[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if some of you expressing sympathy for DT also sympathize with teens in the 13-16 range who commit murder?

Also, what are your thoughts on Letalvis D. Cobbins, one of the men convicted in the deaths of Channon Gail Christian and Hugh Christopher Newsom? All signs pointed to Letalvis being influenced by his older (and criminal) brother to commit the crime.

Do you feel similar sympathy for him and his lost promise?

Your questions implies that the feeling is wrong or not allowable.  Neither is correct.

Putting that aside, I usually do feel sadness when I seen instances of wasted youth (esp when the person seemed "normal" prior to the crime).  This is so especially when that young person has been influenced by an adult.  That does not excuse the behavior or mean that severe punishment is not warranted.  The feelings are not mutually exclusive.  You can desire one (punishment) and still have feelings of sadness or sympathy (as you continue to state it).

I don't see why some of you don't understand that.  Or why you feel that that is a bad thing.[/quote]
