Interesting, but I certainly hope that the primary thing that is tackled in his name is reform of federal prosecution practice.


Unfortunately, Aaron himself was the best-placed person to accomplish that.

This is what really twists me about his death. Even in the worst case, activists who go to jail for a few years against significant public protest come out stronger and better-positioned to reach their goals.
