What's more interesting on the "good deed - bad deed" ometer is

> Among those who pinned down the attacker was James Ford, 42, who is also thought to have tried to save the life of a woman who had been stabbed. Ford was jailed for life in 2004 for the murder of 21-year-old Amanda Champion.

The terrorist attacked a conference on rehabilitating offenders so there were probably a few more "bad boys" there too.
One good deed is not enough to absolve, but one bad deed is enough to condemn.
This man wasn't exactly jailed for jaywalking [1].
