Compassion: Students Forgive Virginia Tech Killer

Realizing that everyone grieves in different ways I am at a loss to understand the following:

[S]omewhere in between all the anger, there are the occasional students who are willing to forgive, and offer their prayers to honor the killer's life.

One such group, called "Eternal Rest Grant Unto Him, O Lord: Cho Seung-Hui," now has over 50 members signed up in the group, and they are speaking their minds. Most members do not attend Virginia Tech, and they range from high school students to graduates from all over the country.
If that is what compassion entials, mark me down as a fan of vendetta.

If it helps the students get passed this, fine. But usually forgiveness is granted to those who ask for it.

Clearly Cho did not. He was too narcisstic, crazy, and evil to ask for forgiveness. His arrogances alone should be enough to forbid it. Only that very special dysfunctional loser with nothing at all to be arrogant about can be arrogant.

So I ask how can forgiveness be extended to him?
