It wasn't a war. it wasn't in the moment. it was a premeditated murder. doesn't matter if he was abusive. seriously, Percy is strong. he could've kicked him out of the house. they could've just called the police and let them handle domestic abuse. any number of alternatives were available. it really should have been some kind of moral dilemma. a over doing it or at least giving some thought to it later on. I mean he's hesitant to kill demigods on a ship. demigods that may well have actually committed murder.

You kind of remind me of those gun toting Americans raving about protecting themselves by killing a home invader. the fact that killing someone is such an easy decision for so many 'good' people terrifies me more than most things in this world.

EDIT: Gabe wasn't a murderer. there are so many worse types of people out there and I still wouldn't agree to them being murdered without some kind of trial. hell even a kangaroo court would have been better than what he got. Even if they did call the police and file charges for domestic abuse, it's likely that Sally and Percy would've lost the case. Gabe is a sociopathic, narcissistic monster that knows how to pull on a good poker face. He was able to convince the media that his step-son was a troublemaker, even though we all know it isn't true.

Face it, Sally was out of options. There is NO WAY she was going to stay another minute with this abusive man. When the opportunity came with Medusa's head, she went for it.
