Not to be a wet blanket, but anyone joking about this has no right to complain about the left celebrating Robert Trump's death.

This isn't a good look. It's been 1 day since we were all outraged over #Wrong Trump. Don't sink so low that you emulate those who you oppose.

The man died doing something illegal knowing it (his presence) would bring harm (financial or physical) the U.S. taxpayer (us). We need strong borders. I say good riddance.

It's not about him, it's about your own moral standing.

It's similar to how I don't give a shit about a CNN headquarters getting attacked by rioters, but I still oppose rioting and find the act to be abhorrent. My moral values don't change just because the abhorrent act is being committed against someone I don't like. I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel a sense of schadenfreude over CNN getting fucked over, but it would be hypocritical of me to celebrate rioting only when it serves my interests. That's exactly what we complain about them doing.

I'm not weeping for the criminal who died, I'm just annoyed at the double standard and seeming willingness for some of us to abandon our principles when it satisfies our base emotions. It suggests that we never had them to begin with, and I'd like to think we're better than that.
