the question would be, why would someone not have sympathy for a murder victim? He was living his own life and did nothing to provoke such levels of violence. Frankly, I have sympathy for anyone in the victims case. Who they voted for or what kind of tacky garbage they decorate their property with is not the switch that flips my sympathy on or off, so I have to ask the question.
