If I'm called a socialist for trying to stand up for a father who lost his daughter in a terribly public, tragic accident, then so be it.
This man was not responsible for the fact that Massachusettes authorities were (are) in the pockets of the Kennedys and did not file charges against Teddy. He is the victim and you are treating him like he is a conspirator.
You may ask why he didn't raise a stink and try to inflict the damage on the Kennedy family that would make you happy. He had just lost a daughter (can you imagine going to bed every night with the thought of your little girl gasping for her last breath). It was a different time and he was certainly ashamed of the circumstances surrounding the "accident"- (Married men out partying with young girls- not their wives). He was grieving and you wanted him to place his shame out on parade so you could score some political hits!!!
This poor man coped the best way that he knew how and to spit on his grave is dispicable.

I won't spit on his grave --- but I think they should have not helped Kennedy get by with murder. I can see how they might have just wanted to keep their daughter's name from being completely slimed --- which would have happened but they also prevented justice for what happened.

I certainly did nothing to spit on Kopechne's grave. You were spitting on Thurmond's, and it was inappropriate and unconnected. Lecture yourself.
