Perhaps you would like to identify empathy or emotional understanding in what is already written as above? Sympathy for the victims for their loss is an absolute given.
But I'm actually not convinced that encouraging people to think that its OK to feel aggrieved about someone resuming hunting after such an event, is in fact much different than allowing people to not ban firearms for the same reason.
In fact you could well argue, that the intentional use of firearms is far more traumatic and provides far stronger argument for banning such, but we don't accept that sort of discussion or emotional response as being appropriate either. Nor do we prevent drunk drivers returning to the road, careless drivers or dangerous drivers .. unless they are likely to have continuing issues for other peoples safety.
That is the qualification, your knowledge of this man might indicate that is more likely, and that needs to be assessed and I have no issue with that. Your posts were very sane but some of the following were not.
