I don't think these words describe anyone on this list. As far as I know, everyone here was shocked and disgusted by what happened. That said, what's wrong about worrying about the future? Don't you care what happens next? Do you feel no apprehension watching the situation develop as it does? Moreover, what does morality have to do with any of this? Leaving aside the perennial problem of definition, criminal acts are not moral, are they? But, then, neither is politics. Or war.
