I live not far away from a metro station called "Robespierre", and I don't think you could call him a nice guy. Context matters.

    Context matters, but I'll go ahead and be a moral absolutist here and say that there is no context that justifies cutting children's heads off. Never heard of Robespierre, but if he was as bad as Dessalines, then I'd say he probably shouldn't have a metro station named after him
