Just because you are in an area where the law is difficult to enforce does not mean that your actions are not evil....

In addition, though I would not necessarily condemn a thief as evil right off the bat, there is a major difference between stealing someone's wallet and sacking an entire wilderness town...

I don't understand why people are trying to justify murder and pillaging...

1st off, the act of KILLING is NEUTRAL. MURDER is not the = of KILLING, they have separate meanings and implications within morality scales, and are not equivalent, and usually distinguished by intent.

2nd, your comparisons are completely off the axis, Law <-> Chaos is the axis being discussed, not Law/evil. Law/Evil IS NOT an axis, the other axis is Evil <-> Good

3rd RT has done a really shitty job proving Raven's tribe does either murder or pillage, they instead appear to approach the town, demand payment for their livelihood, then enforce consequences and leave the Grimm to do what they do if their demands are not met. Their victims do not follow the same law of the jungle kind of law they do, they fight back, people die in the conflict. This falls under killing and not murder until shown to be otherwise, thus not evil by itself.
