Okay. One can put down a rabid animal and still pity it for the tragedy it is. Understanding what drove it to harmful behavior and trying to cure and prevent rabies doesn't mean we don't put down rabid animals, neither does it make someone counter revolutionary or weak to pity reactionaries driven to psychosis by the material conditions around them. They're still culpable, and they're still legitimate targets of self-defensive violence. But they're also human, and I'd wish for a world where they didn't have to suffer that way. Shame on me I guess.
