The best way to describe it would be, what if it was your brother who did this crime? You would have sympathy then...but when you don't know them you don't care

If my brother did this crime, I most definitely would not have sympathy. Evil is evil and wrong is wrong. He wouldn't get a pass because we share DNA. I would probably view him more harshly. He knows better.

You probably hate your brother already and don't need any excuse to hate him more. How could you not be more sympathetic to your brother? You would be privy to his weaknesses and motivations in ways others could never be (except his parents). People that don't forgive the frailties of their siblings and abandon their nephews and neices, sons and daughters, brothers and sisters are not in any way morally superior, just sanctimonious and unforgiving. [b]Your rejection of them started waaay before they did something horrible and you are unwilling to accept the role your rejection of them all along played in turning them into a monster.[/b][/quote]

Someone is projecting a bit much, I think.    I have not "rejected" my brother or abandoned my nieces and nephews.  Neither have i turned my brother into a monster.  He happens to be a pretty nice guy. However if he at some point he was to become a murderer or terrorist, it would not be of my doing and no, I would not fill sympathy for him--for those who love him, yes; for those whose life he destroyed, yes--but for him, no.     Whew.  You sound a it unhinged.  I m sorry if your family relationships are damaged to the point you feel the need to lash out at a stranger who disagrees with you.  [/quote]
