I'm trying to think of a movie or other story that could justify a heinous crime because the target was so evil.
Best I can think of is Agatha Christy's "Murder on the Orient Express." Murder mystery where the twist is that ALL the suspects were guilty. They all stabbed the victim. But he was a POS and they all had reasons to hate him, so the detective lets them all go.
Even that's weak sauce compared to subverting a Republic because you don't the president.
.... okay, well, that and Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. That's been on my mind lately. People have been pointing out the similarities.
