    It’s disrespectful to “honor” the passing of a murderous torturing thief.

    It’s disrepectful to the memory of the million+ iraqis civilians he killed for no reason, the innocents tortured under his direction, and the victims of his many financial crimes at home and abroad.

      Honoring is NOT condoning his actions. It’s a way of honoring yourself, your people, and your country by showing respect, even to the lowest of your members.

        That’s not true though. It’s a way to whitewash the legacy of one of history’s few unmitigated villians.

        No one’s honoring themselves and their country by showing respect to the memory of ted bundy and he killed orders of magnitude fewer than cheney.

          You are confusing honoring him with condoning his actions, please do not do that

          Your comparison is inaccurate because Ted Bundy was only a murderer.

          I’m sorry
