When People Jump for Joy for Dead Boy Scouts Leaders

A tragic accident at a Boy Scouts of America (BSA) jamboree where 4 adult Boy Scouts leaders were killed by electrocution when one of the tent pole they were erecting touched an overhead electrical wire. Despite the tremendous loss the families of the victims still hold the faith.

However, at least one Deaf person exults happily in a macabre manner the deaths of BSA leaders:

Boo hoo. 4 hearie men dead. Good riddance. Why? Because the BSA is firmly against gays.
People like him would rather hold a higher regard for Islamic terrorists who would rather (and do) kill gays as a practice of their religion? Just because this private organization holds an organizational belief about gays and their lifestyles justify in jumping for joy in seeing somebody die of a horrible and painful death? The BSA is a private organization in the belief of a higher Supreme Being and because it is a private religious organization they have the right to accept who can attend or be hired/fired based on their religious moral belief and values where the Supreme Court confirmed that right 5 years ago. This would be true of any other private organization including the KKK. As with most private organizations (except for NAMBLA and it's women's version) I am sure the BSA would want avoid this. But that is beside the point when it's all about the right of a private organization to hire or fire whoever they want that violates the private organization's moral and religious precept.

Now, having said that, we still get lunatic fringes whooping it up for dead BSA leaders. I've already outlined one. Sadly though. Now, it would be equally disdainful and repugnant to hear from pastors or religious leaders who would whoop it up for dead GBLT leaders killed in an accident or die from testicular cancer. Disagreement has its place but not extremism when emotion clouds judgements which is attributed to having a few loose screws getting in the way.
