Quote:Never said Rick was perfect. But Morgan's decisions were made WHILE he was being attacked. He was letting people go AFTER they attempted to take his life. And comparing Rick's situation with Shane to any of Morgan's is a poor example. Shane was Rick's buddy before all the chaos occured. He was his partner. He couldn't flat out kill Shane without just cause. And it took him awhile to put that altogether. He admitted he was wrong about Carol after the fact. It's a complex world they live in for sure. He made a mistake when he kicked Carol to the curb but you have to consider he was going through a leadership phase. He wasn't quite yet distinguished or established yet at that time. Herschel was still building him up to be that leader the group needed.

 

Morgan literally has a knife pulled on him. He's threatened physically and verbally. He defends himself. And he's like "Okay, catch and release, you guys are free to go". Rick's decisions and motives were based off completely different circumstances. And the one time he felt threatened and suspicous for the first time he handled those people in the bar who were clearly out to get him. And then he took care of that prison inmate that was trying to take swipes at him when they were just getting into the prison and attempting to clear one of the floors....
