Users of The Jamaica Gleaner's website and Facebook page reacted to the news of Osama bin Laden's death. Here are some of the comments:

Yeah, Obama killed Osama! But for him to be really dead, they need to kill a lot of his followers too! Why bury the body at sea when the whole world wants to see the the proof! Make sure him dead enuh and dont spoil my excitement, oh!

A great achievement for the world. Congratulations to President Obama and the people of the United States of America. Indeed, justice has been done!

Not much was heard about him for years, so some people thought that he had naturally given up the ghost in a remote cave a while back. Lo and behold, he was living in relative comfort under the nose of high-level military personnel in a country which seemed oblivious to his whereabouts. Hmmm!

A really hollow victory, but a 'victory' which may be understandable in the face of no other news. It is a sad day when our rejoicing comes not by a mending of fences or peaceful progress, but by the amputating of another bad limb that may have been useful under other circumstances.

When a black man is given the opportunity to act he can do so with precision. Kudos to President Barack Hussein Obama. Bush took so many lives trying to find Osama, but Obama killed him in an operation that cost no USA life. "Semper Fi" my marine brothers & Navy Seals, Job well done. Hope we will try to draw down our soldiers from harm's way.

Well, more votes to Obama! Bruce needs a miracle like this! The Dudus thing came with a lot of mixed feelings from the public, even though crime cut.

Men more brilliant minded than Osama will rise suh USA have to remain alert.
