  • Well, so is Lee, Lily and Clementine.

  • In short, yes.

  • If you want to be technical about it , since Kenny attacked physically first , then no , it wasn't self defense.

    She was trying to kill him as well. So it was actually self defense.

  • Yes, he is. But to be fair, everyone's got blood on their hands in this world. Undead or not. There are no heroes, everyone's a murderer.

  • Well technically Clementine did kill Winston, the bandit who was chasing after her in Season 2 Episode 1 by pushing him into the Walker.

  • I think Season 3 will just reignite these types of Threads to be honest.

    I hope it will be finished when Season 3 is full finished.

  • Fair enough.

    Especially the babies.

  • But she is the first one to draw a deadly weapon.

    It doesn't count as murder, I never said it did but she still caused his death nonetheless.

  • And she was the first to sheathe her drawn weapon in an attempt to stop the fight, and yet Kenny still attacks her.

    That's not killing her in self-defense, that's attempted murder.

  • I think that makes all the difference. She was trying to stop the fight but he was at that point unstoppable.

  • He's definitely a killer, but whether he's a murderer is difficult to say.

    I think his closest killing attempt to murder was when he tried to abandon lilly at the Motor Inn after she just saved their lives, but other than that, I don't really think that killing Larry was murder even though Larry was still alive, since he was expressly doing it to try to help others rather than from pure selfishness. Though in this sense I suppose the manner in which he killed Carved was, likely, murderous.

    Which she puts away, telling him not to come near her. Which he does. So he instigates combat twice.

  • Was killing Carver in the way he did self defence? If he didn't bash Carver's head in, instead of shooting him or leaving him, would Carver )with two bullet wounds) have leapt up and killed everyone?

  • Pretty much everyone is a murderer in the zombie apocalypse? That's simply not true, unless you count killing zombies as murder.

    In a zombie apocalypse pretty much everyone is a murderer, he did what he had to do. Why does know body ever have anything good to say about Kenny.

  • She wanted to die? No, that contradicts the entire point of the scene.

    She set herself up to be killed.

  • Killing isn't quite the same as murder.

    Clementine killed people too, do you consider her a murderer?

    It's odd, I can't remember you complaining when everyone was posting incessantly all the time about how amazing he was, or when Kenny fans said that Jane fans should be hung. Or do you only think monotony and extremity is bad when it's regarding an opinion you disagree with?

    AronDracula posted: »

    Why do I always find a Kenny hate thread in this section? Kenny is dangerous, Kenny is an asshole, Kenny kills everyone... Seriously guys, give it an effing rest

  • Katjaa/Omid/Rebecca/Luke/Pete/Duck/Mark/Molly's a murderer? Wow, I need to replay the game, completely forgot them murdering people.

    Everyone is a murderer in the walking dead.

  • I consider Carver and Jane murders. Larry, I guess you could argue some sort of preemptive self defense even though he was unconscious and completely harmless at the time. I think he also got that guy killed at the cabin, when my Clem told him not to shoot and he did anyway. And of course trying to beat Arvo to death. If you want to count abandoning people, that list goes way up.

  • and then jane goes on to attempt to break kenny s nose later on in the fight also originally jane was gonna be ontop of kenny instead of kenny ontop of jane so im fairly sure they only changed it because Kenny would be chosen more then Jane

  • which i would have supported him because Arvo s a plain Jackass

    KCohere posted: »

    Everyone has killed, but not all of them have killed with malice, which Kenny has done at least twice, and would have a third time with Arvo if he could.

  • and carley

    Well, so is Lee, Lily and Clementine.

  • she killed 2 bandits

  • So you support murdering a person because you don't like them?

  • No, you would be wrong on that. I don't regret defending him and I still do it.

  • Arvo is not an good example , Kenny's hate towards him was later understood since he shot clementine .

  • No, that is the exact problem with having him shoot Clementine. It makes Kenny's previous abuse of him seem justified to a lot of fans. IMO, it was not, not the physical abuse or the slurs.

  • That were trying to kill her, so it was self-defence.

    she killed 2 bandits

  • She said it was an accident and Kenny still attacked without even listening to an explanation. She knew we'd flip out but she didn't knew we'd go THAT far...

  • He still hit her first... so..??

  • Doesn't Molly kill anyone from Crawford though?

  • Yup. In the real world, if he reacted the way he did, even with a high class lawyer, he'd do life, with possibility of parole.

    Not sure what Jane would get. Maybe, child endangerment?

  • It uuhhhhhh is sorta iffy to say. I mean it wasn't in self-defense and kenny was the attacker so technically it was murder.

    But uhhhh, well, Jane provoked him Intentionally to get him to attack her. Not to get herself killed mind you, but more to make a villain out of Kenny in front of clementine.

    It's like......say for example if there was a dog and you kicked it or spat on it or something. If the dog then proceeds to bite your throat off, technically that is murder, but honestly you were asking for it. If you were Lee and someone killed Clementine. The grand majority of you would revenge murder the living hell out of them.

  • I agree, especially since Kenny's abuse may have been the reason Arvo was driven to harm Clementine, and he didn't seem like the type who wanted to kill people.
