To quote Bill O'Reilly


 * "You cannot justify bad behavior by pointing to other bad behavior"

This didn't work for your mom ("...but MOM! Jimmy pushed the kid too and the principal didn't suspend him!") and it shouldn't work here.

Corollaries

 * 1) Good behavior doesn't justify bad behavior*

* The totality of a person's contributions can certainly be weighed against whatever punishments are available. A person with a violent criminal past can get more time in prison than an (otherwise) good person who commits a single act.
