it does not matter what happened previously. it doesn't matter if they lived the life of Riley or were shat upon daily. if your decision is to strap explosives to yourself and enter an area crowded with civilians... women and children and detonate your explosives killing these innocents - you are filth to be cast off or destroyed. to justify their actions in any way is foolishness.

if they were going after political figures or military troops i might, just might change my view slightly.

Does that make it right that they engage in terrorist attacks on civilians? That's a question to be argued. But to merely dismiss them as worthless filth is to deny the pain they have suffered at the hands of Russia.
previous pain and suffering is irrelevant to the decision to blow up innocent men, women, and children. to say their pain in someway justifies their actions is just ridiculous. that is like the pedophile saying he did it because he was an abused child. you are responsible for your actions and decisions - no one else. acts of terrorism unleashed upon the civilian population are not acceptable ways of voicing your displeasure at a government.
