"it is an occasion for sadness that it ever had to come to that"

I agree dancing on his grave may be a tad morbid. OTOH, in some ways I can legitibately see the cause for celebration in the sense that at long last we may witness justice being done.

I'm not sad when our system works (albeit belatedly).

Agreed. A feeling of satisfaction that justice has finally been done is wholly appropriate (assuming he is guilty, and again I have no opinion on this). My problem is with the people who are giddy with thoughts of torturing the man to death.

Execute him and let his soul be on its way. But in demanding justice for "this monster" some people are becoming monsters themselves.

I would never dance on Tookies grave. I might urinate on it.

No cure for Rabid dogs except euthanisation.
