TheBanyanTree: Rest in Peace, Richard

[B Drummond]

--

Only after Eric Robert Rudolph confessed did people begin to trust  
you again.

Only after lawsuits did people begin to respect you again.

Only after diabetes killed you did Atlanta's news agencies treat you  
like a hero, just barely admitting the wrongs they did to you by  
slandering your name with their speculations, false statements and  
exaggerations.  They pinned a black "T" on your chest and made you  
out to be something you weren't.

We know now that the press got it right the first time when they  
hailed you a hero.

You can sleep peacefully now, Richard.  The truth has got your back.
