Why do you think it's a binary decision where one can only feel empathy for de Grood
or the families of those who were killed but not both? Am I somehow dishonouring the memory of the murdered students if I think that someone who the court determined was suffering from mental illness and was unable to distinguish right from wrong shouldn't be sent to rot in prison with hardened criminals but should rather be sentenced to treatment at a psychiatric facility where he'll receive the help he needs?
I feel empathy for both parties; they're all victims in this particular case.
