1) Well, if you think about it, 100 were sent to Earth because they aren't innocent. They were prisoners are they committed a crime.

2) Just because he was allowed to do whatever the hell he wanted, doesn't mean he should. And yes FloaterJ, he looked like he was enjoying himself while he was holding that person over the fire.

3) If anyone, he should've been hunting Bellamy because he let her kill, taught her to kill, said she'd be a good killer, and led the crowd that was hanging Murphy.

4) Everybody thought it was Murphy who killed Wells because Clarke blamed him in front of everyone.

5) Murphy was hung when there was no laws, and almost a month later, there was punishments for peoples inactions. The other people hung him because they thought they should. Murphy hung Bellamy out of anger so he should've stayed. And he used a bomb to get out that could've been used to ward off incoming Grounders, and he therefore could've actually saved the lives of his people.

6) Yes he was tortured and told the Grounders almost every little secret the Delinquents had. However, Lincoln was also tortured and he didn't say a word to anyone but Octavia. Bellamy hung Lincoln up for days still standing with his arms out and started stabbing him and he still stayed silent. Murphy was tied to a tree for a few days sat down, and we don't know how much or how little Tristan and the others tortured him

Well, he most likely only hunted down Charlotte instead of Bellamy because how far would he get trying to kill Bellamy? Bellamy was respected by the other Delinquents and they thought of him as their leader. If Murphy tried to hang Bellamy, they probably would have killed him. So, he decided to try and kill Charlotte because he knew not many people would defend her. Which, they didn't. Only Clarke, Finn, and Bellamy had protected Charlotte. Some others even volunteered to help Murphy go and hunt her down and later kill her.

Yes, it's partially Clarke's fault, as well. She should have listened to Bellamy and kept her mouth shut, however, if there were rules to begin with and if Bellamy didn't let anyone do whatever the hell they wanted whenever the hell they wanted, then the situation most likely could have been avoided. And it's not just that, it's the fact that Bellamy hung Murphy (partially knowing that it wasn't him who killed Wells) just so the others would respect him and listen to him. He didn't hang Murphy because he thought he killed Wells, he hung Murphy because he was making another selfish choice.

Yes, Lincoln didn't say anything to anyone but Octavia, however, a couple points I would like to make:

1) Lincoln was years older than Murphy. Murphy is just a teenager. It's obvious that Murphy would break and tell his enemies everything before Lincoln did.

2) Lincoln was trained his whole life how to be a warrior and if Lincoln told his enemies everything then his clan would think he was weak and he would probably be killed for being a traitor. Murphy was not trained to be a warrior like Lincoln was. You seem to have forgotten that the Sky People and Grounders grew up living two very different ways. So, it's not really fair to compare Murphy (a scared teenager who just didn't want to die) to Lincoln (a tough warrior who was trained all of his life).

3) When I said Murphy was tortured for 3 days I wasn't referring to when Tristan had him tied to the tree. I was referring to the time before he made his way back to camp in "I Am Become Death". He admits that he was tortured in that episode. And in "Inclement Weather" he says that the Grounders had him in their prison camp, where he was tortured for 3 days.

4) Bellamy did NOT keep torturing Lincoln for days after "Contents Under Pressure". He just had Lincoln tied up so he could not escape. After the antidote was handed over, nobody did anything more to him. So, I don't really know where you got the "Bellamy hung Lincoln up for days still standing with his arms out and started stabbing him" from. Because that is false.
