i think people who willing put themselves into a dangerous situation deserve what is coming to them, yes.

empathy has shit to do with it. i have empathy for people who do the right things and suffer, not for people who do stupid/wrong things and suffer.

i fail to get what moral standing there is for empathizing with people who do stupid shit that ends up endangering others.

god forbid there be negative consequences for negative actions....

if you think feeling bad for others no matter the context is some sort of moral achievement... bully you. i call it grandstanding.

do you also have empathy for a drunk driver who murders a family of four and gets away with minor injuries?
