RIP Nelson Mandela

At the age of 95, that's a damn good age, especially considering all the problems he has had.

He lived a good life for him and everyone. Here's hoping he gets at least some coverage instead of just focusing on Paul Walker.

R.I.P Mandela

You were a hero, a legend.

Didn't he play Nelson at one point?

R.I.P. Mr. Mandela, you were and are an asset to many many people.

A rather unbelievable detail I learned today was that it took US until 2008 to remove him off the terrorist list. Sure shows that some of those who US considers "terrorists" today could some day be celebrated as international heroes.

He was definitely a gem. A revolutionary visionary, an insightful optimist, and a powerful role model. You will be dearly missed, Nelson Mandela.

I have not studied South African history that much, but I do know that Apartheid was awful. I'ts cool he gave so much of his life to doing away with it. RIP.
