They don't get my sympathy.

Nor mine either! It makes one more sympathetic towards Shariah Law.

do it once!

Nor mine, if was greed, but a whole different ballgame if they needed the
money to eat.

So not having money to eat is an excuse for theft? Not in my book and
certainly not in the UK where to fall completely through the benefits
net takes some doing.

It's (I think) in the USA.

Having no money to eat and feed your family might drive you do risky things.
Or maybe it was just for drug money, who knows?
It was a sad thing anyway. Each one of those charcoalled persons were loved
by their families.

I know it's difficult to sympathise with someone cut down by their
own criminal actions, but it's not a crime for which anyone is going
to suggest a death sentence is appropriate. So in the sense that
they didn't get a chance to serve their sentence and didn't get a
chance to go on to become reformed upright citizens, I do feel
sorry for them. Of course, I have no way of knowing if they would
have taken that chance even if it had been made available to them,
or if they would have continued to be a blight on society, or if
they've been a blight on society for some time before this.

I am certainly not going to flat out disagree with your humane view. But I
do think that people who do things like this completely ignore the danger
they pose to the rest of us by their actions. The safety systems that
fail. The operations that are interrupted or deferred - and the
consequences of that.

I doubt if they ignore them. I doubt if such issues ever enter their
minds.

Probably right in many cases.

But their "death sentence" is self-imposed, not dished out by a court.
Numerous warning signs tell them of the dangers surrounding
electricity poles/pylons, substations and railways.

I'm afraid that I don't subscribe to the view that once you've served
a sentence you're as clean as the man next door, which effectively
"commercialises" crime by giving it a specific "price" as punishment.
