Can you have compassion, love even, for someone who has been the victim of horrific acts? Honest question, what are your limits of compassion?

Do you have compassion, love, or have you given a thought to the next victim of these criminals?

Yes, I feel compassion for the victims of horrific crimes too. I can hold both of them in my heart at the same time.

Simultaneously, I can understand the desire for the closure that comes with enacting the death penalty while being completely against it.
