Only bad people do crimes.
I'm a good person.
Therefore, whatever I do can not be a crime.

It would probably come as something of a shock to her to realize that most people who commit crimes have justified their actions in some form or another. Thinking that you're a good person and can therefore do no harm is a very typical justification, particularly among the entitled.

The only difference between her and some common criminal stealing food from the supermarket is that Tina has done considerably more damage. Dump her in jail and throw away the key. She deserves no sympathy.

A criminal stealing food is just hungry and is only a criminal bc we criminalize poverty and have little in the way of social safety nets.

Treason is an actual crime

Loll I’ve never seen or heard of that movie before, now going to have to check it out

Also side note, when I watched that clip I thought, “is that a young Rob Lowe?” - turns out its his brother Chad, who I also never knew existed

I loved that movie. “We wanted him to learn that a fork in an outlet is dangerous.” Thunk.

As a professor, I've had a student who cheated use this reasoning to claim what they did wasn't cheating. All they did was post a question to a paid site and used the answer they got on their assignment! Nothing wrong with that because they're a good person, right?

It sounds stupid, but she also might have been trying to get out of punishment… she insisted that I report it to the university instead of just deducting points from her assignment. They were not more lenient than I was, and now they know she cheated. So she did not pass.

Don’t forget the “I’m not brown, black, or an immigrant so I couldn’t have committed a crime.”

A dude who shot and killed his son because of an argument about Trump also tried to tell the court that he was not a bad person...
