Considering the only attempt anyone has made to praise the council turned half of them into zombies you're pretty grossly overstating the motivations of council members.
We weren't ourselves in Novi Grad as murderers or victims. And the zombies weren't themselves either. I don't think either really counts as us killing one another so much as the scientists killing attacking some of us with images of others. And the fact is, legislation's done more to help us than whining about it on the journals.
