What you are alluding to here is empathy: putting yourself into the other person's psyche and trying to understand them from their perspective, mostly what they experience emotionally. It's so easy to hate the other, seeing them as subhuman, like we did with Black people and Native Americans for centuries, and what the Israelis and Palestinians are doing today. And the more we demonize and attack the other, the more they will probably hate and attack back. That what is going on in the small Texas town, and it is tragic. But the adults are making these much worse with there hostility instead of trying to genuinely understand why this event happened.
