Not only did he excuse gun violence and the deaths of innocent people, he also disparaged the concept of empathy. Now that he is the victim of the gun system he endorsed, you expect us to offer him the empathy that he denied other, more worthy people?

People who don't offer respect or tolerance to others, shouldn't expect it in return. It's not a difficult concept to understand, nor is it immoral.
