The thing is, there is no actual LAW that requires you to be sad or mourn or even be respectful when a bad person dies

[Justice Brandeis]

None.

The government can't make you mourn or be sad or even be respectful. Your emotions are yours alone and not the property of the government.

Forced mourning is the stuff of dictatorships like Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, Iran and the old Soviet Union.

Respect is earned. It is not given.

We can all deplore assassinations and demand that the killers be put in jail, but we are under no obligation to lionize or canonize anybody if he does not deserve it.
