Just because you are poor, that doesn’t excuse criminal behavior. - Sopuli

While yes, class inequality is real, and yes, poverty is a problem, that doesn’t excuse criminal behavior—especially actions that harm innocent people. Just because you are poor doesn’t mean you should go out and pimp women into prostitution. Just because you are poor doesn’t mean you should sell drugs to kids. Yes, rich people cause problems, and you could argue poverty is their fault, but that doesn’t mean a pimp who rapes and exploits minors isn’t a piece of shit—they are still making a choice. If you break into a house or a mansion and kill someone, you are a piece of shit. If you target a woman or a man from a wealthy family and rob or kill them, you are a piece of shit—and it’s no one’s fault except the criminal. Again, I’m not saying wealth inequality does not exist, but some people ignore the horrible actions of criminals despite them making a choice—especially when those actions affect other poor people in their community.
