And just like Reinhart Heydrich (not sure if I spelled that correctly. He does not deserve the dignity of me looking it up anyway), I hope some of our contemporaries share his fate: a week of agony before death by sepsis, all of which could've easily been avoided by not being a dumbass after surviving a(n initially failed) assassination attempt.

You spelled it right.

For those who don't know -- which included me until a moment ago -- Heydrich was a key figure in the planning of the Holocaust, in the planning and execution of Kristallnacht, in the formation and running of the Gestapo, in the Einsatzgruppen SS death squads that operated on foreign soil, in the false flag operation that was used as a pretext for the invasion of Poland. He was about to be deployed to combat the French resistance when he was assassinated by Czech resistance soldiers.

He's right up there with Hitler, Himmler, Göring, Goebbels, etc.
