A person’s actions are their own.

Some people can read “Catcher in the Rye” and massacre a schoolbus full of nuns and orpans holding puppies. I don’t hold the writer responsible unless he specifically conspired to shoot those puppies.

If the actual crime (what you listed is fine) doesn’t involve crime, then it’s “non-violent”. Any subsequent crimes committed by persons involved are immaterial. Even trying to link causality to another, violent crime is too scary to think about. Kiss all of our rights goodbye.
