Bob, AIDS may not have been on his agenda he was banged up at the time this epidemic was starting. However when he did become conscious of it he spoke out against it.
Regarding man of violence/peace I will leave that to others to debate. You have your view and shown evidence here why you have the view. Some of the people with the opposite view can outline similar evidence for their view, some cannot. However the great thing about freedom is that everyone can express their view.
