I believe that Columbus' violence was typical of the day, and was no different than what native americans tribes did to each other when conflict arose. Columbus is celebrated not for the violence, but in spite of the violence, for risking life and limb to go explore and his success in doing it. I'm fine with celebrating him. Also, nice rack on the reporter, starting around 2:00.
