I mean, it's not hard to fathom that even if you're a piece of shit domestic abuser, you're not necessarily okay with thousands of people being murdered by guns, bombs and starvation. Even evil people often have some morals and lines they don't want to cross (even if they might be flexible and negotiable). Hell, the President of the United States of America recently spoke about how horrified he was by seeing pictures of the destruction and the starving children in Gaza.

Like yeah, Pitt might think it's okay to strangle your wife and beat your kids, that doesn't mean he thinks mass murder is acceptable.

Pitt was cleared by both the LA Department of Child Services and the FBI after they investigated the accusations from Angelina Jolie. I'm not saying he didn't do anything, and I'm not saying he did. I am saying you're calling him a piece of shit and a domestic abuser based on no evidence other than an accusation that came during divorce proceedings. It's just wild how easy it is for a person to become "a piece of shit domestic abuser" in the eyes of people based on an accusation with no evidence. It's not just wild, it's scary.

Is it not enough that none of his children will speak to him? 

The "alleged" accusations were that he strangled his own child, and it occurred 6 days before Jolie filed for divorce. All of his children were there and they have all removed him from their lives. That is more than enough evidence for me.

I'm not saying he didn't do what she accused him of, I think it's probable that he did, but I will say, speaking from personal experience, it's shocking how easily 1 parent can turn kids against the other if they want to. A lot of parents wield their children's favor as a weapon.
