        Nah.

        There’s a whole host of people I’ll outright fucking party for when they die, such as Rupert Murdoch for example.

        This is more of a good riddance.

        You get the respect in death that you make in life.

          It’s not about respecting a purpose it’s about celebrating the suffering of others, their families, their friends, etc. That’s the part I question.

            One could argue it’s celebrating the departure of another vector of suffering from the world. No one mentioned being happy about his family etc.

        Let me go let the Munchkins know that they’re sociopathic for celebrating the death of the Wicked Witch of the West.
