Granaatti wrote: We know for sure that Raven herself that what she did to Spring was a mercy kill. I think that is good enough argument to proof that Raven isn't completelly evil. We might disagree with the logic she used and her world view in general, but in her head, Raven did the right thing considering all other options she had.

I mean what else she could (should) have done with Spring? Let a very powerful, hunted person with no control over her powers to live with her people and endanger everyone's lives in the progress? Send her away, which would very likely lead to a painful death in hands of Salem or Grimm or her own uncotrolled powers? Send her to Ozpin, the man from whose ally Spring had run away for the first place and whom Raven doesn't trust at all?

None of those sound that good options either. Actually we don't know that for sure, all we have on the subject is Raven's word, which has repeatedly proven to be less than credible. Killing a young girl for not meeting her expectations just shows that Raven is a terrible teacher, not to mention a horrible leader and downright despicable woman. And with her as an example, is it any wonder Spring failed so badly. I do hope we see Tai calling her out on this in the show, and asking if she would've killed Yang if she also found her lacking. Definitely looking forward to it.
