It is a act of unagreed-upon imposition on the lives of other community members. It is a crime against freedom. Freedom to engage in a variety of actions does not constitute endorsement of those actions. Nor does it obligate society to support those actions. Freedom does not negate the consequences of those actions and does not obligate society to negate the consequences of those actions.
Freedom only confers right to a variety of actions within rigid limits.
The consequences of an action are characteristic of reality, of cause and effect. Political or social freedom does not change reality, is not expected to change reality, and does not change cause and effect. The answer is, freedom is often neither good or bad. Freedom is basically neutral. The value of freedom in general or of any particular freedom depends entirely upon how wisely it is used.
