RIP American hero.
If you don't stand up against what's wrong when other people think it's right then WTF good are you? It's precisely when the pressure is the most to be wrong that the duty to be right is the greatest. If this is true that he did this then screw him, all he did that was good was an act, a lie and nothing more and same for the lot of them.Yeah, I'll judge him on the whole, and don't doubt that he was a patriot. The late 60s were a different era - and some normally pro individual rights Americans, like Glenn, probably thought they were doing good after prominent assassinations - and continued down that path.
Did you speak up against Glenn in the past, or just now after he passed? I made my comment on the day that Glenn died. I would have done the same at the time of Reagan's death if there was a focus on his anti-2A efforts. I don't admire the gun control efforts of either (and in the 60s, Glenn wasn't legislating of course), but I recognize what both did in other realms for the country.If you don't stand up against what's wrong when other people think it's right then WTF good are you?

True we all make mistakes but some stuff cuts deep into character, stuff you simply don't do and be the same person. That's really, really sad if he threw away his character and integrity and went anti gun. I don't care when it was because it's 100% wrong regardless because he verifiably knew better.
