David Cameron believes there should be no sympathy for the dead gunman Moat, he is quoted as saying: ”There should be no sympathy for him.”

Whilst the crimes Moat committed were horrendous, and his victims will be scarred emotionally and/or physically for life, there is still another point.

This is a section of the poem Vultures by Chinua Achebe, who writes about the Commandant of the Concentration Camp Belen:

Thus the Commandant at Belsen Camp going home for the day with fumes of human roast clinging rebelliously to his hairy nostrils will stop at the wayside sweet-shop and pick up a chocolate for his tender offspring waiting at home for Daddy’s return …

My point? As humans, every person has a heart capable of loving and caring.  There should be sympathy for people who reach a broken point in their life.  If they survive this point there should also be help for them to rebuild their lives, as well as the victims lives.

I 100% don’t agree with those that worship Moat through various Facebook groups and websites.  I also 100% don’t agree with Cameron.

If we can’t care for those who most need it, then caring for those who don’t need it doesn’t mean anything.
