Wait why cant I feel bad for the shooter too? Why cant we take care of people to prevent stuff like this from happening?
You can feel bad for anyone you want. Most people with even a half-decent sense of empathy can find ways to empathize with anyone no matter what they did. Lots of mass shooters are autistic on top of being white supremacists. I could feel bad for them if I wanted. White men’s autism being leveraged to radicalize them and redirect the rage of their oppression elsewhere is an incredibly common pattern. But I don’t. Because I’ve had my empathy weaponized against me too many times on my life and if I can’t draw a boundary around wasting time feeling bad for people who murder children, how am I supposed to draw that boundary elsewhere?
That's for you I guess and thats okay. i personally dont find it such a emotionally arduous task to consider the victims and the perpetrator. Like are the people who killed the Russian tsars children bad? I personally have a hard time having any empathy for rich people.
