    What Tompkins is failing to realize here is that the people who are elated know absolutely jack shit about who Thompson was, and Thompson’s own kids know a lot about who he is.

      I don’t know much about who Irmgard Furchner was but I know she was a piece of shit because only a piece of shit would do that job.

      Tompkins was a garbage human and the species is better off without him. If his kids didn’t think poorly of him for having that job they could not have known him.

      Just because a monster goes home to a family and manages to keep them in the dark about the horrors they willingly commit for money… Or worse, maybe the family is aware of and approve of the inhuman way he takes your money… Having a family does not make a monster less monstrous.

      It doesn’t matter how many Little League games he went to, how active he was in the PTA, whether he volunteered at his local church. He was a terrible no good very bad person. And I don’t need to have sat down and played Canasta with him to see that.
