The connection point between "us" and "them" is that what this murderer did is what we humans are capable of. It's easy to forget that and stand in judgement of our neighbor. True, the murderer must be punished, but when stuff like this happens, it should first hit us as if someone close to us did it. How messed up could someone become to reach this point? Isn't that painful?

Yes, it hurts that the boy is dead! Yes, it hurts that a dad(?)/acquaintance (?)/stranger (?) could do something like that. But this is who we are, in our fallen state. We're all more connected than we would like to think.

The way of change is to first get down from our judgement thrones, to change the way we think and feel about our neighbor, change the way we react to evil, and actively love the people in our life each day.

Because murder starts with evil thoughts about others.
