There are shades of grey, but this is not one of them.
Steal property = felony.
Felony = not funny.
Cerek doesn't find it funny because he has EMPATHY for the guy. Similarly he didn't find the Epileptic issue funny because he also had empathy for the victims.
You can only find humor in other peoples lives being ruined if you laugh AT the people involved, without empathy, (unless you yourself have gone through the situation and are laughing WITH them at yourself.)
I'm not seeing much empathy in laughing for an idiot who's most probably not laughing now.
