Because like it or not, he is a voice of influence. People listen to him. They take his opinions and it forms their world view. His opinions are racist, homophobic, and hurtful. Him being gone means he can no longer perpetuate that trash, and inspire his listeners to act in ways that mirror his opinions. These actions directly harm others. So it shouldn't come as surprise to those of us that view racists homophobes spreading hate dying as a good thing. Him being dead actually makes the world a better place. For that, I'm happy to celebrate.
