"Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death."
Someone mentioned that they felt awful at the fact that so many people were celebrating and rejoicing in the death of Osama Bin Laden. For it is said in the Bible that we should not be happy when someone is killed who has murdered. I agree. The lives of everyone are precious to the Lord, and He does not rejoice in anyone losing his life, even if that person has done bad things. For "the worth of souls is great in the sight of God" (D&C 18:10).
Addressing a different issue: though we should not rejoice at the punishment of evil-doers, evil-doers should still receive punishment for their crimes.
