Bin Laden Roundup: Voices from the Web

"How could our enemies hate us more or wish us more harm than they already do? In the end, the enemies of America all meet the same fate. Yet, as my wise son told me, 'We only win by maintaining the moral high ground. Feeling good about someone being killed? Wrong. Feeling good about a mass murder meeting justice? Right.' This is a righteous kill. I'll take the consequences." —Gary Pia, G. E. Pia & Company, via South Pasadena Patch comments

"It seems that no matter what we do, or don't do, there are people that will wring their hands. Because if America did it, it must be wrong." —Earl Anderson, Fantasy Frostings, via Twitter

"It feels weird to celebrate a human's death, though I watched the towers fall and I know people that were affected, it is hard to appreciate this action but as an American I will do my best, tomorrow begins Holocaust remembrance week, May 1–8, 2011, how did people feel when Hitler died. This is not easy." —Zinnia Crafts, South Pas business, via South Pas Patch Facebook Page

"This is making news to those of us in Britain right now very early on what for us is a May Day national holiday so reaction is slow right now. As someone who lived in, served for (USAF) and loves America and it's people, this is a great day..." —Simon Chambers, South Pas High School graduate 1978, via South Pas Patch Facebook Page

"Though this is a great morale booster, and has eliminated a much hated despot who caused us much grief and pain, it will unfortunately not end the threat of terrorism. There will be many more to take his place, though hopefully not on the scale that this maniac was able to inspire fellow fanatics. Whenever you have idiots who interpret their religious doctrines to suit their fanaticism, there will be others to follow suit. Not all Muslims agree with these loonies, the actual Koran preaches peace and like the bible tolerance of fellow beings. Hopefully this will open a new era of tolerance and understanding, but I doubt it." —Henk Friezer, South Pas Patch photographer, via South Pasadena Patch comments
