Tread is a documentary about this guy, you can watch it on netflix. (Free on Youtube)

I thought they did a good job telling the story, not sure how I feel about his motivation or people treating him as some sort folk hero.

Came here to post this. Really good documentary. I definitely have mixed feelings about what the man did, but he didn't kill anybody. You gotta give him that.

It’s also free on YouTube. I just watched it after seeing this post. Crazy that I’ve never heard of it but the president dying a day later blanketing the coverage makes sense.

I love this guy, unfortunate that he was motivated by god to do this
