To argue from mercy to sin is the devil's logic

Mercy should make us ashamed, wrath afraid to sin

Sin is the dare of God's justice, the rape of His mercy, the jeer of His patience, the slight of His power, and the contempt of His love

Nothing emboldens sin so much as mercy

The essence of justice is mercy.

You showed no mercy to your victims. In my view since then you have shown no contrition or remorse.
