A father stealing medication from a closed drug-store for his sick kid is still a thief, just as a father stealing

People do things.
Can You elaborate on what You mean in saying categorizing People under certain headings which ironically is contradictory to appreciating diverse practices? Not sure I follow that.
As for the example You gave, father stealing from a closed drug store to help His child, firstly, that would not happen in what I work towards. Needed medicines will be freely available at all times. Secondly, if We presume there is a medicine hoarder and somehow (S)He is the only supply of a vital medicine, and the father steals it, the case will be examined by Those who care and the father dealt with any Ethical way Those who care choose. Maybe They will grasp the life/death issue, the love for the child, the desperation, and such, and decide there is no benefit to creating "punishment."
Yes, People do things - but in virtually ALL cases, They have a MOTIVATION to do them.
