The most interesting place to begin about learning about someone is others' reactions to their deaths. Both Tookie and Saddam had huge followings. Rather those who followed them were for against them their influences on others leave a huge impact on how they are perceived by society. A lot can be learned about one from other's feeling about them whether it's positive and negative. When people die mourning takes place where others reflect on how they feel about one's death usually this is a sad time. But with the death of our leads of the subject of this blogs are totally different. Though the deaths weren't meant to be shown t the public Saddam's execution can be found on youtube while a crowd's reaction to Tookie's death is shown.
The execution of Saddam is is not dramatic but rather harsh. He knows it coming and on his face he wears no remorse and those around him wear no faces of sympathy either. Going through the different comments placed on youtube it's easy to see that Saddam was well hated throughout the world. Many youtube users expressed their feelings on the situation with many different ways. One user SoldierofMahdy writes:
They should have killed him like he killed iraqis: Dropped from a tall building or have him quartered by having his legs/arms tied to trucks/tanks.

From his statement it is easy to tell that he was very much for the execution and believed that Saddam was a killer who deserved what he got. Throughout the rest of the youtube comment section on there were none in support of Saddam many of the comments were based on hate, much like the following:

He got away far too easy for the crimes he committed. For those sunnis and arabists who come on and shower him with praise, don't worry; you will see him one day.

Rest in peace? Yeah, he'll be right at home with maggots squirming in his rotting, stinking flesh. Bury him with a hog, like the swine that he WAS. Piece of shit!
pelegmayer:
I'm so happy that he died!I hate this motherf*cker, he was the leader of all the people who died in my country!I wish you go to hell
Yet there are few comments among the thousands that show a little bit of remorse for Saddam's way of death not neccesarily for his fate. moeufsnace887 writes:
Death sentence is awful. Imagine what sadam felt when he was executed. No matter what he did.
This youtube user shows that they are against the death penalty itself but still shows no support of Saddam.

Saddam didnt get a fair trial and it was conducted by US government. Fuck US dogs. Long live Iraki people!
This user above may be showing his support of Saddam with stating his belief that Saddam may have not gotten a fair trail.
All the comments I posted are from this year. A one is even a month old. This shows that Saddam and his execution is still a popular topic even though he has been dead for over two years. It is hard to find comments where it is easy stated that they are in support of Saddam rather than the ones of the obvious dislike of Hussein. From that is easy to conclude that Saddam wasn’t well like by society but he did and still has a few people who are willing to speak well of him.
