I cannot rejoice.....

I cannot rejoice in the death of one man. Somewhere, someone mourns the loss of a son, a brother, a father. Killing makes all of us smaller. Death exacts a toll from all of us.

But I do rejoice in the end of a symbol. A symbol that fed on death and hate for it's own ends. A symbol that fed death and hate to others to make them useful tools. A symbol that had no toleration for anything different. A symbol that said that if you don't agree with me then you are less than nothing. If you don't agree, then you should die.

The death of one man won't end the lunacy. The end of the symbol, may slow it down.

Where hate is sown, death will be reaped. A whole lot of hate has been sown. All over the world by all kinds of people.

The lunacy isn't over yet.
