The problem is that by calling them &#x27;bad people&#x27; you imply that they committed the crime <i>because</i> they were &#x27;bad people&#x27;. And that&#x27;s the core of the problem. They were not &#x27;bad people&#x27; before they committed the crime. They were just people in need of help. By focusing on how they were &#x27;bad people&#x27; you make it seem like you haven&#x27;t contributed to the problem and there is no other solution then to fight them (using violence) while in fact there are many things we could have done differently and many things we still can do to prevent these crimes from happening. The fact is that it&#x27;s much easier to blame it on them for being &#x27;bad people&#x27; then to look at the consequences of our own actions.
