Well... I just spent all of my Saturday morning getting my car looked at... so that was fun.
Part of the problem I'm seeing with all this is that I'm not as sure as the rest of you are regarding what suffices as a justification. In a sense, the hyenas were justified: they were starving and Scar goaded them on with promises of being able to thrive under his leadership. That seems like a justification to me. I'm not going to get into my character, but I will say that mine is justified in a certain light as well. In fact, I'd say the same is true of everyone who has role claimed up to this point. They're not anti-villains (villains who do wrong for the right reasons), but they all do appear to be villains who were pushed to action by circumstances that were beyond their control. Smeagol was goaded by the One Ring and tortured into performing some of his more villainous actions - doesn't mean he was justified, but from a certain light, you could say that he is. Magneto dealt with the Holocaust and the loss of his family and generally fights against anti-mutant sentiments more forcefully than Professor X. It strikes me that the justifications range pretty wildly, so I don't think that should be our basis for lynching Speed.
Honestly, the main reason why I'm sus of his claim is just the fact that it is a group of characters rather than a single one. Seems like an odd choice in general, as does the fact that this set of characters is a bunch of lackeys, whereas all the claims so far (and my own character) aren't necessarily lead villains, but don't fall into the category of minions like the hyenas do. Still reading through more of this before I make a decision.
