Yeah, there was a lot of celebrating. And I understand why, I was even guilty of it myself. I know how it looks or how it could be interpreted. But I've already seen enough about how other people think everyone else should behave.

Personally, I wasn't celebrating that a man got shot in the head; it was more over the fact that a long chapter of fearing the man who hurt us once before is over. Yes, there is still terrorism; no, we are not done. But we finally accomplished what we said we would almost 10 years ago. Families of murder victims probably don't rejoice over the violence involved with taking a serial killer out of this world.... they more likely rejoice that he won't be coming back.

Also, I celebrated a brief period of unity here in NYC. So many gathered at Ground Zero, were nice to each other, all races and religions, Muslims shaking hands and chanting "USA!" with the rest of us... it was neat.

Haters gonna hate.
