Osama Bin Laden Celebrations labelled "Disguisting"

[SNIPERFOX ft. Harry P.Ness]

Finally they decided to just send some spec ops dudes & kill him instead of bringing him in alive?



finally.

let the americans have some celebration. stopping this is like stopping the russians celebrating ending WW2.

 

[TemplateResponse]

In fact no, let the US celebrate. fuck him. let them drown out any cries of martyrdom that his followers will spew out.

Now I think Pakistan is in a VERY tight spot because they're going to get the magnifying glass put on them and why he was able to live a hundred yards away from their principal military base for possibly years. THATS going to be the big question for the next few weeks...

So Mr. Seyit shows his true colours, yeah celebrating the death of a man who has dedicated his life to killing civilians is the same as celebrating the death of civilians.
Good job with your logic Seyit but it was to be expected.

I think everyone who hates Bin Laden is <censored because honest offensive opinion=trolling on escapist>
Ppl didnt even know they guy, they have no idea about his motives or why he did anything. Stupid hate for no real reason...
Only think i know is that he looked cool in his photo xD

Even if he did kill someone i cared about i wouldnt go mad, i would actually like to talk with him but this would be impossible so i would simply go on...Even if he response was "americans suck, they need to die herp derp" i would still not hate him since he would simply be stupid, which i doubt this is the case since doing big things actually requires some brains.

His motives were that he was pissed to the extreme that Saudi Arabia let the Americans set up base of operations/business there.

I'd say that having thousands of civilians killed is a pretty good reason to be pissed at someone.
That and he was one of the biggest fund raisers of terrorist camps and he was a hub of connections for the networks.

This is another time when America is acting like an spoiled 10 year old getting an ipad2 & rubbing it in all out faces. also, they finally killed him? so they finally decided to not bring him in alive & just killed him? FUCKING FINALLY.
Just ignore the celebrations if your disgusted by em.

I find that rather hard. See, I don't have any particular problems with the US that I don't have with any other country.

But I can't help but feel that for their international reputation, it's two steps forwards, one step back: They Elect a Black President, They spend most of the time being racist and provocative.

They finally take down a notorious international fuguitive, and then celebrate it like they just won the hosting rights for the Olympics.

 

[nukethetuna]

I guess it's FAIR to let them speak their mind, but I'm FAIRly disinterested in what they have to say, honestly. I mean if the U.S. wants to hold a FAIR to celebrate what they've done, there's not much that FAIR can do about it.

In all seriousness, I'm surprised that this is where the first publicized backlash has come from. I figured it'd be a source closer to home.

 

[GrizzlerBorno]

I'm not American and neither is Mr.Kuranda Seyit. We have lost less in this campaign than America has. They have the right to celebrate.

Also, I don't happen to believe that Death (any death) is sacrosanct, for some arbitrary reason; so to my American brothers...... Go nuts.

i have the same problems.

Yup, no real reason to hate him. I mean besides the thousands of innocents murdered, fathers, sons, mothers, daughters, brothers, and sisters who no one will ever see again. But come on, no one really cares about that, do they?

Also odds are that if you don't hate someone for killing someone you cared about, you probably didn't care about them much in the first place.

 

[FangShadow]

Although I'm american, I can say I agree. I heard the news as it broke and I simply took it in calmly. "Well, a threat to american freedoms is defeated and we finally got em after all these years"

I see why people want to celebrate, but its one of those situation where it should be taken slowly, more like a relaxation of a passed danger than a celebration.

Also, the news cast don't help showing the hyped up people in the streets. I like the way obama handled calm and professional...

But to each his own, I guess we all handle it differently. Not trying to offend anyone, but this is just how I see it.

 

[vxicepickxv]

People celebrate when an enemy falls. Always. They still have parades and celebrations in Russia commemorating the end of World War II. You can't tell me part of that isn't being glad the leaders were dead. The Italians hung Mussolini in the town square like a butchered pig. This is nothing new.

I'm going to sleep with the world that much brighter.

