    With you. We can’t sit here and make fun of him for thinking so poorly of empathy while refusing to show any empathy. He was a piece of trash and needed to be taken out like one, but I’m not going to throw a party over it. It’s a “you gotta do what you gotta do” situation.

      I feel more similarly to when you hear about exotic game hunters getting killed by the endangered animals they were hunting.

      This got seems like a huge piece of crap, but I don’t take joy in this. But after all I’ve read he’s said today, yeah, not surprised at all.

      I worry this is the start of something bigger though that will be terrible for everyone.

      Having empathy is having the ability to see someone’s emotions and understand things from their point of view. Calling someone out for being am unpathetic POS doesn’t preclude you from being empathetic. Empathy doesn’t mean you have to abide evil.
