How do you feel about the sacking of Constantinople?

"the sacking"? 1204 or 1453?

The 1204 sacking of the Christian city by Christian
Crusaders during the Fourth Crusade.

"Eventually, the crusaders were victorious, and the citizens of the
city, strangely, at least to western eyes, welcomed them into the city
as usurpers, not as conquerors. The crusaders did not see it this way,
and they inflicted a horrible and savage sacking on Constantinople for
three days, during which many ancient works of art were stolen or
destroyed."

How does one defend those Christian acts?
