So today at my school we started to talk about a notorious murder from my area, the murder was really gruesome and got a good deal of media attention, he went to my high school and had enough sports honors to get his picture put up in the hall with all the other athletes.
http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1298&dat=19840905&id=dVYQAAAAIBAJ&sjid=x4sDAAAAIBAJ&pg=6816,549425there's the article on him
So in the class people started to say that they should take the picture down from the wall, I said that they shouldn't because he was still a respected athlete, murderer or not.
Needless to say I was nearly lynched
So thus kicked off a grand clusterforget about the morality of having the picture up, me for keeping it up, the rest of my class for taking it down.
So now I turn to you my friends, what do you think?
tl;dr If a person does evil things, should their good deeds be forgotten?
