Reply to "Party Monster Michael Alig (part 2)"

Apologies if I was harsh. Again, I am just sadly drained and disappointed when people draw the line of what is acceptable behavior and what is not morally acceptable (I.E. killing people). It DOES matter no matter how long ago it is - just as much as the holocaust DOES still matter today (and I'm not Jewish and I wasn't there) - It matters what happens around the world to people globally. It DOES take a village. And it's important to have your own standards and draw your own line. It's not about being negative; it's about standing up for who you are and where u personally has to draw the line. I can't say that I can be passive or dismissive about a terrible crime such as murder – even if my own son was the criminal. People I believe have to be responsible for their actions. He could well have been a visionary in clubs or someone you might want to idolize. But admiration aside – you have to realize that he killed someone and that is something that no matter how u look at it is WRONG and NEGATIVE and no way an action you can be dismissive of. It does matter what he does even though his actions don't directly affect me. Perhaps this poem might help u understand why am passionate about this
When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.

When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.

RE-read Miss Understoods words and read them again and think about them
