It baffles me how some people didn’t realize that Neil has indeed killed people even before joining the Foxes.

Like, guys, when his mom died he didn’t just go “Oh, you know what could be fun to do with her body?”. He knew how to get rid of the corpse and the traces in the car so that it wouldn’t be identifiable and that his father’s people would have trouble finding them. He didn’t think that out of nowhere, he knew exactly what to do. And he did while in shock because his mom had died, which means it was ingrained enough in him that he could do it in autopilot. Also, he slept with a gun under his pillow. What, did you believe he never used it? He has a gunshot wound on himself which means he was in the middle of a fire at least once. Do you think he didn’t fire back? That he fired and always missed the mark?

Neil and Mary were on the run from a mobster and professional killer. 

They did bad things that did not stop at occasional stealing and squatting in empty houses. 

They did what they had to in order to survive and that does not make them monsters like Nathan was, but it doesn’t make them good people either.
