But who decides what is evil? To me, Elwing's actions are just as bad as the Feanorians. She chose to abandon her children to what would have been their death if it wasn't for 'evil' Matimo and Maglor. To my mind there is little difference between somebody who kills children and somebody who abandons two children to die at the hand of said killers so that they can keep a jewel that doesn't even belong to them.

Boromir - noise pollution (when he blows his horn when starting from Rivendell (everyone around reacts too!)
Gollum - Illegal hunting in Ithilien
Sam has to be added to the list of criminals assaulting an endangered species - Shelob. It is even said she was the last and greatest of her kind!
Thingol and a host of other Elves - racist remarks.

Dwarves - for creating a coded language that no one else understands - conspiracy!
Thrain - for carving out the poor Mountain's heart.
