Bill,
I think this is a good example of the mindset some people have adopted that everybody should get equal representation in every area of life. Why should the family expect the community to memorialize this criminal, when he has already shown that he is unworthy of respect? He's no great hero; he ran from the law and tried to kill an officer of the law. I find it hard to care too much about his private life, when his public actions show no concern for the law. I just hope that some rights-activist group doesn't turn this into an issue.
