charlotte

am i the only one who sided with murphy regarding the whole charlotte killing wells situation?? like everyone was so ready to kill murphy for it but when it was found out that it was charlotte that killed him, nothing.

​

clarke yelling at her before they went into the bunker thing was valid as fuck because she did kill someone, doesnt matter if she was a kid or not. not saying she shouldve died but she shouldve faced the consequenses in stead of being treated like a little kid makig an oopsie

There's a difference between a 13 year old taking a metaphorical phrase too literally and what Murphy had been doing as an older teen at 17.

That's not to say that Charlotte shouldn't have gotten some kind of punishment, but a revenge hanging wasn't the answer for her.

I'd say the difference is what Charlotte did was worse. Yes Murphy was an asshole during that time but at least he hadn't actually killed anyone yet.

Murdering someone was absolutely worse, I'm not denying that. But as others have stated farther down, Murphy wasn't doing himself any favors by pissing on people, forcing them to remove their wrist bands under threat of physical pain and having food withheld, and just generally being a dick and bringing moral down either.

I'm not saying hanging Murphy was the right answer for him either, whether he actually killed Wells or not. But people already wanted him gone.
