Who said anything about empathy with racists? It's easy to feel vindicated over a despicable man's demise; it is much harder to find an absolute justification to pursue it.
I'm merely suggesting that qualifying your morals based upon a presupposed level of guilt is absurd. You're making assumptions based upon perceptions from third (or even fourth) source parties, and fitting your morality to suit the situation.
Which is really what disturbs me most when I hear others calling for blood. Innocence and guilt are indeterminate; life and death...not so much.
