Because he’s not their relative or friend - and if he could have them killed to sell their organs for a dollar, he’d do so without blinking.
I see, yet I feel that if this was another celebrity, it would not be called dumb. If Julian Assange had been injured I believe the reaction would be different. Even if the bandaid looked the same.
But, again, just to be clear - having overbearing sympathy with someone who promotes violence and hatred after he got away with a scratch is at best questionable. Supporting such a person and believing that they will do them good is awful and naive. Being said person is... morally wrong, to say the least.
I really don't think it would happen with another celebrity and if it did I would consider those people cultish too.
