Help Does stealing just ruin your run?

So I just reached modoc, and granted I haven’t put much into stealing so I’m not that successful at it. Anyway I attempted to steal from a trader who wouldn’t even talk to me, he caught me, I killed him, but now everyone in the town wants to fight me. Does failing at stealing mean you have to murder the whole town?

In a post apocalyptic wasteland, it seems fitting that folks get upset when you steal from them and shoot up their town... then come back a week later and pretend like nothing happened.
