Secondly, the correct reaction, in my eyes, is go on as usual. By celebrating like a bunch of rabid animals, just confirms how much he actually hurt, and how much of an impact he actually had. It shows that the terrorist did win. I doubt, that the families that were truly impacted by this, were the ones scaling trees in front of the white house, and shotguning beers in Times Square.
However I am sure a bunch of them will change their facebook picture, to show their support to Obama.

I'm not sure why someone who wants to celebrate the end of a murderous terrorist is a college d-bag. What does that even mean anyway? Anyone who attends post secondary and wants to take part in a rally is a loser in your eyes?
Most people I saw out there on tv were not shotgunning beers in times square. They were 20-30 who had very emotional and heartfelt things to say about the whole situation and wanted to go out and be happy that there is some degree of closure and justification to the whole event now. If it was your city that had been torn apart by this guys you can bet a ton of people would be out there peacefully letting off some steam.
The fact you claim times square was the major place of celebration gives me a pretty clear indication that you didn't even watch more then a few seconds of clips on the evening news anyway. If you're basing your assumption on something fox news shows you really need to start widening your window to the world.
