Most people have a moral justification for their point of view though. Whether it tallies with anyone else's morals is another matter entirely. Morals are not absolute by any means.
And in some cases, people doing what they think is right is infinitely preferable to the law's take on things. Direct action can set precedents and change laws. And laws get made for very spurious reasons, including bowing to public pressure or politicians' prejudices irregardless of what expert evidence shows.
And on that note, I really am off to bed - I have to be up in just over 4 hours...
