There's no sympathy, I've gotten to the point where I don't care what their motivations are, or that they've had things rough, or their mommy didn't love them enough.
Even with a horrendous prior life, we are not the sum of our experiences, we still have the free will to make choices, and this guy made a choice to shoot up a neighbourhood, kill a cop, and burn down a house killing himself.
I of course put a rider on people with actual mental illnesses, but I don't believe that everyone that commits crimes are mentally ill, I believe that they are selfish, greedy people, but they mad a choice.
There is very little justification for criminal activity in my mind, and if your going to make that call, then I hope, wish that the justice system would come down on you full force.
