Why would you put it on a smaller level? Why would you even want to? Why would people who witnessed a state sanctioned execution chant "USA?" I know you are just trying to make a comparission, but I don't think one can be made on this level. If that "family" of the hypothetical murder victim wanted to celebrate when leaving the death chamber, by all means it would be within their rights to do so.
Something of this nature just cannot be compared to anything smaller in scale. Yes, it was a mans life. I thank the Navy Seals and support teams who made sure it came to an end. What's the cheesey quote I see all the time? "It's God's job to pass judgement, it's the Soldier/Marine/Elite Special Ops Team's job to arrange the meeting." Yup, that one. I like that one today.
