Where was HIS trial? Anyone else think that Ned was acting a

He was a filthy deserter. Well deserved.

He was a deserter and broke his oath to the Night's Watch. It's instant death penalty.

He was a deserter and it's punishable by death, but he should have been sent back to the wall to be tried and executed there.
Then at least before he died he could tell everyone about what he saw and they'd probably believe him.

He deserted. Wasn't he the one that saw the White Walker btw?

that's a shitty chopping block, the sword is going straight into the stones at the bottom

the men sent to the night watch are generally done so as an alternative to the death sentence. they're not allowed to run away just because they may die. that's the point of it being a replacement for execution

How the fuck did he end up south of the wall anyway? Why didn't he just go abck to castle black?

Seriously fucking this
It shows how even though the first few seasons were good even then Dabid and Dabid made terrible changes that made no sense.

He was a deserter, most of these men take the black to avoid justice for crimes like stealing, rape, and murder and don't have the luxury of deciding they don't want to be men of the Night's Watch anymore. The Night's Watch was their second chance, they don't get a third. It's harsh, but necessary.
