Yes One less demented soul that the state would have had to support for the rest of his natural life. No I would have liked for him to experience the same isolation and depravity that he inflicted on those women for so many years.
I'm more concerned about how the three women (and one daughter born in captivity) will react to his demise.

Strangely his victims were apparently "confused" and had "mixed feelings" about his suicide due to the "warped bond" they had with him for all those years according to a newspaper article I read today.
....a perfect ending for the 3 girls......why should they have been plagued by thoughts of his maybe escaping- or being pardoned by barry bama....?......the sob is gone- dead.....good riddance....

As a tax payer I'm glad that I wont have to support him for the rest of his life. The only down side is he fathered a child by one of the girls he kidnapped and that child will have to grow up with the knowledge that her father was a criminal who did some horrible things.
I do feel a sense of relief that the money I work very hard for, of which a significant amount is taken in taxes, will no longer fund any of his legal costs, housing, food, free healthcare, free further education, etc.

I find it odd when folk say they are happy but only because they don't have to contribute to the cost of his incarceration as a taxpayer.
I don't know about the USA, but I think far more money is wasted on incarcerating people for minor offences. Prisons are regularly packed with minor offenders.
Aside from that, as I've already posted, however heinous his crime, his victims still apparently have mixed feelings about his suicide and I doubt that this will ease their pain in the slightest.

Happy? Not happy. Relieved. Yes.
I have looming medical bills and can't always meet my own monthly expenses. I would like to take advantage of continued education myself, but can't afford it. Yet my taxes increase, more is taken from me to support a system spiraling out of control, so my take home decreases. I am supporting those like Castro, and minor offenders as well, while I'm not given the same things that they are provided while in incarceration. It doesn't make sense to me.

When Osama bin Laden was killed people in New York ran to the street at midnight to celebrate.
Someone on CS wrote a thread about it. Some members said they were glad that he was killed and some said the same thing they are saying about Ariel Castro.....that they aren't glad he is dead. They feel no need to celebrate like many did when bin Laden was killed.
Castro never would have been on the street again so being glad about his death is a personal vendetta. People want him to pay the ultimate price and he did. I would have preferred that he suffer the rest of his ugly life in prison with inmates that would have made his life a living hell.
I can't say I'm glad that he took his own life but I will say that like a few posters said, he has saved us a lot of money on his tenancy in prison.
I'm not. He should have done it before doing what he did to his victims, not after. Now he won't pay for his crimes. He got off easy and for someone who was under supervision; let's imagine if he hadn't been. I wouldn't be surprised "they" saw what he was doing and wanted him (Castro) out. That creep is free like the wind now and his victims will always suffer, not get closure I don't think.
Imagine if he'd been let out after...1,000 years. He looked creepy to begin with. ;)
each life is special...there are people in the halls of our Governments that call it collateral damage... they kill because someone else kills-what should we do with them? We live in an aggressive/consumerist system and in that system there will always be killing- until the last person is standing.
