While yes, him not stopping janes death was the cause of what would eventually be the deaths of 167 people, it was still her father who was clearly mentally unstable (deservedly so) and made those planes crash. Her father was responsible for that, not Walt. And the airlines at fault for letting a man in his state do it.
Walt is still responsible. If Jane hadn't died, her father wouldn't have been put in this emotional state in the first place. -

Jane is responsible, if she hadn't broken the law by shooting heroin then those people would still be alive. The blame falls on Jane because her slutty, junkie behavior lead to the deaths of all the people on the planes.

That was Hank, if Hank had just let things be when he found the book then everything would have worked out perfectly for the family. Walt was out of the business, all he wanted to do was run his car wash but Hank just couldn't let that happen because he was a greedy scumbag.

Hank knew that Walt was involved in the events caused him to get shot and almost a paraplegic. He knew that Walt had endangered everyone in his family. He knew that Walt detonated a bomb in a nursing home. He knew Walt had mass-murdered inmates to keep them quiet. He knew that Walt had made him look a fool and screwed his career. On and on and on.
That was Hank, if Hank had just let things be when he found the book then everything would have worked out perfectly for the family. Walt was out of the business, all he wanted to do was run his car wash but Hank just couldn't let that happen because he was a greedy scumbag.
Think of the implications of what would happen if Hank protected Walt's secrets. Walt, aware that Hank is under his thumb, would be able to use him for more favors, say bailing out his criminal associates when they get arrested, or tampering with evidence or witnesses if necessary. And if other criminals like Lydia or Todd found out about this arrangement, they'd be able to use this to blackmail Hank into doing favors for them. And after Walt is gone Hank would be the one forced to watch their money laundering operation and head off any trouble that arises, a commitment for many years.
And if Walt was eventually found out, after he's gone or not, well, Skyler would have been subjected to Hank's fate, and Hank would have had it worse. There's really no upside to getting mixed up in Walt's business unless Hank wanted to go to prison too.
Oh, and "greedy scumbag"? The disrespect you think that Hank showed to Walt pales in comparison to Walt's disrespect of Hank. It's not even on the same chart. It's risible that you'd even compare them. Hank was flawed like all human beings, but whatever disrespect he showed Walt was trivial compared to what Walt did to him. -

The truth is Walt didn't hurt anyone who didn't deserve it. Hank was just bitter because Walt was more of a man than he was. Watching him get his ass owned by Jack and the Nazis was so satisfying and it meant a lot to me. F-cking pig deserved to die, painfully.

Wow seems like you missed the whole point of Breaking Bad buddy. It really is true what they say about you Hippo you are an ignorant one. Walt was a despicable character even the writer of the show hated his character by the end of the show's run.

No, Walt is the hero, he did what was right for other people even when they didn't appreciate him. Hank was an absolute scumbag monster. He only cared about himself and was even willing to harm innocent children so he could get his promotion. I was glad that he died but I have said this for a while Uncle Jack was WAY TOO EASY on him. First of all I would have bust out a can of salt and poured the entire thing in his wound, then busted out some jumper cables and had some fun with his nipples and testicles. I'd laugh and tease him the entire time, "oh what's the matter Mr. Tough Guy? Do you feel a little sting there big boy?, awww does it hurt?", LOL. Then after he begs me to kill him I'd slice his nuts off, force him to eat them then douse him in gasoline and light him up. It would be so much fun.

Lol sorry buddy
You're right thoughhank was a piece of sh!t. I used to be pulling for him a bit until rabid dog when he (spoilers) was willing to let Jesse get killed when he sent Jesse to meet him in the plaza. He did some slimeball stuff before in the way he dealt with criminals, but him hoping that Jesse would possibly get killed meeting Walt just so he could get it on camera made me really hate him.
However, I was never rooting for hank to get Walt. I was team Walt all the way to the end. Any love I had for hank was officially gone after that move. -

