I think it's normal to have an emotional reaction to certain crimes, which is why there is a jury selection process, and such a thing as recusal for conflicts of interest. Someone can logically be against the death penalty but call for it if a loved one was murdered for instance.
I don't think one emotional outbursts makes a whole political spectrum shift, but I could be wrong
One can do that, and it can be called acting in an a conservative manner when one is an reactionary position.
Hence the reason I called it "reactionary conservative". They are progressive when approached via reasonable discussion but their reaction to a personal position leans heavily to the "make them suffer for my moral conservative righteousness".
