Society doesnt miss anyone - wiether they are great or scum. To society there is no individual, and without indiviualism there is no true emotion. You can see someone in the media every day for twenty years, they get shot. You remember it, you connect with it on a basis of it is someone that you are familiar with though non personal interaction. You may miss them from a entertainment or leadership aspect, but unless you accually knew the person you wont miss them in a personal aspect.
