I don't give a shit whether the motives were altruistic, cynical or sadistic. Her fucking ACTIONS were wrong, if you fail that test, your motives don't even come into play.
This from a lawyer? God forbid that somebody ever runs in front of my car on the highway.

In that case, the other person's actions would be wrong you dolt.

Well, more correctly - if you sought to run over multiple people on different highways to save them from hell, we might have a discussion there

So if someone intending on committing suicide by running across a highway and being hit by a car was hit by someone who was deliberately trying to murder them, that person will not have committed suicide and hence not go to hell?
Okay, but what about the driver?

No, there would be a discussion here (

In that specific case, not knowing their pasts or justifications, one's a murderer, one's a self-murderer. One's motive is judged separately from the other.

What we're getting at sgtgiggles, is that you need to run out in front of my car.

I would love to. PM to follow.
If the (detrimental) action is the same, you don't see any difference between doing what you think is good based on some fucked-up memes you caught and doing it because you genuinely don't care about other people?
Yes, the result is the same. But one is an epic fuckup (like you running me over) and the other one is malicious.
edit: generally-->genuinely

The POINT, you dumb fuck, is that
neither is to be lauded.
Now quit yammering and go play in traffic.
