The decision by President Barack Obama on Tuesday to reduce López Rivera s 70-year sentence and Miranda’s reaction show that time in the eyes of some can heal all wounds, no matter how explosive their cause.
López Rivera who once lived in Humboldt Park is revered today as a mentor by U.S. Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) and exalted as a hero by local activists.
