He's working on his own set of personal rules instead of applying the law equally. He's defining that what ever is good for Nick, is what is good for Portland, and that is how a "Godfather" of the mafia acts.

In that regard Nick is now no different from how Renard ran the city before Nick came, i.e. taking bribes from illegal fight promoters in the Wesen community, cutting off the ear of assasins who arrive without Renard's permission. A law unto himself. Wow. That's really harsh. You are completely ignoring the fact that the Laws of the Human World do not cover all the circumstances that happen in the Wesen World. Lawless Wesen can literally get away with murder...when there is no way to prosecute them in a Human Court without presenting facts that would reveal their Wesen abilities. There is no 'Wesen Court' in Portland for Nick to turn over lawless Wesen to. What would you suggest Nick do...turn a blind eye to dangerous Wesen who were harming or killing others?

The person who ordered her killed was her own Nick. And how many people had Juliette killed? Granted, some of them were in self defense...but not Kelly, and Juliette was as responsible for her death as the ones who did the deed. Nick covered up Juliette's other killings...do you think that Nick should have arrested her and let the courts decide? Juliette had threatened to kill Adalind and his child, in a police station, in front of witnesses. Nick knew that Juliette had killed others, so he had reason to believe that she would kill Adalind and the baby too. Juliette also used her powers to try to kill Monroe...should he have arrested her for attempted murder? HowtobeaGrimm also wrote: In the Pilot when Aunt Marie warned Nick he should leave Juliette, would we ever have thought the person who would order Juliette killed would turn out 4 seasons later to be Nick himself? Yes, and would we ever have thought that sweet Juliette would turn into a crazed homicidal Hexenbiest who torched the Trailer and could make people's heads explode?
