That's because many people here support the death penalty. Why would anyone express regret for a convicted murderer's execution?

It's not that so much that a lot of FReepers seem to enjoy the spilling of another human being's blood. Some of us correctly find that disturbing. Feeling joy over death is not normal, regardless of how you may feel about it.

public executions both in Europe and the US used to be top spectacles within living memory with the number of spectators that would do justice to a soccer match

I think you misinterpret the motivations. Its not joy at the spilling of blood. Its relief that in some cases there is justice in the world, and also that these scum won't be around to hurt other innocents.
