Obviously, Vincent is the victim. The whole community, which has never met his victims, rallies around Vincent. Because they are kind.

This is the logic of the liberal mind, which focuses on the sob stories of the “victims” they choose to care about, and only those people. It is because of such people that career criminals walk the streets and terrorize others.
