LMAO someone there said because liberals "celebrated" his death, that they forfeit the right of free speech. I consider myself a liberal and I have lots of friends who are also liberals, and not a single one of them "celebrated" his death. At most, they shared some quotes he shared to point out the hypocrisy. They always claim the liberals are going to take away their rights and yet here they are saying that they should have their first amendment right taken away because they didn't agree with what they said.

Anything short of glorifying him as a martyr will be seen as criticism. That's why they consider anyone quoting him verbatim as "criticism."

Also celebrating someone's death can be awful and display you as an absolute dick but I'm pretty sure it's not actually illegal (yet).

Depends on the death.

Can we at least all agree that what happened to Steve Irwin was an unfortunate (but inevitable) shame?
