Where is the part where I feel sorry for these men?

Miami sex offenders live under a bridge

Because of laws that require pedophiles to stay a certain distance from schools, some sex offenders who cannot afford cheap housing have moved under a bridge. Five men. The only five offenders who are known in the state of Florida to be "forced" to live outdoors (in Florida). The article lists these men whining about the noise of cars and the difficulty in charging the GPS tracking devices that they are forced to wear. No mention of course of the children that these men sexually assaulted. No mention of the lives ruined, trust betrayed. I don't understand when it became chic in journalism to spotlight the plight of criminals with no mention of the people that they hurt.
