FWIW, I don't believe I have ever "celebrated" a murder, I do hope I never will. Some people's egregious acts certainly mean I couldn't object, Saddam Hussein or Osama Bin Laden, are contemporary examples that spring to mind, but neither put me in celebratory mood. I mean it's hard to reason that killing is wrong, then celebrate it. Maybe this CEO was a complete cunt, whose actions caused untold suffering and unnecessary deaths, or maybe not, or something in between, I just can't view murder as something to celebrate, perhaps it's a character flaw? If so, I have no doubt it's one of many...
This is tangential of course, but I have noticed that in the US, attitudes towards crime and punishment seem far more focused on revenge than rehabilitation. Parenthetically they have a very high rate of recidivism, food for thought perhaps, or maybe people generally think an increasing crime rate is a small price to pay, for the satisfaction they get from imagining all those "bad" people being punished? The glee with which come apologists threaten me with hell is quite edifying.
