Any attempt to "understand" this behavior is as frivilous as the excuse itself.

The offenders AS WELL as the sympathizers should be ran over by a train.

I also disagree with this reasoning - the offender(s) and those who criminally aided/abeted the offender should be held legally accountable. Laws exist - enforce them - except there are those nasty mitigating and extenuating circumstances to be considered...or not. Complicated it is.
