"As I stand at my window, seeing marching columns of Storm Troops," jotted down Simple Richard Roiderer in a notebook before his arrest, "I think to myself what slaves they are. A slavish loyalty to a bad cause and a bad leader! They represent the qualities of sadism, perversion and homosexuality that are misnamed...
