Really, that's what you thought was the most appropriate response to a man's death? Yes he was a flawed person but he also did a lot of big things in his life INCLUDING shining a light on the tragedy of drug use in America.

The new person's comment about Hizzoner's death really wasn't called for. However, he isn't mainly remembered for his work with Alpha Phi Alpha, his work towards equal rights, or his work regarding drug addiction. Here in DC, he'll be remembered by some as that. But most as someone who twisted the system so much that he makes Mayor Daley look like Honest Abe. That being said, I do wish he rest in peace and am sorry that he passed.

Thankfully you are not the authority on most people.
