By my logic Scratch and Latch should NOT have died when they drew on the three riders who had invaded their territory (ignorant of doing so or not). By my logic they were legitimately trying to protect what was theirs. Remember when Burt took a pot shot to show his prowess with a pistol? That happened long, long before Durai popped any cameras at the tower.

What separates man from beast is NOT humanity. It is the ability to communicate abstract thoughts and the need for comfort above all - albeit a western philosophy. Humanity is NOT defending the defenceless from tyranny. Humanity is the quality or condition of being human; human nature. As we all know human nature is to kill for what's mine. It has been since the dawn of time and will continue to be so long after you and I are both dust, my friend.

By nature humans are vile to each other. I take what is mine. I take what is yours if I want it. Don't mistake your personal ideals for those globally accepted as canon. You're deluding yourself to do so. Read a newspaper or pick up a history book. From the beginning of documented history people have been shitty assholes to each, often for no better reason than they disagreed.
by you're logic the tower folks were also fully justified in all their actions. in fact you can't say that anyones actions are wrong because they all fall under the rubric of "doing what one must to survive" so the reality is you have a bias against the tower people. now that's fine but don't try to pass it off as saying that you are logical and i am not when your own statements violate the very tenants of your philosophy. unfortunately you also seem to have a very twisted view of human nature as i for one and most people i know for two don't line up with your human nature. the people who do line up with that view tend to be criminals, and the exact same people who make up the mallers.
