Comment on Charlie Kirk in his own words.

That’s also not really true. They can very well believe, that what they do is okay but they know that the law says otherwise. They hide because they want to avoid punishment, not because they feel that what they do is wrong (From their point of view)

Yes they do. Unless they are truly insane, and think they are killing someone because they are possessed or something, they absolutely know they are breaking the law. They may feel they are justified in breaking the law, that the law, or society owes them somehow, but they still know they are breaking the law.
Criminals often feel justified in their actions, that’s how they internally reconcile and justify their unlawful behavior, but they still know that it is wrong, at least in the eyes of society. They are just willing to risk any punishment that might follow because they want something so badly, and they aren’t willing to do whatever it takes to earn it legally.

But there is a difference between thinking you broke the law and thinking you did wrong. I am saying the latter does not necessarily happen in criminals
