Osama bin Laden Buried At Sea

What are your thoughts, Martinez?

Al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden was killed by American Navy SEALs on Sunday, according to President Barack Obama. His body was later buried at sea. The mastermind of 9/11 has been the focus of a world-wide manhunt for nearly 10 years. The announcement of his death, made by President Obama in a late-night speech from the East Wing of the White House on Sunday, brought thousands to the streets in celebration, and was the primary topic on Twitter and Facebook throughout the night.

A quick check of the Martinez 9/11 Memorial at the Amtrak Station found it quiet and unoccupied Sunday night, but we all know that Martinez is a town of opinions. So how are you feeling? What are your thoughts on this news? Weigh in and let us know.
