And so, in your world, if I rob a bank and give all the money to really good charities that measurably make peoples' live better, it's not illegal?

Or if I kill a known pedophile/child rapist to keep them from hurting more children, is that not illegal?

Is that what you believe? If so, why bother having laws at all? We just need to ask our modern-day Solomon -- akira2501, that is -- if something can be justified, and as such, is legal. Or am I missing something?
