I dont get the Shane love here. He was crearly written as a villan, not any kind of hero.
Multiple times he's threatened to or tried to kill members of his group, attemtped rape, twice leaving people behind to make it easier for himself and then lying about it after the fact.
I agree rick isnt acting stognly enough to protect the group. He should have put shane down immediately after the barn incident.
The Otis thing doesnt make him a hero. He never would have done it to Laurie or Andrea so it wasnt survival at all costs it was Shane decidcng Otis wasnt personally valuable to him.
As far as Herschel being deluded and everyone being 100% sure that they would know not to keep their loved ones safely contained, I ask how? How would you know? The group went to cdc, prior to which they thought there was a cure. All they knew was that their loved ones were sick. Do you often shoot or lob parts of loved ones when the come down with an illness thats unidentified?
