To be clear, I'm not saying people should be excused of crimes, just that we can't always assume everyone has the same level of capability and self sufficiency. Now with that out of the way: Addiction is a disease, not a crime. It's therefore a great example of something which fails your test.

Please null the tone. I'd like to engage you on level and respectful terms.
