Hmm, I suppose in those cases: 'people who contribute to their communities positively. People with families, people who, in the karmic scale of life, did not deserve to die before their due time. Innocents who could have gone on to bring joy to the world and their little bites of society'.
Ie, if a prison is set on fire, versus a hospital, versus a cemetery, vs an animal shelter. The balance of good vs bad people, innocents vs burdened, karmically, likely impacts how someone might perceive the damage.
Others might say any loss of life is unfortunate. I could agree- anyone deserving to die, should die individually, not incidentally as part of innocents also dying...
