You are incredibly arrogant. Yes, it would only be an opinion and you are not stating a fact; just your concrete assessment of what you saw. And I am assigning an abstract meaning to the same scenes and dialog as you make reference to. To me it was evident.

Not if the victim is suffering. Sean was definitely showing compassion; his was an instinctive reflex. Aimed at putting an end to suffering. Surely you can imagine such a situation. The fact that Renard called for Bonaparte to 'stop' was an act of compassion in itself. He was still working with CB at the time and it is possible he wasn't ready to question the other one's decisions in the moment. I'm not in any way defending him for this particular set of circumstances, only to demonstrate he showed compassion.
I'm tired of trading exchanges with one who I cannot influence to not just see my position, but more importantly, to someone who doesn't see where I'm coming from as valid on the basis of logic. It's fine, let's just get on to our other pursuits.
