Both of these men crossed a line for which there should be no forgiveness in my eyes. Period.

A schizophrenic can and will feel empathy and sympathy. A socio/pyschopath does not. For me, it's easier to be empathetic to a person that can reciprocate vs. one that does not.
In the moment of their attacks, a schizo may not understand or grasp the severity of their actions but afterwards and after treatment they realize what has happened. Depression is common for schizophrenics as a result of this.
A sociopathic murderer doesn't care before, during or after. They can't relate to people because they show no ability to empathize. They can't be rehabilitated with any amount of treatment. They will continue the desire to kill/feel powerful.
