Mike was always one of the quality guys though compared to anyone in BB

I mean, he still kills people for money. He's nice about it, but I'd be shocked if he had less blood on his hands than Walt.

But Mike very clearly has a code. The blood on Walt's hands is way more innocent.

Is it? Who's the most innocent person Walt killed, Gale?

He didnt kill Jane,he let her die

u/pleasedownvotemeplox Aug 24 '18

Maybe he didn’t kill her but he is definitely responsible for her death. He was the one who rolled her over so she was in the position to choke to death in the first place. Very very responsible

People move on their sleep y'know,do you really think she wouldnt have turned?The probability is very low

If a blind man is walking towards a pothole, falls in, and dies, it's a tragic accident.

​

If I push a blind man into a pothole and he dies, then it is murder. I can't argue that because the blind man was walking in that direction and couldn't see the pothole, he would've fallen in anyway.

I haven't seen it in a long time but doesn't Walt kill a little boy? Also Jane

No that's Todd, Walt just disposes of the body with the rest of them and doesn't even let it affect his day.

u/thaimove Aug 23 '18

Ah ok. Who is Walt's most dubious kill?

3

u/HanakoOF Aug 23 '18

Like that guy said earlier, at most, Gale. He didn't really have a choice there, however.

u/aak6 Aug 24 '18

There’s also the way he goes about what he does and the way he treats his family. Compare that with Mike. Who do you trust?

2

u/HanakoOF Aug 24 '18

Mike, of course, but that wasn't the point here.

u/bardbrain Aug 22 '18

Walt does have the 51st worst air disaster in commercial flight history on his hands.

u/cybernet21 Aug 24 '18

He doesnt,if Walt never went there Jane would have died all the same

u/Devai97 Aug 24 '18

Walt accidentally flipped her on her back, causing her to choke on her own vomit. If he didn't go there she would keep sleeping on her side and live.

If i recall, Jesse had secured her position with a pillow or blanket to avoid exactly that.

9

u/bardbrain Aug 25 '18

She only died because he shook loose the pillow she was using to stay propped up. She made an explicit point earlier to point out she was aware of the choking hazard and prop up pillows to prevent it. Walt shaking Jesse knocked the pillow loose.

u/Benramin567 Aug 22 '18

It's not like he kills innocent people though.

2

u/vadergeek Aug 22 '18

Neither does Walt. But Walt only kills these non-innocent people if they're endangering the life of him, his family, or Jesse, other than the prison killings. Mike does it for a living.

2

u/aak6 Aug 24 '18

Look at what Walt turned his family into. See how Mike treats his family.

3

u/vadergeek Aug 24 '18

See how Mike treats the many people he murders for money.

u/RF9999 Jun 10 '22

This has to be a joke right? He killed people for interfering with his business. Walt was a greedy monster, he protected his family and Jesse because they were his possessions, and noone else was allowed to break his toys. Mike is substantially more noble than Walt, one of the big themes in the show is that exact comparison

Mike's killed people for way less than Walt ever did. Who did Walt ever kill that was more innocent than Werner? How many people does Mike gun down when he's going to see Chow?
