Let's back-up a minute, shall we? No one disputes that taking your dad's car on a joyride is a "bad" thing to do. But to suggest that the outcome of the act is somehow less worthy of pity because the "but for" side of the equation (but for the illegal act, no one would have died) is "bad" is simply sub-human.
