What do you think about the crowds in Boston cheering "USA" when the Boston Marathon bomber was finally caught?

Or, just cheering at all.
When Osama Bin Laden was killed it made me very uncomfortable that people around the US were seen on tape cheering in the streets. Now with this I don’t know how I feel. Cheering USA is over the top for me. I saw people holding up the US flag and cheering on TV. I just think it doesn’t bode well around the world. I know I was disgusted seeing people cheer in other countries when our towers came down on 9/11.
When I found out the marathon bomber was captured I felt relief that it was over, but clapping or cheering was not something I had the urge to do.
I am not trying to be critical or judgmental, I can understand why some people might feel like cheering.
What do you think?
