Genuine sympathy requires several fundamental things. One needs to feel a person is vulnerable, in need, in distress. I feel this strongly for the victims and families, it can even be overwhelming (don't forget I live 3 doors from where this happened). I can't even comprehend what it's like for people directly affected by this.
Now for me to feel sympathy for Matt, right now I just can't. He violently took away the lives of 5 people and devastated the lives of the ones they left behind. Will I ever feel sympathy? Yes, but in a relative sense not much, that equity has been almost completely spent because of what he did.
Is that clear enough for you?
