Don't forget that Abel has lost his family, town, a father figure/mentor, and his life. He doesn't speak about death lightly and understands when force is needed. He's the character who has currently experienced the most death in the novel. Just because my guy is goofy and overly optimistic doesn't mean he doesn't understand war, in my opinion, I think he understands it the most.

Kind of rude to assume Brett would purposely run over or assault a homeless man when it was Hayden who assaulted Brett on their like 3rd meeting Like, who are you to judge, dude?

Hayden accused him of running the homeless guy over ("you hit someone") or getting out of his car and 'picking a fight' with the guy (battery counts as assault). And it's hypocritical, considering Hayden has physically and sexually assaulted Brett before (and because of the nature of his trait, Hayden is the one who is more inclined to be violent). At the same time, Brett has little history of violence (outside of him and Hayden antagonizing each other, Brett has only hit other people out of self-defense; in fact, he's shown numerous times he's more inclined to let himself get hurt than to hurt others.) The only significant time Brett hurt someone was in ch 28 when he has the French guy injure himself to make up for hurting Hayden. So it's both ironic and shows Hayden's bias as he's the one who has a history of impulsiveness and violence, yet he projects that onto Brett despite it being completely out of character for Brett.

But my point was that, other than Hayden Brett, he hasn't attacked anybody. Whereas Hayden has attacked Brett and the other guy previously. So, despite them equally sharing punches, Hayden still assumed Brett would hurt others while ignoring his own past behaviour. I never said Brett didn't do anything. I said it was hypocritical for Hayden to judge Brett when Hayden has done the same stuff.
