What’s funny is everybody seems to think “it’s over” but really it has just begun. No one really knows if he was the leading force behind the attacks on the twin towers they don’t have proof. And with the shadyness that goes on within the government we will never know whats the truth. I disagree with celebrating anyone’s demise thats awful and the way they carried out his death was very sloppy. He has a following a dedicated following that’s what we should fear the most.
