Thoughts on mass murderers

Mass murders are probably the most vilified people in society.

I don't know much about the evidence base but I would guess that a lot
of them would have had a bad childhood. They are a product of their
environment and upbringing.

I think the crime of mass murder is the worst thing a person can do. I
also think a mass murderer deserves compassion however in practice I
wouldn't know how I would react if the reality ever hit me. I've never
been affected by murder. Could I forgive the murderer of my child by
understanding that they are a product of life just as I am a product of
life?

I'll make no attempt to see the positive in murder.

The public, in general, have no compassion for mass murderer even if
they have a mental health condition.
