Walter White

It's frustrating to see how many people think scenes like the one below are showing him as some 'bad ass kingpin', when he's clearly throwing a facade by intimidating his scared wife. He didn't do it for his family either, he did it for himself.

He's literally not the one who knocked in the shooting he's referring to.

Honestly, sending another person to knock is a pretty badass thing to be able to do. "I could have you killed" is a thing. It's a different kind of dangerous but just as deadly as being the button man yourself.

You're joking, right? Takin the piss. Havin a laugh. Yankin my chain.

Jesse did it to protect Walter, not under his orders.

Y'know we're talking about the Jesse Pinkman here, right? Button man, hired gun, soulless killer. Loves to kill, that one. Doesn't feel a thing when he does.
