Well maybe. But I think you're not understanding how caring works. It's easy to not care if you don't even think about the humanity and life of the person you're affecting. Having something like this can easily cause someone who never thought about their victim to suddenly do so.

It doesn't always work, but it's useful to understand that not all criminals are hardened. If you go down that road you end up with the US justice system.

I don't think they're hardened, I think they're stupid. There's a good chance they can't read the note in the first place.

Sadly that doesn't require much sleuth work these days.
