[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will admit that I always feel a small tang of sorrow for the shooter.  At 18, especially after being brainwashed and bought into an ideology, you don't realize how your life will now be over.  You don't have the benefit of 40-yo you saying, hey dude, this isn't worth it.  No one wants to be in prison for 70 years.

He totally understood his actions that day.  Not excusing that.  But just think back to the dumb stuff I did at 18 and not realizing the potentially long-term consequences of those things.

It's OK to have these feelings for the perps.  As long as your feelings for the victims are 100x stronger.[/quote]

You feel sorrow because you think his life as white male had more potential and promise and value than those of the elderly Black people he killed. You hate seeing a white boy’s life destroyed by his own actions more than you hate seeing an innocent Black person’s life taken by his actions. [/quote]

Those with empathy like this are some of the LEAST likely people to be harboring racist feelings.  So stop making assumptions.  I am one of them and I feel this same way for all sorts of people who do wrong, regardless of their race.[/quote]
