"Oh wow, this crazy dude just killed 59 people in Las Vegas...ISIS is claiming responsibility...isn't that terrible?...it's awful!...poor people!...etc"
I'm like "yawn...again?...who cares?...give a crazy dude a gun and yeah, he's gonna shoot people...and ISIS will claim anything that suits their warped publicity agenda...what I don't get is how he managed to stockpile 29 rifles in one location without even being noticed..."
So that's me and my 'compassion' I just go "their karma, not mine...not my circus, not my monkeys...yada..."

It is one way to manage the actual dude himself. Your using a rather logical means and belief to see it. That can work.
If you were to, or had to sit face to face with one of the victim's family who has lost their son or daughter, in deep despair and grief, perhaps your logical mind might listen deeper for them in that moment and be more compassionate, so you might see yourself more open to something more.. I know whoever you are as you are will be as it needs, but it was just thought that arose reading your response..
