When you justify illegal acts with “vulnerable” and “Victim” you are enforcing the idea of permissiveness. If stealing and vetting high are ok “because they are victims” than murdering is too? No dude. We are adults. I know people living in their cars right now that don’t use drugs nor steal.
We are nott going to fix this problem with pitty. Tbf the only way to really fix it, for future generations, is by providing access to food and education to everyone.
Recognizing when people need help and support doesn’t mean you are trying to justify illegal acts. No one said stealing is ok. Just because you understand the root of the problem doesn’t mean you are giving it a pass. This is why people with mental disorders still face consequences for their actions. However, if rehabilitation is something you value, then it is important to recognize that their needs may be different than other people’s for rehabilitation to be successful. Punishment with no attempt at helping a person overcome their afflictions is just a guarantee that they will act out again.
