There were Americans who actually celebrated the assassination

I was a young 25 yr old at the time - raised in the backwoods of Vernon Parish - was raised with good old god-fearing honest people.
Took no notice of 'politics' as it is known today. Thought ALL people were of similar thought processing as myself - and my immediate cultural surrounding. When I went off to college in56, I was too busy to party - never went to one party my entire time except for one hosted by the Pershing Rifles Drill Team which I joined. While there, I took maximum hours every semester, except for the fall semester after getting married in summer of '57, and worked part time jobs after hours to just pay the bills.
My first misgivings about people wrt politics in general started that day when the assassination was announced.
There was a group of computer techs that were nearby my location when the announcement was made. I had been lurking around the outskirts of their political discussion during our break-times and lunch period - they were championing someone by the name of John Birch. Had never heard of him or his 'society,' but was interested the the very vocal discussions they were having.
After the announcement, they began a low-level celebration - saying things that stunned me to my core, like having to prepare for a good alibi if the FBI came around asking questions - This was my first real-life introduction to fringe politics.
Never spoke to one of them again, but I was grateful for one thing - they showed me the world was not made up exclusively of right-thinking people. I began looking for deeper insights to what people said.
