For me we have at least one family who says they will not be able to heal with him in the headlines and wish him deported. In this case that’s where I feel it’s most appropriate to align myself. Sidhu and his situation aren’t as important to me as the victims who are requesting his deportation for their healing.
Edit: to Pepsifree, I’d argue that no 2 people heal the same way. Some people may be perfectly fine by forgiving him and that’s how their journey goes. Others have asked to deport him. I don’t think it’s fair to use 1, 100 or 1000 examples of ways people forgive others because it’s such a subjective topic. The best we can do is support the victims as well as we can, and deportation will help the families asking for it.

I see what you’re saying, I just brought up the wishes of a different family because I think it’s important to remember that deportation may also harm the families wishing against it, because to them it’s another unnecessary victim in all of this. I can’t imagine it’s any easier knowing one more family is harmed by this tragedy.
Which feelings get priority? Which families are more deserving of being helped or having their wishes granted than others?
I don’t think there’s an answer, and I don’t think any decision should be made based on trying to find that answer.
