BUT

NOT TO MENTION HASCO- He's colored, his girlfriend raped/killed by the W.A.F, etc. But what does he get out of accusing Simon of killing W.A.F members?

I don't think that Gale wants to kill Simon, otherwise he would have already have had Simon killed along time ago. So far what we do know of Gale is that he was sexually abused at the hands of his father and mother, and it seems that he is an ex-solider. I believe that Gale suffers from a lot of trauma firstly from his childhood and secondly from his time as a solider. He might not have had the opportunity to articulate himself well to Simon to tell him that he was being abused horrendously.

No no, I wrote in my comment "He doesn't want him dead", and hm, I don't doubt his actions are aided by his fcked up past, but what about his purpose? What does he want to gain from putting Simon in prison? Or make him kill Pete? Maybe... he finds it unfair that Simon grew up so well despite their parents and wants him to become as messed up as him?

Probably, We aren't given the opportunity to actually understand Gale's point of view. I do feel that he does want to make Simon suffer, or maybe he is desperately trying to form some kind of bond with Simon, something that his parent/s can not take away from him? Other than a monetary reason, Gale's emotional thoughts are so locked up in his head and heart that at first I disliked his character in the first chapters. Like in chapter 54 he even questions himself about love and he even sees it as a deal between his parents. What do you think?

Damn, maybe he does want a twisted sort of bond/ his learned version of "love". It could also be revenge? I don't get the vibe, but he did say during abusive stepmom's funeral that it was his fault she was dead. I think he was just messing with his head but it's been dropped from the story like it never happened, and that's kinda suspicious.

Yeah! I just wonder if their relationship is completely damaged such that they will never talk one on one with each other (Simon and Gale) that is. They could clear up so many misunderstandings and negative emotions they have towards each other!
