As long as you feel that way about every mass murderer, I'll respect your consistency. Charles Manson, Jeffrey Dahmer, and the rest. Do you really think the judge needed to lecture the family members about compassion for Dylann's family after some of them had already come out and said they forgave the murderer himself, within 24 hours of this man gunning down unarmed church-goers who had welcomed him into their fold? That Judge was simply politicking to the white folks who will elect him again, just as he was when he used the word Ni**er while rebuking a black defendant.
