Pretty much this, as awful as it sounds. Does that excuse people from doing terrible things? No. Whether or not they're punished for doing terrible things, that's a separate argument. Which involves a thorny discussion as to the nature of forgiveness and repentance, which may not even apply in this situation. Basically, you forgive the people who did terrible things, not to give them an advantage, but to give YOU the advantage, to let go of it. Much easier said than done. Whether or not the people who did terrible things truly repent, by changing their lives and seeking to redress the wrongs they have committed, is completely irrelevant to whether or not you forgive them.

TL;DR: Humans are fallible, and some are way more fallible than others. Looking past/beyond that fallibility improves your own outlook, not theirs.
