he killed a man. or was at least complicit with it. the literal opposite of what Chiron (someone he trusts explicitly) told him that a hero was meant to do. in the first damn book. tell me how if he told Chiron he wouldn't be chastised. tell me how being an accessory to murder in the real world lets you off so easily.

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.
