Yeah, I get that and it's kinda what I meant by them not wanting to have blood on their hands, that they would develop that. I should have been clearer. It still seems a bit strange to me though and I think the situations are different; this is self-defense against someone who's shooting at you, not murdering an abusive uncle in cold blood. Though I guess that doesn't really matter as far as the Syndrome is concerned. It still seems like they could have at least captured some of them in Ep 22 though instead of just chasing them out of the house. Ah well, guess I am reading too much into it, it's a pretty minor thing and doesn't detract from my enjoyment of the series at all anyway.
