To @CorLeonis92: I do think you make many good points.

However, I don't agree with "the Sky people Had the option to execute people bloodlessly (I don't think that word exists but hey ho). The Grounders didn't." Clarke killed Finn in a matter of seconds. If somebody is stabbed in a certain place, obviously it will hurt, but there's still ways to make it quick. The Grounders don't bother showing mercy to the people who have committed crimes, they just kill them in the most painful way. Their goal isn't to make the person's death as painless as possible, it was the exact opposite. So, maybe you are correct that they needed to execute people often, however, they did have an option to make their deaths painless. They just didn't do it. That's why what they did is revenge and not justice. That's why they are savages.

I would also like to point out that they banished Delano (for stealing, according to Nyko). If they could have afforded to banish Delano instead of killing him, then they could have done the same with the others who committed crimes.
