The whole situation reminds me of The Joker in The Dark Knight, when he realises that he's not the true face of humanity, that taking lives just to protect what you got isn't normal. That like Deucalion he's just a deviant, he is alone.

And the difference between a selfish psychopathic vigilante like Peter, and a superhero like Scott, is that a true hero knows when to stop.

You see, you're forgetting one small problem here, which Sheriff Stilinski, Agent McCall or even Chris Argent could explain to you (along with any real-life law enforcement officer) - THEY KILLED PEOPLE, AND WILL PROBABLY KILL AGAIN!!!

In the Care Bear fantasy world that you live in, if you do the "right thing", then everything will turn out alright. For example, Scott's absolute priopritization of saving Jackson's life directly led to the Kanima killing a significant number of people, including several Beacon Hills Police Officers! Yes, in order to save the life of a classmate that could not control his transformations into a big murder lizard that Scott was nowhere near strong enough to restrain, Scott basically caused the deaths of several innocent people!

Gerard may have been prevented from becoming a werewolf. But he is still alive and plotting. Deucalion, despite orchestrating a campaign of mass-murder encompassing multiple werewolf packs and assorted collateral victims (remember Erica and Boyd?), Scott just let Deucalion walk. Actually, Scott and Derek did the walking. Deucalion was just left unsupervised to go be a demon wolf again at his leisure.

Then there was Jennifer. Did anyone seriously believe that after all this time Scott was going to grow the stones needed to actually kill her before her powers recharged? Or did he have some clever plan for restraining her (none that was obvious). The fact is that while he was posturing and trying to look scary, she might have completely the last sacrifices and then kicked his True Alpha ***! Fortunately, a nearby homicidal maniac had fewer hangups.

Because God alone knows what would have happened if she'd made it to the Nemeton and used its renewed power to heal herself again!

Fortunately, the narrative is designed to fix this. Scott did jack **** to stop Jennifer. Derek and Deucalion did all the real work at the distillerary and Peter sealed the deal! Scott has the good fortune that most of the time the villains kill each other for him, so he never has to compromise his principles. He let Deucalion go, despite all his many crimes and the complete absence of any guarantee that he wouldn't start repeating them immediately.

Scott is perfectly willing to see innocent people die before he rouses himself to action. Just like Neville Chamberlain and Joseph Stalin thought that Hitler could be appeased if they stayed out of his face.
