“What kind of person celebrates death? It’s amazing how people can HATE a man they have never even heard speak. We’ve only heard one side …,” Mendenhall wrote in a post on Monday afternoon. “I believe in God. I believe we’re ALL his children. And I believe HE is the ONE and ONLY judge.”

When another Twitter poster suggested that bin Laden wasn’t responsible for the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, Mendenhall responded: “We’ll never know what really happened. I just have a hard time believing a plane could take a skyscraper down demolition style.”
