Fidel Castro dead

Doubtful, since no government policies will likely change. Is it proper to celebrate someone's death?

ITL - It probably isn't but after years of oppression and murder from this dictator, they are pleased that he is no longer in control, although I suspect he hasn't been in control for years. My daughter has been to Cuba for missions and while the people are amazing and the gospel is being preached there and lives are being changed, a Cuban's existence isn't easy at all. I'm sure there is relief and a bit of happiness that this evil man is no longer able to hurt them.
Thanks for the honest answer, Ann. It's similar to how I feel about it.
I saw some tweets from self-professed Christians that said Hell was vomiting on itself today, and other such sentiments. I thought it went a bit too far.

Most Democrats and foreign leaders are heaping praise on Castro.

Lol, one of the comments from Rob's link:
"I've never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure."
20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye saints, and ye apostles, and ye prophets; for God hath judged your judgment on her. Rev 18
Ask the Israelites, who celebrated Saul's thousands and David's tens of thousands.
OK Nancy!
Perhaps he would be happier joining the NDP...
Pinochet's 101st birthday.
Following the death of Fidel Castro, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida, offered up sharp criticisms of foreign leaders who eulogized the 90-year-old Cuban dictator, saying they had to “answer for their own hypocrisy” in reacting to Castro’s passing.
When asked by CBSN’s Reena Ninan why some would speak positively about Castro, Rubio, who is Cuban-American, gave a blistering rebuke.
“Some world leaders have praised Castro,” Ninan said Saturday in the CBSN phone interview. “Today, Pope Francis expressed his sorrow. This is not the usual response to the death of a dictator. What do you think that is, that people have just not forgotten?”
“You’ll have to ask each of these individual leaders. Some of these people you’re talking about are people that have never had to live... near him, or anywhere around him or been impacted” by what he’s done, Rubio said. “Others, quite frankly have anti-American sentiments and have always viewed Fidel Castro as a person who stood up to America.”
“And others quite frankly are left-leaning -- they just agree with his ideology,” he said. “Each of these people have to account for their own level of hypocrisy and how they ignore the fact that he jailed and executed and murdered people.
