I agree. It was an accident, and she was loony. Still, it makes me sick how many FReepers celebrate and joke about her death. Watch the thread, you'll see.
Not much peripheral vision allowed on one of those dozers. The slot is very small as not to provide snipers with a clear head shot of the driver.
Then stay out of the thread, if it makes you so squeamish. I don't recall anyone pleading for your input in the first place.
Makes you sick????
That's the only reason I'm reading this thread! Some timeless hilarity has resulted from previous St. Pancake threads.
"Still, it makes me sick how many FReepers celebrate and joke about her death."
And how many of these people claim to be "compassionate conservatives" and "Christians". The hypocrisy is as astounding as it is sad.
See my tagline for much needed relief.
I see your point, but the word odious hardly begins to describe Ms. Corrie and her behavior. I cannot help feeling pangs of Schadenfreude at the delicious irony of her demise.
I find her odious, at least in part, because I find her not to be motivated by love or concern for the downtrodden, but by hatred. I think there is truly something genetic that makes some people haters, makes them nurse resentments and hold some sort of grudge against the world.
Mother Teresa and Albert Schweitzer, it seems to me, were motivated by deeply rooted compassion, colored by religious convictions. Marx, Lenin and Corrie were motivated by pathological demonic resentments, colored by megalomaniacal messianic ego trips.
I don't "celebrate her death", but I certainly don't mourn it, either...
Look, this girl was activily trying to help terrorists, we're talking about backing and helping people who want to commit murder.
She was no peace activist, her parents words regarding her make it clear that she was pretty hatefull.
So yes, alot of freepers are going to be happy that somone who wanted to help murders and criminals got ran over, though the driver of the bulldozer himself, did feel bad about it, and there are still some questions and different accounts about what happened before he started.
This girl will be missed by hezzbollah and hamas, but not by us.
You must be joking. Either that or you are truly a moron. I feel sorry for the Israeli civilians that little dumb Rachael's friends murdered. Here's advice-don't stand in front of a bulldozer with a stupid sign. She got what she deserved. No loss.
Maybe her family should try the same stunt. I'd put the lawyers out front though.
Here is a thought, during war, kill your enemy. They did. Good riddance to another liberal. At least she won't reproduce more liberals. See, there is good in everything.
Yeah, I wonder why... Looks like she was such a sweet girl...
Yeah, I wonder why...
St. Pancake's canonization two years ago is just proof that no matter how much liberals wish them away, certain laws apply to everybody. Physics among them.

It makes me sick that she and others of her ilk are such virulent Jew-haters and America-haters, and tried to stop a sovereign nation from defending itself.
I agree with you. On the Caterpillar thread, someone posted a picture of her, dead. And made fun. This is wrong. We are better than that.
What are we to make of your sympathy? Just whose side are you on?
