Stealing Boat was worse than stealing from the stationwagon.
Stealing the boat was wrong because vernon knew we planned to use it and without it we would most likely die in the incoming herd which he didnt even care to warn us about whereas when we/the group chose to steal from the stationwagon we had no knowledge that the people who owned it were still alive or were nearby. We didnt know the ramifications it would have but vernon knew the ramifications his actions would have, what vernon did may have been the act of a desperate man, but it was an evil act nonetheless and hopefully if he survived he will meet a gruesome end in season 2, preferably at the hands of the player!

When the group is escaping from the belltower of the Catholic school that Crawford had taken over, he asked if they had come by the train.
I guess he figured, they made the noise that brought em, they could be the ones dealing with them.
Because face it: Lee's group was going to leave Vernon's group in a morgue with no means of escape after being the ones sending rampaging zombies towards their city.
Nuff said.
I hear ya man, as Kenny said "They fucked us!"
Stealing the boat is far worse than taking from the car because I still can hardly believe what an idiot the stranger with the station wagon was for not only leave his abandoned car with all his supplies unwatched, not only leaving the keys in the car, not only leaving the doors unlocked BUT ALSO LEAVING THE DAMN DOOR OPEN WITH THE LIGHTS ON GOING DINGDINGDING! I might have objected more to taking supplies from the car but I thought for sure no one was coming back to it because no one could be so stupid as to leave it like that and think no one would take from it. When you have something valuable like say sustenance for your family, you protect it, just as Lee and his group protect the boat (wish there were a way to leave christa and omid behind AND show the bite).
The car and its supplies actually belonged to the stranger. The boat was found; it belonged to a dead family. It wasn't like Vernon stole Kenny's family's boat. I don't see what Vernon did as stealing, though I don't think it was necessarily "right," either. I can see how he might have justified it by "their loud ass train drew thousands to Savannah; my group can't survive now because we can't go out looking for food."
I wouldn't say they even helped Vernon out. They just happened to need stuff from the same place.
Helped get one of his group members (Brie) killed, too.
All I'm saying is this act of righteousness where it comes to the boat isn't really warranted. the boat didn't 'BELONG' to Lee's group anymore than it belonged to Vernon's. it belonged to dead people.
You can argue there were more young people in Lee's group and that the old should have sacrifice their lives for the young because HEY CLEM / BEN 10 YEARS FROM NOW (*vomit*) but, I don't really see anybody doing that.
I don't blame Vernon for what he did. He saw a chance to move on to a safer life, and took it. With the station wagon, all we were doing was giving the group a temporary reprieve from hunger. There's still food out there that we could have taken (little known fact, but tree bark can be used as a famine food, not sure which trees though). There were no other boats for Vernon's crew to find, not with a horde incoming.
I get the anger one would feel being on the short end of this stick. I'm not trying to say retaliation against Vernon and his people would be unjustified. Just that he acted very reasonably and understandably.
seriously it was whether them or us, we were planning on letting some people behind too, because the place is limited. Anyways I think the plan didn't work out for them because if I remember right they were more than 5 persons weren't they? Vernon, the black guy, the other black guy, the granny and... oh I guess that's it... damn.

Blaming the victim, eh?
I can actually understand why he might've left the car like that; it was the dead of night in the middle of the woods. It'd help him find his way back to it, as for leaving the keys in the ignition, if he needed to leave in a hurry, it means he doesn't need to fumble with his keys (little piece of trivia, several military vehicles which cost six or seven figures don't even use keys for the ignition; you just press a button... partly for the same reason).
Everyone else was pretty nasty
I blame him but I understand
Still I regret naming my Colonel in X-com after him...
I don't think it would have mattered anyway. If i remember correctly, Vernon's group consisted of 5 people, 4 now that Brie is dead. So that's plenty of room.
Yeah Kenny said it could fit 5 people.
God dang it.I just hoped they all sinked to the bottom of the sea
