Kenny and the Stranger
People usually justify Kennys reckless behaviour because of the loss of his family and later girlfriend. Kenny lost so much and it ate him from inside and he became unstable and even violent.
The Stranger lost his family too. First his son to the woods, and when they went searching for him, Kenny (and possibly Lee) decided to steal Strangers supplies from the car. Now, after Stranger lost his son, his wife got so angry at him and called him a monster, but finding that their supplies were stolen broke the camel's back. She started to blame her husband more and more as they got hungrier, and eventually she left him with the daughter. Later Stranger found her wife and daugher dead on side of a road and that broke him inside. After he heard how Lee treated Clementine and what danger he put her into, Stranger decided to kidnap Clementine for her own safety. This ultimately lead to Lee getting bit (because during kidnapping, Clementine dropped her hat and when Lee was picking up her walkie talkie, he got bit.)
Now there are many people who side with Kenny on this eternal fight between subjective moral value thingy, and i just decided to bring other perspective to it.
Do you think that the loss of Strangers family, justified his actions? Because if it didnt, then neither did Kennys loss justify his reckless behaviour and murders/caused deaths.
There are only so many things you can blame on loss of family/close ones, until you have to face the facts that there is something wrong with that person and it cant be fixed.

"Anybody that gets between me and this girl is gonna end up DEAD!" -Lee
You just have to start stuff don't you. :P
I just wish Kenny's death would've happened sooner. Like when the group is being escorted to Howe's Hardware, just let Kenny go through with his hideous plan and get himself killed. Apparently, the door was a Kenny fan too XD
Sorry, i cant help it.
Interesting.
I also just hate how he can never be a team player. In my playthrough, we all voted to go south and he told Clem she embarassed him out there..
LIKE WHAT THE FUHH BRUHH?
I think originally, the choice was supposed to be Kenny and Luke. But the writers fucked up in big time in making Luke seem like a flawed human being and threw in Jane with the little screentime she had.
Jane - 2 full episodes, a couple of line in 1 episode
Luke - 4 Full Episodes, half an episode (his death scene)
Kenny - 9 full episodes..
I wanted more of Jane ;'(
Jane lost her sister, that does not justify that she robs Arvo, brings the ambush upon the group, abandons the baby in a car and povokes a unstable man.
Listen, i think this discussion is pointless with the word "justice" it's the zombie apocalypse and in the end the choice is more about which maniac you thought was right; Kenny o Jane.
As for your topic, no the stranger loosing his family did no justify him kidnapping a little girl.
It's interesting how Kenny is in the same position as the stranger is in when Clem shoots him.
Well, Kenny is in the same position when he murders Jane
And how they are not when Lee strangles the stranger and Jane practices sword swallowing
