Yep. Personally, I could not care less when violent criminals like Michael Brown get shot by the police. Fewer violent criminals is a good thing.
Articles like this presume I must lack empathy because of that view. Well, I have plenty of empathy for my friends, co-workers and inner circles. That empathy simply doesn't extend to violent criminals who constantly make society worse, those who would rob or harm my family in a minute if they could.
Empathy is a biological adaptation to help us get along with people who are the closest to us, within our own tribe. It doesn't need to be extended willy-nilly onto every thief and violent actor across the globe. That's simply being an enabler.
Bring on the disdain because I don't agree with the shallow indoctrination of, "WE NEED TO LOVE EVERYONE." ;)
