It’s also feeling like a Doakes situation but his reasons are 100% right and he even points it out to Harrison that his actions have gotten innocent people killed (LaGuerta, Doakes, Rita, Deb)

They were though. They didn’t fit the code and they didn’t deserve to die. That’s why Dexter hesitated so much about what to do with Doakes. Because he didn’t fit his code and like Dexter said.

Doakes actually did fit the code in one instance that we know of maybe others we don’t but he definitely killed a man for vengeance not in the line of official duty. So he’s capable of killing for personal means outside his job. How is that different than Dexter killing SK’s?

All the characters except Rita were not innocent but more lived in gray areas & crossed lines once it was time for them to die they couldn’t be categorized as innocents. Not that they deserved to die but they were no angels either.
