"Investigating factory farms and rescuing animals" puts a nice spin on breaking and entering and theft of property, doesn't it?

"Investigating factory farms and rescuing animals" puts a nice spin on breaking and entering and theft of property, doesn't it?
- kevinh 7y agoYou could use that same line of reasoning in almost any situation that there are circumstances that lessen the repercussions of an action. i.e. "Self defense" puts a nice spin on killing someone, doesn't it?
- jcranmer 7y agoIt's worth pointing out that self-defense is a legal defense that absolves oneself of guilt. There's a similar defense called "necessity," where you can be absolved of guilt in committing a lesser crime to avoid a greater harm in narrow circumstances. But political activism (of the sort the OP admits to committing) is conclusively not in that set of circumstances.
