I'm sure if they kill or don't they'll like agonize over it. I don't see all the students being against killing. Least of all Cardin's gang. They'll half-bad themselves. Unless they'll turn over a new leaf. I feel like it'd be an injustice to Cinder if her only death came at her own hands or by some accident (the cop out fall off a kill never to be heard from again bull is old).

I just wonder if RWBY as a show is mature enough to have death and defensive murder shown and addressed. Is Oum wanting the show to be a show kids to adults, or is he gonna draw a line in the sand and make it for one or the other? Often times shows on TV have to dumb stuff down. Crazed murderers become petty robbers with creepy voiced. Rapists get flat out put in the show. I don't blame them fully. But they could put the show on at night and still show the content as it's suppose to be be. But they think they'll lose the kid viewers if they do that. And there's the rub.

But Oum's show is on the net. A cult followed show but growing. How's he gonna handle deeper plot points? How he decides to do it will decide what his target audience really is. As it is now, with no cursing in the show or much blood (not that we need that) I doubt it's suppose to be for adult or older teens. That's why I started this thread too. Because to some extend we may never get answers to these question. They may lead us on with battles between the forces of good and evil till the shows completion with neither side ever dying. Only being stopped, caught, or hindered.
