Well, I don't think it's a stretch. Excerpts from Dan's posts include:

"I have no pity for Pierce, he should not have been where he was. If he
cares so little about life he doesn't deserve one."

"Why do people frequent places that are dangerous, I'll let you figure that
out. My reason is their looking for trouble. Maybe Pierce needed a fix,
because millions just don't do it anymore....I have no sympathy."

Sounds pretty unambiguously unsympathetic to me.
