I’m fearful what the response might be but I’m with Angela on this. I’m barely squeaking assignments in on time. That said, I do check often to see what the assignments *are*. =)

No, actually, Falcon, that’s kinda where we went with this.
It’s not so much justification (though I think that rational people would argue that it IS that) as it is an individual’s sense of justice and honor. Honor among thieves, perhaps, but a code nonetheless.
Kiki was zeroing in on the idea that while Jax was still condoning a murder (let’s not forget that – it was murder), in his mind, it was okay because even if the guy didn’t do what he was being killed for, he was still a bad guy who deserved, in their twisted world, to die. If the Mayan in question had been a probie, say, or a wannabe who hadn’t actually DONE anything yet, Jax would never have consented to the hit. As it was, he condoned it because he knew a) the target in question was a low-life and b) it would bring his friend (the husband of the murdered Donna) some peace.
Wrong? Oh, yes – on SO many levels – but I fully appreciated the connection that Kiki was making. It’s a connection I think she’ll have an opportunity to play with again as we begin to think about forgiveness and its limits (and possibilities).
