I too, do not absolve, but I have to admit I empathize.

Yeah, I empathize. I lived in Topeka for 10 years. Every time I saw that **** Fred Phelps on my street corners I had fantasies of running his bigoted ass right over. But, I know better -- it's not my job to punish him for what I think are crimes.
So sure, I empathize. I understand why he wanted to do it. But still, he shouldn't have.
