The Absolute Worst Thing Jax Teller Did On Sons Of Anarchy

Stepping up to the plate to preside over SAMCRO meant Jax had to look out for himself, his family, and the whole club, keeping them safe by whatever means necessary. Those means usually involved murder — warranted or not. We're certainly not going to downplay the deaths that Jax was directly responsible for, and it's worth noting that at least a few of these were completely unnecessary and kind of heartbreaking. Take, for instance, Wayne Unser (Dayton Callie). Charming's Chief of Police and SAMCRO ally for most of the club's residents in town, Wayne had terminal cancer and was already on his way out when Jax shot and killed him on season 7. The reason? Wayne was going to arrest Jax's mother, Gemma (Katey Sagal), in order to prevent Jax from killing her, too.
Then there was Jury White (Michael Shamus Wiles), the President of SAMCRO's Indian Hills, Nevada charter. A longtime friend of Jax's father, John, Jury was nothing but loyal to the club... up until Jax had his son killed in order to cover up another crime. Jury confronted Jax about not only what happened to his son, but also about the man that Jax had become. So, of course, Jax shot and killed him.
