I find it a little tasteless to say "christmas has come early" in regards to someone being shot and killed... no matter how horrific the person.

I find it exactly the right taste. I mean who are we offending here? You don't like terrorists being killed?

It's not about offending anyone, it's the principal of celebrating death.

I'm not saying he didn't deserve to die, that he shouldn't have been shot or that him being caught or even killed is not good news, and I certainly do not have any sympathy for him.

All I'm saying is that no matter what form it takes death shouldn't be a means for celebration, Yay we killed the bugger, happy holidays, merry christmas. Break out the beer and the streamers. Hooray woooo!!!

We caught a bad person, we killed him, great the world is a safer place. But it shouldn't be treated as an excuse for a party, that's just trivializing something serious.
