[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think we can conclude that people feel sympathy because he is white.  I think people are expressing sympathy because he is young and attractive and these two traits make it difficult to fathom that he could be a monster.  It would be easier for the mind to see old and ugly = monster.  [/quote]

Did you feel sympathy for the 9/11 terrorists, speculate about their upbringing, wonder went wrong in their upbringing to lead them to kill people?

If Dzhokhar were more brown and less white, "middle class kid" looking, no one would feel an ounce of sympathy.  He and his brother did a horrible thing that required plenty of planning and premeditation.  Their weapons of destructions literally tore people - including children - to shreds.  He's a monster and while, of course, he started out life as someone's child, he was old enough to understand his actions.

What's also telling is that he didn't stop at the bombing.  He and his brother then killed a policeman and engaged in a shootout.  These are psychopaths.  [/quote]
