On a Wednesday night in Kuala Lumpur, a homeless foreign man in his 40s threw a brick at a police vehicle, setting in motion the quiet, relentless machinery of law. Arrested within minutes with help from bystanders, he now faces charges of property damage and immigration violations — two systems closing around a man who, by the police's own admission, may not have been well. His story raises the older question that legal proceedings rarely pause to answer: where does culpability end and vulnerability begin?
