Is it normal to be glad or relieved hearing someone you hated died?

I just read last night one of the biggest assholes I ever knew when I was in the Coast Guard died from cancer two years ago. He was not a nice person at all. He was one of my company commanders in boot camp.

I know it's their jobs to be assholes, but this guy went way over the line. He was sadistic and cruel. He had me doing physical training when I had pneumonia and made me work out until I dropped even after I rotated three of my vertebrae in my back.

He even said himself he didn't like me, and he tried to have me squeezed out. The guy didn't see potential in me and push me harder. No, sir! I knew he wanted me gone. He used to browbeat the shit out of me more than you know. He even singled me out.

He actually laughed his ass off when I got injured, too. He was a horrible human being. I won't say his name, but the guy was only 48 when he passed. I heard he died from terminal cancer. I'm not surprised seeing how he smoked like a chimney.

Another guy I was stationed with who was an even bigger asshole was killed in a car crash. He was only 36. This guy was a wife beater, and he abused his children. He also liked to browbeat and abuse his employees.

This sack-of-shit got exactly what was coming. He lost control of his car when it was raining, and he rolled over numerous time. He was probably drinking and driving. Knowing THIS guy, I wouldn't put it past him. Is it normal to feel glad or relieved when despicable people like these die?

    Its normal

    I had the same problem in basic with a drill sergeant...he was very upset when I graduated. I dont wish him death and if I found out he did die I would be meh about it...not happy not sad.

    However there is one person I would feel relief over if they died and that would be my bfs mom...the other day she couldn't breath well and medics came...I was really hopping that was it.
    I think its sad that as a human billing she managed to do that above everyone else.

      What makes your bfs mom so deplorable that would make you not bat an eye if she kicked the bucket if you don't mind me asking?

        -Well there was one time she called the cops on me told them I wasnt feeding my baby and my house was a disaster... so I had a cop show up to my home and showed him a few toys left on the ground and some dishes in a sink ....then showed him my chubby happy baby and my fridge full of food.
        - my bf couldn't afford to live with me paying rent and car payments so he lived with his mom for a few months to finish paying off his car and the whole time he was there she kept telling him to leave me and take my daughter too.
        -there was this time I called my daughter inside the house and she got really upset I was yelling at my daughter (I yelled because she was across the yard ) I started arguing with her because she was so upset she punched out the screen to the window and once I came inside she threw an empty can at me.
        - when my bf went to hang out with friends a few times she would imply he was probably cheating on me.
        -i dont like the sound of a microwave beeping so I always stop it before it makes that sound...she spent 5 min making it go off asking me why I didnt like it.

        Really I could go on and on
        at this point im pretty sure I would dance on her grave in joy.

          She sounds like a miserable old lady. It sounds to me like she's trying to do a power struggle for you. Is your boyfriend her only or youngest kid? I'm not there, so I don't know, but it sounds to me like she's doing this because she thinks you stole her baby away from her. If I were you, I'd talk your boyfriend into moving somewhere at least 1000 miles away from his mother if you can.

    It's normal. The world is full of assholes. Don't waste time contemplating how to feel about the loss of one or two- if you can call it a "loss."

      Very true! What's even worse is there are always bigger assholes to take one's place whenever one of them dies. Either that or there are two equally bad if not worse.

    I think its normal, the world is honestly better off without certain people.
    Life is so unfair, there are children dying of malnutrition and cancer, meanwhile utter cunts live to old age and spend all their time making other people miserable. I had a neighbor who was an awful human being, I would not be sad if he died at all, even his own children hate him.

      How old was she? Maybe she was a bully because she had a troubled home life.

    A guy that I hated died last summer. I laughed my ass off for two days. It felt wonderful. I am going to piss on his grave for closure.

      Well just make sure nobody catches you pissing on his grave. What made you hate the guy so much?

        He followed me around all his life trying to get me fired from jobs, repeatedly tried to poison my brain, and would come to family funerals to harass me.

    This mother fucker named Jeff fisher. He was the worst human being I ever knew. Gave me so much shit. Let all my friends hang out at his place except for me. Convinced my ex gf to cheat on me then break up with me for him. And always just generally treated people like garbage, I heard a few years ago he died from an overdose. And the first thing I said was, "serves that piece of shit right" and I still feel the same way. He was a waste of a human being. A waste of a conscienceless. A waste of the air he consumed. That whole notion that u shpuldnt talk I'll of the dead... You shouldn't have walked all over way one in ur life, if u want that courtesy from me.

      Sounds like Jeff Fisher was one carefree individual. I knew a guy like that once ironically named Jeff as well. He was my best buddy until I saw through him when he invited everyone to his New Year's Eve party. My Jeff was some self-important hipster like a lot of those noncomformist dipshits in my city. He thought he was too cool for school. I'm guessing your Jeff was the same way?

        Too cool? No. He was a druggie and got expelled because he sold drugs on campus or something.

    I would have loved to hear that "Dubya" Bush, Ronald Reagan, Ben Laden and a host of others had died before they had wreaked their horrors upon the planet.
    I wouldn't so much celebrate the death of someone I despised personally, if I hadn't been the one to terminate them myself.

      What about Dick Cheney? How would you feel if you heard he croaked tomorrow or if he got hit with a truckload of cancer that's incurable and inoperable?

        Cheney deserves much more painful and degrading than cancer. How about leprosy; a new, treatment resistant strain?

            Not til they get an incurable strain that is extremely painful. You know, like the flesh eating virus.

        I dont know they said they were going to kill themselves, the rumor went they did, they disappeared and everyone was wondering where they went. Than like 2 weeks later they popped back up out of the blue.
