I think this overanalyzes the situation. The people who celebrate this act are (from what i have observed, not measured) progressive. In their celebration they often express the oppressor characterization of Thompson. That archtype is imprinted on him and is therefore an acceptable target for "progress by any means necessary". This is a newer form of base racism applied to a social strata instead of genetics. Choose a group, generalize to subhuman state, and your actions are now just.

Another example of this is when people celebrated the massacre of farmer families on Oct 7, many of whom provided social services to Gazans.
