The comment I replied to wasn’t cheering on a murderer.

The comment I replied to was trying to convey that an impoverished person may feel like the reward money for turning in a murderer outweighs any moralizing over the murder itself. That the dollar figure could be literally life changing and they may feel they have no option but to turn them in.

And people downvoted that. Hence my shaken faith in people’s ability to empathize.
