    Good enough in one case to sing a few lines of "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead" with great excitement.

    It was my ex-wife---Swiss cheese conscience (=a patchy or poorly integrated system of values) and borderline personality disorder.

    The italics in my answer give the definition.  Her personal ethics were like a block of Swiss cheese---holes where there should have been substance.

    I sang the same song to my sister when our step-mother died.

    I read that he's been known as "a champion of big corporations and big money". Probably not a good guy. 

    I don't really wish death on anyone, despite how crap of a person they are. Crap people have families, too, and I feel empathy for them, even if their loved one's death turns out to be a blessing for them. They still mourn.

    I don't wish death on anyone especially if they are "evil" that means they probably have not accepted God's salvation.....no one should die without doing that.

    I feel like the Land of Oz singing the witch is dead ;)
    The forgive, forgive, forgive doctrine is a false doctrine. When The Most High returns he will be judging nations and multitudes he will slay.

    Forgive 70*7.....Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

    Judgement does not have to be bad....it can be rewards.

    Usually when a terrible person irritates me I very quickly envision their death or how I might help them with that.
    Then I feel bad for being so hateful and for thinking violent or insensitive thoughts.
    If the person actually does die I pray and apologize for the problems we had and sometimes I even cry for them.

    So I'm all over the map.

    Depends if I'm emotionally involved. When Bin Laden died, I didn't feel much of anything. Ditto Pol Pot. I did feel a little bit of Schadenfreude when Baroness Thatcher cashed in her chips, a lot of my British friends truly hated her and I picked up on that.
    However, when Rupert Murdoch and Tony Abbott kick the bucket, I will make a personal pilgramage to their graves - so I can p!ss on them.

    I feel badly for them and their loved ones.  That comes to all of us whatever value judgments we choose to make about them.

    I won't feel sad, but I'm won't be celebrating either. I guess I would just feel indifferent.

  • I won't feel sad for them, but I may feel sad for their family. I would not celebrate either. What Patchouli said, in other words. I would feel indifferent.

    My experience with this results from capital punishment, which I do not support.  Every time I read of an execution in one of the states, I pray that the system did not kill an innocent person and I ask for forgiveness of us as a people.

    I don't support it either and for the same reason - a jury can get it wrong. The last person executed in Australia, Ronald Ryan, was later proven innocent of the murder he was hanged for. He was guilty of armed robbery and escaping lawful custody, but neither of those were capital crimes.
    "Hurricane" Rubin Carter was very fortunate to escape death row, and he was completely innocent. Not a nice guy, boxers rarely are, but since leaving the streets and putting his violent tendencies to work in the ring, his record was clean - until convicted of the terrible crime of being black.
