I think this is kind of a dead-horse argument, honestly. I don't think anyone is going to claim that Touka was right in what she did, because she was wrong. She made an enormous mistake.

Here's the thing, though. Ishida is rather gifted in letting his characters be people, including making mistakes or being good people that screw up. From the perspective of an experienced adult, I can absolutely say that teenagers are prone to making mistakes based on being impulsive or emotional. It comes with the territory, and is part of growing up. If we look at what little we've been shown or told about Ghoul society, Touka's actions aren't a huge deal to the Anteiku folks. She acted like the majority of teen ghouls in the series do, especially within her own family. (Yomo, anyone?)

Besides, we've since learned the Anteiku Raid would have happened regardless of Touka's mistake. The Washuus knew Yoshimura was there the whole time, they merely ignored him all those years. The entire thing was about Yoshimura, and his refusal to bow to them.
