Biography:[]
When he was a young boy, he used to watch alot of reports about the current president, Ronald Reagan. In 1967, on the same day he was watching Ronald Resgan's report about his dislike of the current enviromentalist movement, his father was having troubles with a group of hippies/tree huggers while trying to finish his lumberjack job to provide money for his sick wife. They eventually go into a fight and Gus's father gets arrested. After seeing his father getting arrested unfairly, Gus attacks and kills one of the tree huggers with a chainsaw. He was then sentenced to a mental institution afterwards. However, in 1981, Gus was freed after the actual president, Ronald Reagan defunded the institution. Gus becomes obsessed with Ronald Reagan and his idealogies. He eventually starts to dress up as him and starts killing people like hippies or tree huggers out of puritanical hatred and revenge due to his traumatic childhood experience. Its possible that Gus might have killed alot more people prior to the film, however, only one was revealed, he killed a woman during the 2005 American Free Love Festival by ripping her face off offscreen.
