"this is so right that I am justified in destroying property, people to get it done"
I do not think that this is necessarily a sign of something "haywire in the mind". The powerful use this logic all the time, and yet it is not a mainstream view that ordering an air strike, for instance, is clearly a sign of mental illness.
Perhaps it should be.

And if two people, two people do it, in harmony, they may think they're both f___ots [slur elided] and they won't take either of them. And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. They may think it's an organization. And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day, I said fifty people a day walking in singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. And friends they may thinks it's a movement." From Arlo Guthrie's song "Alice's Restaurant"
