It's pretty rare to find someone who is doing something bad and actually thinks they're the bad guy. Most people, even some of the worst in history, thought what they were doing was for the betterment of other people or society at large. As the saying goes: the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Which is why the dogmatic are so dangerous.

I look forward to re-vamping our entire criminal justice system... as long as the perpetrator believed he was doing something good or that it would be of benefit at some point in the future...
