What a coincidence!

McFly — 6/29/2004 8:15:23 PM (archived)

On June 30, 1934, during the â€œNight of Long Knives...â€

Seventy years ago tommorow!

The epsiode is very instructive:

Hermann Goering and Heinrich Himmler, envious of RÃ¶hmâ€™s intimacy with Hitler, accused him of being a homosexual.

The lesson: it's possible to get too close to Caesar.

He was taken to prison, where...he was offered a pistol...

The lesson: even on The Night of Long Knives, having a gun may not be the advantage you might suspect.

...when he did not commit suicide, the door was thrown open and he died in hail of gunfire.

The lesson: non-violence does not necessarily breed non-violence.
