Let's put it in a different context. Someone is in a parking lot outside a bar and some drunken idiot throws a beer at them, they get in their car and drive through dozens of innocent people to run over the beer thrower.

Justified?

Sure that makes since. Of course. Why not?

It amazes me how people take things to the extreme to justify their point of view.
