No, per the example, you stole my car, and when I found you, I raped and killed your daughter, I killed your pregnant wife and baby, and then lit them on fire all while you watched, and then I killed you and burned your house down.
So no, were not both criminals, you were a criminal, and I'm driving away laughing positing videos of you screaming online.
You see them as being equivalent, I don't. Whatever.
