Well no, if they are taking property from someone else, violating that person, that's an entirely different situation.

When these people are violating someone else's rights, that's violence against that person, not against the violators.

Those people committing the violation of others, they're capable for that, for what they're actually doing. They're in the wrong.

The property owner didn't make these people homeless. He can't be held responsible for what he didn't do. It gets into these silly double negatives where we're talking about how he didn't not give these people housing, and so what he didn't do contributed to their situation, whether he could have or could not have done the thing that he did not do.... And it's just jumping through hoops at that point.

Let's help these homeless people out. Let's help provide them with housing. Seems like a good idea, a very pro-social action to take.

But at the very least, let's not indulge their violation of another person for what he didn't do, and thus escape accountability for the ones who probably should have.
