[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I understand some of what you're feeling.  I see a 19 year old who may have been damaged in some way we don't yet know about, or under the influence of an older brother or family/trusted friend in an unhealthy way, etc... We just don't know.  But I too feel some concern for him - and especially his family.  I am glad that the police were able to bring him in alive - I think it speaks very well for everyone involved that he was brought in with a chance to shed some light on what happened and for his family to perhaps have a chance to see him again.

It's tremendously sad all the way around.  To the posters who think it's a racial thing to feel sympathy towards one person rather than another - that isn't necessarily the case.  I had many similar (even stronger/more clear) feelings of sympathy for Lee Boyd Malvo.  To me age plays a larger role than anything else.

Either way, I think the ability of people to see the complexities of a situation, and feel empathy for all parties, is reflection on the basic goodness of humanity and the mature, thoughtful abilities of grown ups.[/quote]

Wow. Everything you said is what I've been thinking/feeling for the past couple of days. Glad to know I'm not the only one thinking/feeling this way.[/quote]
