Of course not.
I don't recall either Fullmetal Alchemist or Silver Spoon opening with a character chopping an entire village's adults in half while they screamed in agony and their children looked on, sobbing and screaming in terror and grief. And if they had (FMA had its share of broadly similar moments), we certainly wouldn't have been expected to then sympathize with the person who so eagerly did it.
I mean - we weren't expected to sympathize with Shou Tucker were we?
Yes - that was made pretty clear. And I don't see how it can possibly be relevant to the brutal and horrific murders of a whole bunch of other people.
I haven't entirely given up on it, if for no other reason than that Gabby hasn't reapoeared and hasn't been mentioned, so I don't know yet how her and her actions are going to be addressed, if at all.
But everything I've seen so far indicates that they're going to just be sort of swept under the carpet, and she's going to be treated as not so bad after all, because she must be okay because she won't kill children (even though she will leave them sobbing next to the corpses of their parents). So I'm not optimistic.
