Ruby would have to have killed more than. It's a federal government building. There is no way your an American, others you'd know just how ineffective the US government is and how many extra people would be needed. She might have killed just under a hundred innocent people that had a absolutely nothing to do her. The people who clean the toilets or run the day care or run the cafeteria. What about the mataince people? The people in the mail room who sort the mail? 

Eli is shitty person don't get me wrong. He got butt hurt over losing his friend, who in turn was much more a shitty person than Eli. Eli threw a fit that ended up destroying the Russian Mob. Just in that hissy fit alone he killed over a hundred people. People smuggled drugs and people and guns and whatever else they did were killed cause they fucked with his friend. A friend that help set him up for a pretty good life and helped saved his dearly beloved mommy.

Civilian casualties. There's no way you're an American and don't know about that one, correct? It's all part of war, after all.

It doesn't really matter what Eli did or what Ruby did - Scarlett is crying because, as you said, there's always the normal people who work at these big buildings and more than likely, they're going to be caught out in a firefight. She's crying because she feels horribly guilty. She thinks that what Ruby did was wrong but that doesn't mean she needs to die, which is probably what's going to happen to Ruby. As I said, she's not holding information away from Elijah about Ruby - she's being realistic.

Back to the point, Ruby was simply following orders and because she's been hurt by her past, she doesn't seem to see the wrong in her actions. It's basic human psychology that we can see nearly everywhere. As in, the mentality that because you hurt me, I'm allowed to do everything, including attacking innocents, to hurt you back. Most of World War 2 was based on that principle.

I'm not trying to take a dig at you Acer, I'm just standing by the decisions I made for my characters that I believe is realistic in light of everything. You want to just call this to a halt before it gets any saltier?
