Why have compassion for someone who deliberately puts himself in
harm's way whilst damaging your property?


Whether or not you feel any compassion is probably innate; if you don't
have any, I don't suppose it's something you can learn or develop. But
whilst I can't say that I have particular sympathy with this victim (any
more than any of the roundly 2000 other people who died in Britain that day
- I didn't know any of them), I can recognise that his demise is a tragedy
to his friends and family. Can't you?
