Anyways... As the whole world knows, Osama Bin Laden was pronounced dead last night (5.1.11). And the US finally has something to celebrate. Major crowds gathered at sites like Ground Zero and the White House last night and many other smaller groups around the USA. Spirits have never been higher. It had been 10 years of frustration building & building. We all wanted this guy dead. We wanted him to pay for what he did to this nation. And finally, karma caught up with him.
The Phillies & Mets were in the middle of a game when the chant "U-S-A! U-S-A!" camedown from the crowd. New Yorkers gathered in Times Square waving American Flags, chanting "U-S-A!", singing the national anthem. I think this is a great showing of how well we can band together and how everyone (no matter what differences we have) can celebrate this news & finally get a bit of closure.
I'm happy for the families who lost loved ones in the 9/11 attacks, for the ones who have had loved ones die over seas in search for this SOB. Finally, the USA has something to be proud of in such a rough time.
Idk, I'm just proud of this country (for once.) Thoughts? How did you find out? Did you believe it at first?Where were you when you found out?
Jillian-Thank you so much for the intro! It's really ok.
ReplyDeleteI was falling asleep and heard it just before the zzzzs sat in and I smiled. I did believe it because it was a good source (the news).
I too am happy for those families and the USA in general. It is a good day :)
wow finally after 10 years:)! That man needed to get out of our world already he's a monster...and he probably died proud of all the millions he killed in his life time...so I do believe we should be rejoycing at his death, cuz this guy was effing crazy
ReplyDeleteIm glad he is finally dead, but im glad they did kill him and not take him alive cause if he had been taken alive then USA would have to pay for his lawyers and all that nonsense
ReplyDeleteThe way how people have celebrated is gonna made OBL followers a little mad. Idk, glad he's dead though.
