So far what they've showed us from Joe's group, it seemed like Len was the biggest tool among tools. There's a chance Len has been pissising people off left and right in the group for awhile now. Hell, I'm sure Tony had a blast putting the stomp down. It was probably a perfect opportunity to put on a show for Daryl and deal with a problem all in one fell swoop.

 

^^^^^^^^ This

 

that's my guess too. Len was the thug, not Joe, i have a feeling Joe's gonna turn out to be a decently cool guy, just the way he's putting himself forward. They wouldn't make him look so much like Kris Kristofferson if he wasn't a white hat.

 

I am pretty sure that Joe did say something about getting tired of Len's shit. He did indicate that Len was being a huge pain for a while. I think he was just looking for an excuse to get rid of him.

 

To wield that much power over people to order a brutal kill (with an arrow in the eye) is frightening. However, if Len did plant the rabbit knowing Daryl would be killed then he deserved his end. They are not good guys. Even Joe stated the Terminus folk wouldn't want a group like his inside.

 

That's my belief. We don't at this point have any reason to think that the situation wasn't just as they showed it. Joe realized there was someone in his group who was planting evidence on someone else in order to get them killed, and he meted out punishment for it. Harsh punishment, but fair. Again, so long as the system is truly FAIR to all, that seems reasonable, if not pleasant.

 

I also have been wondering if "All the way" meant kill him and/or kill his brain so he can't come back?

It might point to them using a freshly made Walker as a weapon before too?
Just like Rick did to them.

 

I think 'all the way' meant kill him but nothing more specific.

Whether Joe planted the rabbit, or watched Len do it, he chose Daryl. He could see that Daryl and Len would never co-exist and he had a choice to make of who he'd keep. He picked Daryl. Who wouldn't? If he planted the rabbit himself he set it up. If he watched it be planted, he seized the opportunity. Either way he got his man and showed Daryl just what kind of leader he was. On the face of it Daryl now knows not to cross Joe or break his rules. More subtly he knows Joe chose him and stuck up for him. It is ****ed up but that is how gangs get loyalty and Joe and bandits are nothing more than an aging redneck gang. Win:Win for Joe.

 

So you don't think he could have meant all the way so he will not Zombify?
Kind of an important distinction these days to me.

 

Nope - only because that is such a given and/or Joe won't really care as long as they don't leave a walker bomb in his bunk. The distinction between beat him to a pulp and beat him to death is not a given. Joe decides and they do whatever he tells them to do.

 

That doesn't make sense to me really but,your Unicorn is damn distracting that I can not continue this conversation !

 

Teach Him All The Way sounds like the title of a really bad porno.

 

Bump. Ha! I thought he was a cool guy too but now we know he condones brutal murder and the rape of women and children...

 

yup, i missed that one. oh well.
