Alex has, accidentally and sometimes with intention, bumped off a number of people.

Do you consider him a murderer?

While I would classify a killer as someone who has murdered people, regardless of how it happened (not by accident, of course), saying that Alex is a killer, is hard. Doesn't seem right.

Is there such a thing as an innocent killer?

No. He could have knocked them out or incapacitated them couldn't he? (correct me if I'm wrong)
He was manipulated by Julia Rothman and the trajectory would never have hot Mrs. Jones. He did kill most people by accident or with no other option but there were a few exceptions. I think.

Yeah but if you were Alex would you not want to strangle Ash and Julia Rothman, knowing they killed your parents?

No I would forgive and forget. Ash was crazy Julia was crazy but I wouldn't have known my parents and I would be angry, furious even but I would not kill them. Two wrongs don't make a right as they say.

Alex could have killed Mrs. Jones for the same thing. Although the shot wasn't directed at her, he pulled the trigger.

in snakehead it says "It was the first time he had fired in anger and with delibrate intention to kill" so it shows that all the other times it had been accidents and that part in snakehead he missed so he didnt kill then either

I don't really think of him as a killer but he has killed more then one person. It just depends on what you see as being a killer really..

For Alex, the people did die mostly by accident or due to self defense, but I think it is along the same lines as police and military. They kill people for the greater good type thing.
So...even in the case of Dr. Grief, Alex was acting due to the safety of hundreds or thousands of people.

Where did that quote from Snakehead come from? I don't remember it and I would like to find it.

no way

i think he killed people fr the greater good
if you label alex a murderr, you're labelling every great spy including james bond a murderer also, and it's simply not the way people think of great action heroes
