^That's always irritated me. Scott makes such a big fuss about killing people in the later seasons, but early on.....well. He doesn't give two shits about killing Peter (at least, he never seems AGAINST the idea, even going so far as to try and convince Derek not to kill him himself, on the grounds of "Her FATHER, her FAMILY...if you do this, what am I gonna DOOOOOO!!!!!") and barely spares a thought for the people he might have hurt/killed just because he HAD to play lacrosse (even going so far as to have Derek locked up......and you just KNOW that that was all about lacrosse, and not the potential homicide) and because he HAD to have the girl. Ergh.

And honestly? His insistence on not sullying his own hands by killing his enemies (who are running around killing people left, right and centre) IS selfish. He's choosing preserving his own relative innocence/purity over people's lives. How many people would still be alive if he was willing to kill Jackson, for example? He just let him run around murdering people, and in the brief windows of opportunity he had to actually put a stop to it, he made fairly pitiful attempts at FIXING Jackson (even though he had no idea what he was actually doing) which led to a continued murder spree.
