Criminals aren't necessarily okay. I think it's a matter of prespective. I can't say for everyone else but I don't personally approve of things being stolen. I also know that there is a reason for everything. You aren't in the demon-fighting business for as long as I've been without learning that about life and about people. The wrong thing for the wrong reasons, is still the wrong thing but on a bigger scale like this one, you have to trust yourself-and the people around you-to know what to pick and choose. To me someone stealing jewlery isn't as big a deal as Spike stealing a car someone might need or some other person coming in and stealing someone's home or way of life. I can understand where it might bother you. I don't know much about your way of life but I can see that the way Batma Bruce Wayne raised you is probably going to clash a bit with how some of us do things around here.
When we say kill, though we use the word Vanquish back home, we mean the supernatural. That's what a lot of us around here do and handle back home. And being here isn't going to change that. I can't speak for everyone else. But I was born for it. And Chosen for it. I go out and kill things. Sometimes, I break laws. A lot of them. I did it back home and I'll do it here too. And sometimes, I really wish that I didn't have to but it's my job. When it comes to deciding whether stealing some ancient vase from a museum or saving an innocent, if that vase can save that innocent's life, I'm going to choose them every time. And if there is a monster out there that doesn't require a gun to kill it, I'm there. It's what I do. Will I steal a car to get there? No. Because that's who I am. Spike .. Spike is Spike. I'm not making excuses for him but when you'll learn soon enough when a being is as old as he is, they're pretty set in their ways. At least he's trying which is more than could be said for and when I can I try to put a stop to the needless stealing.
