Is it ever right to cheer a death?

This monster Subhan Anwar wa held hostage in prison in England and has been murdered. I can only hope it was a miserable end he met. He is a child murderer and tortured a 2 year old. http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2013/feb/15/killer-subhan-anwar-prison-cell

I went through the responses on twitter and couldn't find a single one that was not glad he has been killed.

Are you ever fine with hearing someone has been killed.. any other examples?

Saddam Hussein

Osama Bin Laden

Twink in the future

No

A death is a death and is never something I will cheer on

No, unless you believe in good & evil & all that bullsh**

wp_rathead · 15-02-2013 03:29PM

Personally no I would never "cheer" a death

however I will not mourn for this man- as it is hard to empathise with someone who acts with such cruelty

I dunno there's times where the world is a better place when someone isn't in it anymore.

It's not really surprising that no one wanted to catch the attention of the angry mob.

You know your life as been a complete train-wreak when so many people are glad to see the back of you. He sounds like such an evil brute.

You cheered her death?
Yes it was a bit of a circus, but come on- the girl didn't deserve that

It was one Oxo cube, get over it.

bit pointless cheering a death, woodoo - the object of your gloating can't hear you.

its party time

Gummy Panda · 15-02-2013 03:36PM

Yes. What's the point in crushing your enemies if you can't cheer their death?

howamidifferent · 15-02-2013 03:36PM

Reading the terrible cruelty he inflicted on that poor two year old little baby girl, I hope he died screaming. :mad:

Hoop66 · 15-02-2013 03:37PM

Trafalgar Square, the first Saturday after Thatcher dies. I'd say there'll be a few cheers.

Absoluvely · 15-02-2013 03:37PM

I know these weirdos who celebrate some magician's death every April.

Agricola · 15-02-2013 03:39PM

I wouldnt cheer a death in the same way I wouldnt cheer a cricket match. Imo, neither of them are spectator sports!

Would I be of the opinion that the world would be far better off if certain people were dead, of course.

Jade Goody was mother to 2 young boys,Twink is a mother too.
You may dislike someone's celebrity status,but cheering because of their death,or wishing them dead?

Seriously?

Just switch channels or buy a different newspaper.
Simple.

McNulty737 · 15-02-2013 03:47PM

Paedophiles, murderers, rapists, violent criminals.....yes I think it's ok to cheer death sometimes.

you know Twink is a actually a giant lizard right? that's why she's in showbusiness, otherwise people would think it's odd to have a team of makeup people, its all to keep her human mask intact until the time comes to reveal her true form and fulfill her destiny to rule the earth.

all hail Twink, the destructor.

MarkHitide · 15-02-2013 03:48PM

I certainly wouldn't cheer a death that could be seen as a cheer for a murderer(s), as may be the case in the OP.

McNulty737 · 15-02-2013 03:52PM

And by the way, as for that evil bastard child killer who was murdered, I say congratulations to his killers and I hope they had a chance to torture him before killing him just as he tortured a 2 year old girl. Nice to see real justice administered from time to time.

Lingua Franca · 15-02-2013 03:56PM

I found schadenfreude in Myra Hindley dying a long, lingering, painful, miserable and lonely death. I still do with Ian Brady being forcefed.

Did you cheer Jimmy Saville's death when you heard the accusations against him? Or Milosevic's in custody? Surely the satisfaction should be in seeing them being held to account, as this child-murderer was, rather than their deaths?

Manic Moran · 15-02-2013 04:02PM

I prefer quiet satisfaction to cheering.

I think it depends on circumstance, really. Not so much in this case as the guy was already doing the punishment for his crime, but in circumstances where the guy needed killing, such as Chris Dorner or OBL, I'm quite OK with it.

corktina · 15-02-2013 04:03PM

good riddance scum.

Apparently his alleged killers were arrested not trying to make their escape...

That's not real justice, I'm afraid. It is revenge. Where does that get us?

So the brother of the guy who was killed, surely he's entitled to his revenge? So he kills the two guys who killed him. What about the fathers of those two guys?

Dravokivich · 15-02-2013 04:06PM

Can see myself cheering for someone if they were on my Dead Pool.

westies4ever · 15-02-2013 04:07PM

cant say i'll shed too many tears when maggie thatcher finally pops her clogs.

Is it ever right to cheer a death?
