In the history of the world, we have had MANY would-be heroes who had to do bad to bring good. Our lives are full of stories of these heroes ... Robin Hood (for one). We know that laws only work for those who live by those laws. If you do not believe in those laws, you have NO trouble breaking them. It stands to reason, that a person/hero MAY have to go above/around/below/side-step a law or two to bring those who do not believe in the laws to justice. Robin Hood had no remorse for bending laws when he knew that it was to bring-down a tyrant; furthermore, he knew his actions would help his fellow citizens. "Please excuse spelling errors."
