Yes, but I don't think so in this instance. This doesn't sound like a spontaneous act of sabotage; it appears to me that this guy very deliberately went about acquiring drawing pins to then take out with him and lay down in the path of bikes. He didn't chance upon them whilst out walking the dog, and, should his scheme succeed, I don't imagine him thinking to himself, 'oh no, what have I done.'
The point I was trying to make was there is this detachment that some people have between their thoughts/actions and the consequences.
