Campbell Reacts on Facebook to News of Bin Laden's Death

It was a busy weekend. The Shark's playoff games, the and then the president's announcement of the death of .

Campbell Patch asked residents on Facebook to share their thoughts, reactions and feelings on the news and to recount where they were on Sept. 11, 2001.

Here is what they had to say:

• Sarah Gomes: I think it's more of a morale boost than anything else, but I am eternally grateful to the men and women who have spent the better part of a decade away from their loved ones. I guess we shall have to see where we go from here.
• Barbara Lenci: Sad. So many dead, because of this man. 
• Sarah Gomes: I think death is, in general, never a happy occasion. The one exception to this rule is the death of someone who rejoices in the pain, torture, and misery of his/her fellow human beings. After all, there is only one "real" race, the human race. I think that the death of Osama Bin Laden is more representative of the symbolism of a triumph over such a monsterous being than it is about the literal death of one man.
• Heather Malamisura: Incredibly happy. Would have loved to have been the one to do it myself.
• Heather Malamisura: The sad thing is that this will just reinvigorate the Muslim extremists.
• Sarah Gomes: Terrorism knows no religion, no race, no creed. It is a mindset all its own.

• Isabel Hernandez: I was home with my 5-month-old baby boy watching everything that happened on the news, home alone and scared with my baby boy, 'cause everyone else was at work
• Selvi Katir: I was at home in Hawaii; my mom woke me up and turned the TV on in my room. I woke up just in time to see the second plane hit. I went into work where a couple coworkers were from NYC, so they, of course, were scared for their families. It was an insane day. We did a lot of sitting and hugging that day.
• Karen Armbruster: At an interview—I got the job:)
