The interesting thing is that Ghandi was actually involved in some very QUESTIONABLE things before becoming established as the man we know today. And we're talking war crimes, Gitmo shit, not some gangbanging.

One's flaws do not make one less great if they've accomplished something important and strong. On the other hand, I'm not sure a pop culture iconisation of a message is worthy of that. However, if you truly think he's great, the fact that he had a criminal record surely shouldn't make a difference.
