User blog comment:AustinDR/PG Proposal: John Coffey/@comment-32725786-20190823000758

Cut - Kinda goes against the Reluctant to Kill criterion, which states that PGs do not willingly kill, no matter how evil the villain was. Even if those two villains were that evil, the remote moral stigma that's still in Coffey's actions and attitude towards it is still what it is. While not enough for him to slip into the realm of Anti-Villain/Extremist or even Anti-Hero, even the slightest disqualifying factor affects a PG status.

In conclusion, Outright is the best he's got.
