"I don't abandon my friends, even when they've done heinous wrong. I don't condone Jan's actions, and his loss of status and employment is richly deserved. But I don't modify my compassion to fit someone else's opinion."
If this was my friend saying this, I would be very troubled. His "compassion" should only be with the victims. Would this compassion be there for the perpetrator of a similar crime if he did not know the person?
