Skyzy couldn't have said it better. I agree that with Murphy it was somewhat expected and becaue of all the things that had happened to him we could somewhat sympathize with him. Whereas with Finn, it isn't something I would have ever guessed he would do if I looked back at Season 1. Finn's massacre was shocking.

I'm not excusing Murphy's behaviour in any way or saying that he had good reason to do what he did. I'm saying that it is easier to be more hung up on what Finn did than Murphy for a variety of reasons. Not to mention (and I don't know if this is going to change things that much in the long run) but Finn did kill more people. And he didn't just kill people he knew, people that he had a personal feud with; they were innocent, random. He had no idea who they were or what kind of people at all. And please don't use the fact that the Grounders stormed their camp as an excuse. Nothing is that black and white. And, if I remember correctly, Murphy was the one yelling at Finn to stop gunning down the Grounders, but he persisted anyway. That gains Murphy some redeeming points. His character changed drastically, making him far more likeable.
