Not meaning to sound cold, but when a person dedicates his life to spouting hate, I have a difficult time being sympathetic

Will be interesting to see what happens at his funeral.

Do you suppose there will be protesting at his funeral?
Agreed.Personally I hope no one shows up to the funeral except for his family. No protests, no media, no nothing. Let this man go down as merely a footnote to when one thinks of contempt. Show the family the respect and privacy he never gave other grieving families.
A lot of peeing which won't pass for watering flowers. Actually, I hope no one does anything at all. Indifference is appropriate when there's no great loss. Meanwhile, what happens with the remaining members of that "church" will be worth noting. My prediction is that perhaps some of them will have a few hateful, paranoid things to say, and then wander off aimlessly since the snake is now without a head.Will be interesting to see what happens at his funeral.
I agree for a different reason - I'd like it to show no one really cared about him.Personally I hope no one shows up to the funeral except for his family. No protests, no media, no nothing.

I truly hope that it's nothing beyond friends/family. He was a troubled, twisted man; reflecting his behaviour will do nothing but prove his methods are acceptable, and will not affect him at all. It would only stain the soul/karma/whatever you choose of the person who acts badly.Will be interesting to see what happens at his funeral.
Mine too. Can't feel bad for this dude, and can't help but think that the world got a bit brighter without this hate-spewing a**hat in it.My very first thought was, "Good."