No, Walt is the hero, he did what was right for other people even when they didn't appreciate him.
You mean, he only did what he could to satisfy his own ego. Walt stopped having other people's interests in mind when he rejected Gretchen and Elliot's help. Just a few episodes before that, he found himself in a very difficult situation where his family was at risk. He had to kill a man to protect his family. What excuse can there be for continuing in that line of business when there was another way out? Once Walt rejected Gretchen and Elliot, he chose his ego and pride over his family and their safety. That's the point where cooking meth became more about himself than providing for the family. That was just a lie he told himself to justify his actions.
Hank was an absolute scumbag monster. He only cared about himself and was even willing to harm innocent children so he could get his promotion.
You keep coming back to this "Hank was only interested in a promotion" thing. It wasn't about "getting a promotion", he wanted to put a guy in prison who he had been after for over a year. He already had a promotion: He was already the ASAC by the time he discovered Walt was Heisenberg. And speaking of that ASAC promotion, Hank never wanted or pushed for it in the first place. In fact, everytime the talk of promotion came up in the series up to that point, he found himself rallying against it. Hank went out to El Paso reluctantly, and then refused to further his career by going back later in the series (sending Gomez in his place). He also couldn't stand the promotion to the Albuquerque field office ASAC because he was a street guy, not a desk jockey. Never does Hank talk positively about chasing a promotion. He accepted offer begrudgingly because Marie would kill him if he didn't. See, if Hank moving up the chain of command was anyone's dream in the show, it was Marie. She was the only one wanting to eventually end up in DC. And Hank felt like his career would be over if anyone found out about his association with Heisenberg. In fact, he played the entirety of season 5 completely off the books. Pretty much walks the finest line of actually getting himself out of the DEA because he refuses to let Walt get away with his crimes. He put his career on the line to bring him to justice.
Plus Hank had every reason to care about himself: he told Walt all about Heisenberg and Gus. Especially so as Hank was having Walt drive him around, including to some of his stakeouts. All that time, Walt knew everything and just lied straight to Hank's face. How could Hank not be angry about that? Walt had lied him in the face like it was nothing and endangered Hank's career and life on multiple occasions. At that point, Hank knew that Walt was a dangerous criminal at this point and needed to be put away.
I was glad that he died but I have said this for a while Uncle Jack was WAY TOO EASY on him. First of all I would have bust out a can of salt and poured the entire thing in his wound, then busted out some jumper cables and had some fun with his nipples and testicles. I'd laugh and tease him the entire time, "oh what's the matter Mr. Tough Guy? Do you feel a little sting there big boy?, awww does it hurt?", LOL. Then after he begs me to kill him I'd slice his nuts off, force him to eat them then douse him in gasoline and light him up. It would be so much fun.
What is with you? Why do you keep coming back to wanting to see weird rape or torture scenarios involving Jesse? Why do you keep thinking you're some kind of mafioso tough guy and believe it's wrong to rat on on a criminal that has brought so much pain and destruction to so many people? Only criminals themselves see ratting as a bad thing. And people with actual morals do not care about violating some silly criminal code like "don't rat on things". Because, yeah, Jesse himself had been involved in a lot of heinous things, but in the process, he grew a moral compass and made the decision to do the right thing. Plus, Jesse never actually ratted out Walt. Hank had already figured it out, and after Jesse found out about Walt using Brock to manipulate him into killing Gus he no longer felt any sense of loyalty to him. Why should he have? Walt had proven himself to be a selfish, manipulating bastard.
Another thing: you want to subject Jesse to that sort of torture for being "a rat". So why don't you call for Walt to be subject to a similar fate for something like, say, killing Mike or Gus? -

Walt was never doing it to satisfy his own ego he was doing it to make sure that his family had the money that they needed after he was gone. He never intended to use the money for himself he was always thinking of his children and his bitch of a wife. He loved his family so much he was willing to put himself through hell all to make sure they were taken care of after he was gone, that shows how noble he was.
Hank absolutely did want a promotion, he wanted to walk into the DEA office and brag about how he was better than the great Heisenberg, well fortunately things didn't work out that way because Todd and Jack's army absolutely owned him like a bitch and gave him probably the most disgraceful death imaginable and it was amazing. The world is definitely a better place because that fat pig Hank Shrader is gone and not only that his self righteous, hypocritical bitch wife Marie has to live the rest of her life knowing that Walt was the better man. Now I understand being ambitious, I understand wanting to move up in the workplace but when you ruin the lives of innocent children to get there that is just plain evil. I have no problem with him wanting to bring Mike and Walt to justice for what they did but he was going to steal the inheritance of little children and leave them in the poorhouse all so he could rub it in the faces of Walt and Mike, that is pure evil. Walt risked his life on several occasions to save Hank, another act of nobility.
I was talking about Hank and yes he deserved to die the most painful death possible and I would have been there laughing and spitting on him as Hank cried and begged for death only to assure him that it wasn't going to happen for a very long time and that he was going to have to endure a lot more pain and suffering. After his fingers were cut off he would have begged to tell me everything, after his balls were cut off he'd kiss my ass to kill him.
