A crime can be non-violent without also being victimless.

True, but a person barging into a business with their bike, emptying several shelves into a garbage bag, then barging out, forcefully shoving everyone out of their way - that crosses into a borderline violent crime.

I would feel very unsafe if I was at the Wallgreens when that happened. The people in the video certainly felt unsafe as well.

Yeah. Like all white collar crimes. Madoff had many victims, but the fraud was nevertheless a non-violent crime.
