Re: Chopper Read passes away

Saw a few people come out on TV this morning and say basically Chopper was a bullsh1t artist and anything he said over the years, perhaps even last night was a crock of sh1t. At one point he claimed to have killed 12 people, then 10, and last night four....a few weeks ago in the paper he said he'd thought long and hard about dying, last night he said he hadn't, etc. The lies just kept coming.
I also don't get all the glorification of this man either. Granted he had a sh1thouse upbringing, but so have a lot of people. He has (apparently) killed and that is in itself disgusting and evil behaviour.
To easy to sit in judgment from a position of detached and dissimilar circumstances. There are always alternative choices some with moralistically better outcomes and and some worse. Perhaps in the end the real measure of maturity and humanity is whether one is able to accept his/her mistakes and contribute in a positive way regardless. But even that is subjective and limited by each individuals input and opportunity. RIP Chopper
