as for those who think that he should be willing to kill his enemies ... well that says more about you than of Scott... looks like there are more Kates/decualian's/peter's/nogitsune's (Take your pick at which you associate more with :) ) in this world than i thought :/  Or Argent's, Satomi's, Derek's (prior to his Scott-ification), most likely the Hale Pack as a whole, Papa McCall's, Sheriff Stilinski's. Hell, or any law enforcement or military professional in deployment.

All of these are people who have been willing to kill to protect the lives of others, to do the hard,.necessary thing, to prevent far worse things from happening.

I mean, really. Don't try and make out as though people who kill are all psychopathic killers. Some are protector's. If you don't want to defend yourself from the evils of the world, join an Amish community, or any of a number of pacifist groups that are quite willing to sit down and let someone brutally murder them and their entire family, rather than (justifiably) kill this terrible person.

The choices you gave were all of disturbed individuals. The Nogitsune wanted to destroy everything for the lol's. Deucalion was twisted by pain and betrayal into a horrible mindset that necessitated he break people like he himself had been broken. Kate was a sadistic little daddy's girl, who murdered innocent's because she thought he might approve. And that just leaves Peter, arguably the most messed up, and yet the only one who actually has a fairly logical reason for killing. To protect himself and his own (or failing that, to avenge them).

When a borderline sociopath is the most rational person in the options you have provided to choose from, you might want to expand your criteria to include SANE PEOPLE.

And when you compare Scott and his childlike morality to these people, he just doesn't stack up. Which is WHY people say he's undeserving? Which is WHY there is this thread? I really thought we'd covered this 1000 comments ago.......whatever, I never tire of it, so it's all cool with me. ;) I agree with you. The Hales were protectors of Beacon Hills. I'm pretty sure Talia wouldn't negotiate with the bad guys. She was a respected alpha and the werewolves turned to her for advice. We saw that she didn't want Deacalion to make a peace with the Argents because she knew it wouldn't work. But she also showed dissaproval of Ennis' vengeance.

She knew the Argent rules. We hunt those who hunt us. The Argents and most hunters I guess, won't kill an underaged werewolf and Chris said that they won't kill them unless they have proof of them killing a HUMAN.

But I'm sure when Talia and her family protected Beacon Hills they had to kill once or twice. Like bad supernaturals disturbing the town and endangering lives.

Scott is bound to kill sooner or later.
