Margaret Thatcher's Death Celebration

The recent death of the former Prime Minister of Great Britain, Margaret Thatcher, is very sad and shocking. Many people are taking time to mourn her death, while others are celebrating it. According to omaha.com, a very large crowd of Londoners have been partying in Trafalgar Square, because of the recent death of Thatcher. People have even been chanting the famous song from The Wizard of Oz, "Ding Dong! The Witch is Dead." As a representation (effigy) of Thatcher was being taken out of the National Gallery, a crowd of people began celebrating even more shouting, "Maggie! Maggie! Maggie! Dead! Dead! Dead!" Part of this huge show of hate and resentment comes from the division of support of Thatcher. Many people liked her, and many people did not like her. This division is still seen even after her death. And, although people are celebrating her death, all they wish to do is "mark their opposition to what she stood for."

This whole situation came as a surprise to me. I could not believe that people actually had the audacity to celebrate someone's death. They obviously do not have any respect for Margaret Thatcher, or any of her family members who are in the process of grieving over this tragic death. I really think that this is wrong and disgusting. I believe that no one's death should ever be celebrated. Dying is a horrible part of life, and out of respect for others, a death should never be celebrated. I think that these people who were not a big fan of her could revel quietly without making a big scene. What they have done is uncalled for. I hope that the people celebrating Thatcher's death publicly will stop and realize that they are just making this whole situation worse, especially for the family of Thatcher. I think that these protestors could show their dislike for her in another way, that is not horrible and hurts other people.
