You know, Someone, you are really judgmental sometimes. Leonardo had a choice in front of him; gather his courage and fight against Salem or give into fear and support her, which would he suspected or knew would mean the deaths of thousands; he chose the latter.

Even if his conscience is biting at him badly, why should we feel remorse for his actions when he does nothing to redeem himself or to help prevent them? He had many opportunities to turn against Salem, but chose not to take them. He knew Beacon was going to be attacked and could've warned Ozpin, presumably before he did the Order 66 with the Mistral Huntsmen. If he had warned Ozpin, then he could've gotten out of Salem's grasp. Again, he chose not to expose Salem and prevent the deaths of thousands; he played along and indirectly helped in the Fall of Beacon.

Even if he feels remorse for his actions, that doesn't excuse them especially since he does nothing to make up for them. Many people in RWBY made bad mistakes, but they were willing to make amends, to redeem themselves. What did Leonardo do? Nothing.

Yes, he knows he crossed a line, but he wouldn't have done so if he had just told Ozpin that Salem had coerced him into helping her. Ozpin may've been angered by this, but at least Leo could've been on ground where he could be forgiven. I don't think he's the devil incarnate, but I do think that he was nothing but a selfish coward who sold out everyone to save himself. So stop being judgmental towards others.
