33. That's because this is a straw man.
I've heard some people express mild disappointment that he couldn't be captured and tried, but everyone acknowledges that would be a difficult thing to do. Others have stated that it's theoretically wrong to celebrate death, though usually this is followed by a qualifier that they will not mourn his death either. Yet another group, the most negative in response to the news, are upset that this might be seen as "justifying" the war on terror or somehow be used to continue it further. It's only the last group that is really "upset" at the news, and none of them are really upset about him being killed but the possible implications of that. The target of the OP's wrath is some carnival fun-house version of the combination of the three, a super-Hippie that hates America for, among other things, murdering that poor innocent little Bin Laden chap.
