RIP Nelson Mandela

[Sarge]

Didn't intend for this to turn political. Despite his early wrongdoings he was still a catalyst for much needed change in the end.

YMMV

I doubt ALL the people, and their families(if they are still alive) he's responsible for being killed aren't so forgiving.

Apartheid was bad , but NO WHERE NEAR what followed it, that he's responsible for.

Sorry, but I don't subscribe to the PC crap of " ALL is forgiven, EVERYBODY'S a Saint once they die".

He was an admitted terrorist up until 1983, responsible for the death of 19, in the Church Street bombing.

His ANC invented "necklacing" or at least made it COMMON practice.

I could go on for quite some length on just what I REMEMBER from that era.

He DID finally make a turn in his last few years, but He and His movement took a self sustaining 1st world country into a 3rd world hellhole dependent on outside help to stay afloat.

I don't care what you cause is KILLING innocent women and children is NEVER acceptable.

Never mind. Peace.
