I am so psyched right now. I'm eagerly waiting Obama's announcement. I hope he died a horribly painful death, and I hope we get pictures of him.
And
you consider yourself a Christian? I'm disgusted. Like, really, there's more christian in
me, and I'm agnostic (and according to NoeL almost-atheist).
Guys, the murdering of another human (and yes, that's what the man was, despite what ever he did or was head of) is always a terrible thing. You can not, and I reapeat, not, fight hatred with hatred. It will bear even more hatred.
I've already posted this on facebook and will post it here, too:

Imagine some fundamental islamists just managed to kill Obama. And than their whole "nation" (or denomination or whatever) started partying and whatnot. How would you feel? The murdering of another human is never a good thing. You can't fight hatred with hatred.
Think about it. Seriously.
Also, this:

Really, a little empathy would do the world so much good. It's not my call to judge anyone, but I am certainly disconcerned here, too. And disappointed in the American government. They should've said to their people that it'd be inappropriate to act as though it's christmas because they managed to kill one of their enemies (who is, after all, another human). That's babaric, and my standarts for what I consider civilisation are pretty low by now...
My two cents, of course. But guys, stop the hate.
Please. And start with your own selves, before you move to others.
(This world is so going to hell.)
Edit: Robin, I love you, but
no. Every human deserves to live. It's called human dignity and we are born with it. Everyone of us. And it's worthy of protection. There's plenty other ways to handle criminals other than (legally) murdering them.
Also, please don't argue with justice. Justice and moral are the biggest whores the world has ever known. In ancient rome, it was considered to be morally bad to eat dogs. However, it was morally totally okay to keep slaves.
