the idea that there was ANOTHER subplot that could explain why bellamy was acting like that...... nope, sorry.

look, bellamy hated the groundres since s1, there was no character change there, then echo, a grounder he saved, comes to him and betrayes him...... then clarke, who he finds being dragged by some grounder, he goes after and wants to save her, only to find her all dressed up as a grounder and bowing to... lexa?

he is pissed, and pike is telling him ok, lets go shoot some grounders, thats gonna cheer you up..... so hell yeah, he does it.... the only thing that doesnt fit with bellamy at this point is him growing a concesnense(probably didnt write that right)

he thinks of himself as a leader and wants to protect his people and he thinks that he can just go to war with the grounders..... what he is forgetting that the last ime they had clarke, and now they dont. thats why he is so pissed at her. he is emotional and angry right now and he doesnt know what to do at this point..... bad writing, yeah, but it does kinda makes sense, so please stop saying that bellamy is oput of cahracter, because he is the only one this season who isnt!!!!!!!! Part of Bellamy's arc was that he began to sympathize and understand grounders. He was more or less friends with Lincoln, and was well aware of numerous good grounders. Bellamy was also as disgusted with Finn's massacre as everyone else was, but then a season later he goes ahead and does something even worse? It just didn't make sense for the character.

Bellamy may not be crazy about grounders, but killing innocent people, grounders or not, does not fit his character at all. Hell, it barely fits season 1 Bellamy.
