What I find interesting is the idea expressed in the article that it is all right to commit a crime in order to prevent a larger and greater crime.

Perhaps it's about time that deliberate pollution (as in the pending decision to build another coal-fired plant in the UK) was seen as a larger and greater crime.

And hey - no one could pay ME to go up a stack that size. These weren't kids spraying graffiti on buildings.

If you agree that there is a greater and larger crime here, then this is ok.

I kinda like it.
