I’ve got 27 Holocaust-related entries, 15 that I’d deem political, ten soldiers, 24 minors under the age of eighteen, and a whopping 83 murder cases. Oh, and four cases (counting the defenstration) were lynchings.
Of all the ones I’ve written about, as far as the most repulsive individual I’d have to say it’s a tie between triple murderer Oba Chandler and Steven Smith, who raped an infant to death. The most interesting case in my opinion is the Pavlik Morozov one.
