People are Rejoicing!
Advertisements [?]
It is clear to me that there is a general sense of pride and glee over the killing of an unarmed, mentally ill man by Federal Air Marshals. Why are so many people so happy? IMHO, the killing was despicable, but I have yet to hear of anyone who shares my view.
