Local Tweets Express Happiness and Concern over Bin Laden's Death

Local residents in and around Lake Ridge took to Twitter this morning to express their feelings about Osama bin Laden's death.

3:17 p.m. @CHEVROLAAAY: For EVERY American that's happy over here, there's TWO Pakistani's pissed as hell over there. #WatchYaBackForreal !

3:16 p.m. @Coreyc213: Nice game of hide and seek Osama... Now if only we could find Waldo...

2:50 p.m. @SteveL703: Obama didn't kill Osama, he only "gave the orders" that were given to him by his "advisors". Our Armed Forces are who got the job done.

1:20 p.m. @_TeamCaptain: RT @C_LosB23 Am I the only one that is more nervous that osama is dead than was when he was alive?

1:20 p.m. @novabeerfly: @WTOP While Osama's death may be a great victory, people need to realize we are still at war here #OsamaWTOP

12:35 p.m. @greg4schools: @whitehouse Proud to have served 17 years in @USNavy VA-based Navy Seals in the operation. Way to go Frogmen! http://abcn.ws/mhncNZ

12:15 p.m. @TaRafiq: its great for america that #osama has been killed but what about the middle east

11:35 a.m. @DaveEWiilliams: RT @je7f: Stolen quote of the day : "I've never wished a man dead, but I have read obituaries with great pleasure." - Mark Twain

11:30 a.m. @scottrbenn: RT @georgeallenva: As Virginians were hit at the Pentagon on 9-11 & USS Cole, it is appropriate that a VA-based SEAL Team brought justice directly to #Osama.

11:25 a.m. @pupo888: RT @TeeMonster: "Ooops. I should've made that Foursquare check-in private. #4squareFAIL"; — Osama Bin Laden's last tweet

9:39 a.m. @beccaxboo22: Dang if I stayed in DC only 15 minutes longer I could've celebrated Bin Ladins death.

9:39 a.m. @JudicialKangaru: The "killing" of Osama bin Laden has taken away attention from President Obama's "birth certificate."

9:29 a.m. @Christophenner: Osama dead or not, there is still a lot of work to be done. Though it would be nice to see some real proof instead of a fake pic.

9:29 a.m. @dawiyo: Anyone else see the irony in people cheering the death of #Osama bin Laden but yell and scream about the #death penalty? #justsayin

9:01 a.m. @iamrickwatson: Tell them Osama's dead without proof of a body & they celebrate. Tell them Jesus died & rose without proof of a body & they speculate.

8:58 a.m. @ayebeekayy: Why is my TL still filled with Osama talk. Yes, he's dead. We all know.

8:58 a.m.@jamiecrookHUY: Perhaps not AS bad. But still, it just doesn't seem right celebrating someone having their life taken away.

8:58 a.m. @jamiecrookHUY: I am cringing with the celebrations of Osamas death. Yes he was an evil person but to celebrate death makes you just as bad as that lot...

8:47 a.m. @JeffFrederick: Osama bin Laden dead! Wow. Well done, U.S. military, intelligence forces... and yes, President Obama too. Indeed, 'Justice has been done'.

8:30 a.m. @timstahmer: RT @glassbeed: Anyone who is predicting that death of bin Laden will mean the end of Al-Qaeda needs to learn more about network theory.

8:30 a.m. @chung_j: Why is #Osama being dead headlined under yahoo sports?? Someone please explain this nonsense

8:30 a.m. @rbristow: We are all happy about last nights news, but until we have new news let's transition to normal twitter. I dreamed I ate cereal..Fruit loops

8:28 a.m. @JoeBoutte: Hamas slams killing of 'holy warrior' Osama bin Laden (Haaretz) http://ow.ly/1crGoB

8:20 a.m. @arielbn: I have a bad feeling about this whole Osama bin laden "death". I can't really seem to chew this cookie lol

8:18 a.m. @squilky: Glad the news broke on May 1st, and not April 1st. Everyone would have thought it was an elaborate hoax. #binladen

8:14 a.m. @ MsAdrienneH: RT @Reddawnstates: God Bless our Troops.

8: 10 a.m. @derek_stapleton: drinking game of the day: take a shot every time someone says "Obama, we got em, or b--tard". Last man standing wins #obl
