    I don’t like framing things in terms of doing a bad thing = being a bad person.

    But they are undoubtedly doing a bad thing, street racing endangers bystanders and can get people seriously hurt or even killed.

      Eh.

      There’s levels of “bad thing”. Stealing a cookie might be a bad thing, but it’s mostly harmless. Stealing, I dunno, someone’s life saving medication…? Probably makes the thief a bad person.

      (If some one were to steal, I dunno, putin’s meds, I don’t think anyone here would be particularly inclined to accuse them, but, details.)
