I watched the movie about Carl here recently. It used to be on Netflix streaming, but doesn't look like it's on there anymore. Perhaps on DVD rental?
Superb stuff. Dude was pretty hateful.
I too watched the same documentary (youtube rental $3.99) about him, it was pretty intense stuff.
I watched that too. If ever there was evil incarnate, Panzram comes damn close... Also, I was suprised to learn he did time in Oregon (my home state) State Penitentiary .
