There certainly were some morally ambiguous tough choices to make on that show. A lot of grey areas. And I agree that this is what makes the show interesting. But the original question was whether others thought, like you, that Finn was wrong for protecting Charlotte. (BTW, it wasn't just Finn. It was Clarke, too.)  My humble opinion again is "no". To allow Murphy to have his way with Charlotte was to promote mob mentality, which is precisely what Bellamy had done by allowing Murphy to be lynched. What if Charlotte had not confessed? Murphy would have died for something he didn't do. Not allowing this kind of chaos should have been an easy choice for Bellamy to make. You don't do it. You lead by example, not by giving the people what they want when it's wrong. And you don't allow a child to be brutalized whether she's guilty or not.

It's like what the grounders wanted to do to Finn. I was horrified by the cruelty, savagery, the total lack of humanity, and empathy for another human being. The death of a broken 18 year old boy wasn't enough for them? I don't care if Finn was guilty or not. Something is seriously wrong with people who can take satisfaction in inflicting that kind of suffering on another human being, especially a teenage boy.

What Charlotte did was awful; but like Clarke said, they all were at fault for what happened to Wells. I don't think there was anything to be gained by throwing a little girl out into the wilderness where she would probably have died a terrible death. That shouldn't have been one of those difficult choices.
