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, IRA, or any OTHER terrorists...they use their "cause" for a mask...one which covers their underlying bloodlust with a thin coat of righteousness. Really, they JUST LIKE TO KILL.

Exactly!!!
I think it is interesting that many of the people who think that terrorism against abortion clinics is acceptable will point to the "partisans" of WW2 (radical terrorists, really)
to justify themselves.
What exactly did the "resistance fighters" accomplish? Nothing other than getting more Jews and more of their own countrymen and women killed.
Many would say that the time and effort of the "resistance fighters" would have been better spent trying to persuade the Germans to believe as they did.
Instead they took the law into their own hands and killed German soldiers who were simply doing their job and judicial officials of their own countries to impose their beliefs on other people (not that what they believed was necessarily wrong).
Do you think that made the Germans or the local officials more likely to change what they were doing?
Even if somone is doing something really bad, wouldn't it be better to persuade them than kill them?
Unless people are willing to respect law and order, the opinions of other people, and their legal rights, what do you think the chances are of a satisfactory solution being reached?
