Does a serial killer deserve compassion? Yes
Does an extreme torturer, abuser and cannibal deserve compassion? Yes.
Does the remorseless pedophile deserve compassion? Yes

Can these actions be given compassion? Why would you have to?
Buddhism teaches us how to give compassion to all, even those who do us wrong.