Like I said, there's no way I'm ever going to stop Americans from celebrating this occasion. But perhaps something a little less "New Years Eve".

Welcome to America, there are people who will admit that they will use anything as an excuse to drink.

I guess I'm trying to say is that I hate the public face of Bin Ladin, without knowing what he was like personally.

The parties are over the top though.

Motives don't matter when you are talking about the mastermind of a mass murder.

Yes, lets continuously pointlessly hate different people that do things that are bad according to society

Moar hate and moar pointless hate for you to feel better...
Really humans like that are simply pathetic

Ad-hominem attacks make your argument carry more weight, right? Mass murder wasn't one of those things deemed bad because of religion or some random guy decided it was, but because humans learned that, in order to live together in large groups certain rules had to be followed to keep the peace, and killing tended to break said peace. The hate doesn't make anyone feel better, but is there a more appropriate feeling that one should feel? Sure, we could try forgiveness, but since we are dealing with a person who has the stated goal of killing pretty much anyone not a Muslim, I don't think that would do anything but get more people killed, same with indifference.

Following your logic, people in concentration camps shouldn't hate Hitler or their guards. I mean, they don't know why they did it.

I think "turn the other cheek" is somewhat in play here. Obviously if you lost a love one as a direct result of this, you're not going to to mourn his passing, but I do know a lot of people who have sons and daughters and brothers and sisters in Afghanistan and Iraq, and none of THEM are taking to the streets in celebration.

 

[Lord Kloo]

Well even if I was American and actually found it good that he was dead I certainly wouldn't be celebrating..

Terrorism will never die, as long as there's at least two factions on the planet there will always be 'terrorists'.. Especially now that Osama has been killed it could cause a new wave of attacks and recruitments.. America: Your war is far from over..

As for cellebrations I think its annoying that people consider this guy a terrorist who should die but their revolutionary ancestors are national heroes considering they're both the same, fighting for "their" freedom..

 

[Googooguru]

Justice has been served to the tune of 2441 Military Casualties, 1,188,632,991,867.00 USD and the 8813 Afghani civilians killed in operations by US and Coalition forces, not to mention the casualties in Iraq..

Wow thats a lot of money Spent and lives sacrificed for "vengence" oh sorry "Justice" but yeah lets celebrate the fact that this war has bankrupted america.

Werent the military bases america still conducting operations in the middle east after the gulf war? apparently eventually resulting in the deaths of thousands of civilians leading up to 9/11. cant rally remember the numbers.

 

[Bakuryukun]

It's not like there wouldn't be celebration over there to some degree if one of our leaders died, and if the shoe was on the other foot we would be outraged as well. I guess the lesson of the story is when people who are generally disliked or loathed in a specific part of the world pass away, some people will be pleased (big revelation I know), there's no need for either side to take it too personally, sure we didn't know the guy, but then neither did his defenders most likely so that isn't a very good argument. People celebrate for all sorts of silly reasons.

 

[Cracker3011]

Well, this is flamewar bait if ever I heard it...

I've heard a couple claims (and am bound to here more) saying its just a government-funded propoganda op.

And then there's the point the OP is going on about. Personally, I'm glad he's dead, though I'm not exactly going to go throw street parties. Only person I can think of who's death caused actual celebration was Hitler.

But let's not forget, those figures also have bought significantly more schools and liberation for many of the nations women. It's rather downplayed, but the schools we are building now are teaching the children, and the more literate a nations populace, the better that nation will do and given the natural wealth of Afghanistan, hopefully they will be able to lift themselves from poverty in the next 20-30 years.

 

[thiosk]

The people in DC are clearly celebrating obama's reelection.

The new yorkers though, yeah, no, they're celebrating the death of osama.

Seriously, The only decent thing to come to these shores from Australia is Mel Gibson,

Hey man don't be so harsh here. Lots of great things came from australia! Like... Kiwis! No wait. Uh theres the Flight of the Chonchords! No, wait. Shit. Hey! They filmed the lord of the rings the... oh.. shit. Hum.
