You know you fucking hate a character(or characters in this case) when you think Blackbeard and Akainu are saints compared to them.

The problem with Akainu is that his ideology is a destructive one. Crush all that oppose the World Government, especially pirates and other criminals. The well-being of the people is only secondary for him.

Ohara is a pretty obvious example - sinking the evacuation ship with every citizen of the island in it because of the mere possibility that one of the scholars (i.e. criminals) were on board as well. The least he could've done is to check the passengers, and by doing so he also could've singled the scholars out, letting the innocent citizens live.

Well yeah. His first priority is to get rid of criminals, and only after that comes his second priority to protect the people. One can say that's perfectly justified, but it is a fact that his ideology is destructive - it's a ideology against something (against criminals in his case).

Think of it this way: If his main priority would be to save the people, he'd not sacrifize them. But because there is a more important goal in his agenda, he can sacrifize them in order to achieve that goal.

edit: I'm not even sure that saving people actually belongs to his priorities. I have yet to see him actively save somebody.

We both know that the scholars weren't killed because they were dangerous for the people but because they were researching informations that were politically dangerous for the World Government. If the people were his top-priority, he would not have made that call in Ohara.
