there are people that are good, but either mislead or on the wrong path of some sort. in this case, the person lacks certain part of human-ness called empathy, which you call out; that&#x27;s a clinical condition called sociopathy. you may notice the irony of invoking empathy on someone who doesn&#x27;t have it and likely doesn&#x27;t understand it, having never felt it. high functioning sociopaths can be a very serious danger to any society they&#x27;re in and you have a great example here.
