Let’s bring this case specificly. If the Bochrim in question were arrested & thrown in jail for vandalism, would they still feel they did the right thing?
Absolutely. They would then catapult into Jewish Heroes who were moser nefesh for the Torah. They ought to proudly and prominently wear a big yarmulka and black hat as they are led into the police precinct (and court if necessary) joyfully singing “Moshe Emes V’Torahsai Emes”, lhavidl like politicians and activists arrested at political protests smilingly pose for the cameras with their handcuffs after being arrested for civil disobedience. Then Klal Yisroel will lovingly initiate a massive Pidyon Shvuyim campaign to defend our heroes.
