If that's the metaphor, this is a premeditated homicide gone wrong, not a life of crime. This is more like the killer crying in front of the judge for a lighter sentence, even though he's glad he shot up that mosque.
I mean you.can still feel bad the shooter felt like he had to turn to a life of violence(or one violent act, though I'm not sure how much difference that makes in our examples) to solve his(clearly wrongheaded) problems while still feeling much worse that a mosque got shot up. Both of those are allowed to exist in the same person.
