They want people to become even more venerable to the lawless thugs.

Venerable: commanding respect because of great age or impressive dignity; worthy of veneration or reverence, as because of high office or noble character: a venerable member of Congress.

Thank you for your correction. In my haste to post I used a inaccurate word. I clearly meant to use the word VULNERABLE. vul·ner·a·ble/ˈvəln(ə)rəbəl/ Adjective: Exposed to the possibility of being attacked or harmed, either physically or emotionally: "we were in a vulnerable position".
