( that's forgetting his own death, even. the kind of bullshit he's seen joker pull after. just the crap he saw as a kid was enough to make jason realize some people really do deserve to die. that not everything can be fixed by bars or drugs. that a bullet would save so many other lives in a lot of cases.
