Why not? It costs you nothing to be empathetic of others, regardless of their misdeeds. We’ve gotta do better if we’re going to make it as a society/species.

He doesn’t deserve any kind of sympathy and the world would be a better place without him. If we’re going to do better as a society, we have to call out the hatred and despicable behavior. Not by pretending we care about those knowingly and willingly destrying people’s lives.
