Heroes for Lawbreakers            
    
   Some "heroes" were on the wrong side of history; others mostly right. Doesn't seem to matter. In response to mobs tearing down statues, we offer possible replacements. Those who take law into their own hands might idolize this cream of the crop among lawbreakers, all white men. 

   For Minneapolis: Charles Manson, criminal and cult leader. May have wanted to start a race war. Followers killed nine people. 

   For Seattle: Ted Kaczynski, the unabomber. Former math professor. Domestic terrorist, interested in revolution. Targeted those in modern technology; killed three and injured 23. 

   For Portland. Tom Horn, western scout, cowboy, soldier, range detective in late 19th century. Hired as a gunman, killed 17. 

   For Boston. Adam Lanza. Killed mother, then 20 kids and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary in Connecticut. 

   For Chicago. John Wayne Gacy, precinct captain and building contractor. Entertained as a clown at children's hospitals and charitable events. Sex offender. Killed 33 young men and boys, and buried the bodies under house. 

   For Atlanta. Andrew Kehoe, 1872-1927, farmer. Lost election for school board. Bombed the school, killing 36 kids and six adults. Burned his home and barn, killing animals. Committed suicide by dynamiting his own truck, killing several others. 

   For Los Angeles. Ted Bundy, some college education. Raped and murdered at least 30 young women in seven states. 

   For Houston. Timothy McVeigh, Gulf War vet. Angered by federal government raid in Waco, Texas, which resulted in 68 deaths. His solution was to kill 168 and injure 680 in an Oklahoma City bombing. 

   For New York. Jim Jones, preacher, civil rights activist, faith healer, cult leader. Led 918 blindly loyal followers (304 kids) to death with cyanide drinks.  

Other cities can find their own heroes.
