Why? Save your sympathy for the real victims.

Thank you. Super weird that your instinct is to sympathize with the people who created this monster, instead of the innocent people he mowed down. Perhaps you (Prior PP) should examine your biases. Why do you find it easier to empathize with the family of a white supremacist mass shooter than with his black victims?

Yep, that comment tells me everything I need to know about the pp. Sometimes we tell on ourselves without knowing it, lol

And yet I’m a very anti racist person who has numerous actual friends of different races, unlike most of the virtue signalers on DCUM.

I would remind you all, self righteous egomaniacs that you are, that the fellow parishioners and family members of the victims of the white supremacist Charleston church massacre immediately expressed their forgiveness for the shooter and for his family. THAT is Christian charity. What you all are expressing is simply more hate that feeds into the hate machine that makes someone act the way this young man did.

Of course my sympathies are with the victims and the loved ones left behind. But my heart is big enough to also feel sympathy for this young man’s family which I’m sure includes people who are blameless for his monstrous actions, like his younger siblings.

It’s not unlike how I can feel deep compassion for the people of Ukraine - so much that I cry daily over the news of Putin’s atrocities- and also feel compassion for the people of Russia, many of whom are either brainwashed by propaganda or realize what is happening and don’t support it and are victims of the violent regime themselves.

I’m sorry for you that your reserves of compassion are so limited. If you are a practitioner of faith, you might want to examine this shortcoming and work to improve.

You are disgusting. If this was an 18 year old black man you’d be calling him a thug, possibly an animal.

No, I wouldn’t. I guess the real racist here is revealing herself. Or himself. I’m sure you’ve married one, too.

Funny we didn't see this sympathy in any of the Black-crime threads that have been posted.

Maybe you were just busy….

The downside of anonymous posting is that you don’t know who I am and that I have a consistent manner of posting across all threads here and around the internet universe. I’m a former defense attorney, and secondarily former progressive prosecutor, who has worked all my career (in legal aid beforehand) in the service of justice especially on behalf of people of color. I learned criminal law at Georgetown in the acclaimed clinical program there, and via an internship at the DC PDS. I investigated cases and attended church in Anacostia during those years. In later years I worked with migrant farm workers in Maine, with day laborers crossing into southern Arizona to harvest the fields of lettuce etc., with native Americans in Montana, with a diverse immigrant population in southeastern Massachusetts. I’ve actually worked on cases in the legal system to achieve justice for all kinds of minority and underprivileged populations, and I come from a poverty/working class background myself, from a family comprised of races that were historically discriminated against in this country. My grandparents were lumped in with dogs within the living memory of my family, so I tend to be very sympathetic to the oppressed.

But yeah keep calling me a racist. You’re just illustrating why social media is destroying discourse and civility in this country. And all your hostility is because I showed the other cheek. I dared to express compassion for the family of a criminal. I followed the teachings of Jesus Christ and other prophets of love and compassion. Shocking!
