Just as a general statement on human nature, it's easier to blame the victim than it is to have empathy for them.

that really depend on the individual ^^ there lotta people who experience just the opposite. I am regularly forced to beat my empathy into submission when it run wild in opposition of reason. even so, reason still lose the battle if i allow the condition to get too close. whether you feel that way or not though, it not your fault and it have no bearing on what should be done.
it all come down to what is best. for me, the best outcome possible is the one which minimize suffering, because we is feeling creatures. compassion and contempt cloud one's ability to clearly identify that most best of outcomes. neither have no place in the search for truth.
it important to remember that the outcome which minimize suffering may not always be the one we feel best about. people generally wanna do what right, what make them feel good, but they too often do not realize that what make them feel good is not necessarily right and very often is destructive.
just as someone find they self addicted to heroin, many many more, having ceded they intellectual sovereignty to others, find theyselfs addicted to placating they own conscience. instead of feeling bad about it though, the latter sing piously of they destructive acts. it not they fault neither though, because they never been taught, nor have they invested they own mental energy in sufficient quantities to arrive at the correct conclusion :c
