It wasn't just that, its that we carved the conquerors of the native's land into what was considered one of the most sacred mountains.

I reserve judgment since I don't know if your tale is true or not It's not a tale. It's on his record. Though the victim was wasn't pregnant at the time. Snopes talks about it and they are an extremely biased source *for* Floyd so they wouldn't confirm it unless it was undeniable. If he was just a small time drug dealer I could see someone making the argument "he's not a bad dude, he just did what he had to to get by when he was young" but home invasion robbery(be it against a man or a woman) is a really vile thing to do and there's really no pretending that someone that does that is a good person to me. That doesn't mean he deserved to die but he is not someone who should be admired by anyone. <cite>Grischnak posted [p:955194307] in George Flo...
