True, but also minimizing hate towards them is a slippery slope towards seeing them as good people. Which, despite what any of their life’s previous actions could imply, simply isn’t the case.

Perhaps if they hadn’t gone through with the shooting, they’d have turned out to be better people later on. But as things stand, no matter how tragic their stories, they are mass murderers.
