I like your way with words. I still completely disagree with having sympathy for the shooter. Its not just your comment that's driving my feelings and I haven't bought into the "he was a harmless gay guy" narrative either. In general I have very little sympathy for people who choose to shoot someone for a disagreement.
I may put people into different groups than most. I've encountered too many crazy people over the years I think. Most of them are so much more evil than most people would like to believe. Its fine to think most people are inherently good. Because it's probably true. The real issue is the percent of people who just suck, and dont deserve help, beyond being walked into their own grave.
