> [@Illuminatiprimus](#): > > Possibly, however The latin guy had killed him for money, and for all we know it’s not the first time he’s done it either. He clearly wasn’t a good person. Sam, on the other hand, was, and only killed him to avenge his own death (and potentially protect his girlfriend). So I guess it’s what school of theology you come from that that would be okay, it’s not the like the bible is flat out against killing other people. Ah, I looked at it form European theology, where if one type of killing (for money) is wrong (and the intent was only to rob, not to kill, it went bad), then the other type of killing (for revenge) is also wrong. We don’t share the American attitude that killing for revenge is just, or in accordance with the Bible. Even the Old Testament is a legal code, not self-justice as Sam does. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/unexpected-unfairness-in-movies-probable-spoilers/477031)._
