What about the person who consciously makes the decision to become a criminal for a cause they believe to be worthy of the risks? What about the children who grow up under oppression and will comprise the various ranks of the resistance? Should we also arrest women who protest for their right to vote?
Crime is an all too ambiguous term. If all that separates a criminal from a revolutionary is an illegal action and a subsequent paradigm shift then I can feel more than pity for the criminal who gets arrested for a cause they believe in - I could even go so far as to respect them.
However, I feel no pity for the senseless criminal who disturbs the general sense of peace without some greater good as their motivation.
