JUST A WALKIN' THE DOG...

KARKOC

Walking the dog and laughing together said a neighbor; so the revelation that a former commander of a Nazi SS-led military unit who has lived quietly in Minneapolis for the past six decades came as a shock to those who knew 94-year-old Michael Karkoc. His unit is accused of wartime atrocities during WW11, including the burning of villages filled with women and children. But why does it come "as a shock" to folk? Do they expect mass murderers to have 666 branded on their forehead, horns, a tail and red eyes? Then they've obviously never heard the phrase,"the banality of evil."
