Funny enough, DForce is correct.
Its explained why they do that in many parts of the game even before you get to Abby's part. WLF is at war with The Scars. Issac their leaders has NO issue killing even WLF members for disobeying orders and hates traders.
Owen in the very first part of the game talks about the size of Jackson, he also states he has a kid on the way. None of this makes sense in the very beginning because ITS NOT SUPPOSE TO, that is something later solved thru context of the game.
So Owen's character only wants an eye for an eye for several reasons. He doesn't want the ENTIRE FUCKING TOWN OF JACKSON looking for revenge for them killing a bunch of people, making it 1 person cause doubt and allows the town to weight in if such a personal conflict is WORTH the whole town going to war. (This is actually questioned many times in letters based on FEDRA fighting WLF, fighting SCARS etc)
WLF is already fighting Scars and its making them use up a lot of resources, they don't need ANOTHER WAR sucking up resources and Owen now having a child doesn't want to be on Issac's hit list for doing something like getting them involved with a war with another town. Ultimately, Owens caring about some lone scar he didn't want to see die for no reason, cause Issac to even start hunting him down, to the point where Owen is actually getting the boat ready to FLEE......
So reading the many notes about FEDRA, WLF and Scars and even other groups and groups without labels so to speak, this idea of holding off on revenge or not getting many people involved based on thinking of the COLLECTIVE FIRST, happens often in the game, to the point where you understand WHY Owen says this when you get to many parts of the game were they see how Issac behaves, when they see how WLF is losing in its fight with the Scars and when you read that such a choice was made by FEDRA and WLF members many times in hopes of not causing a war with some rival group that they couldn't afford.

Nah, just stop...sooooo much of those leaks were fake and pure false flag fanfiction its not even funny.
Just a few...
"- Homophobic Christians are the main enemy" Scars are not a "Christian" group and are not even the "main enemy", the theme of the game is so complex, that the "main enemy" can be seen as many, many different sides tbh. At some point, folks from JACKSON are the "main enemy". So Scars is never the main 100% focus and they are not a "christian" group.
"- So Ellie (lesbo) and anyone else who isn't straight are public enemies #1 " No where in the game does any character base some sort of revenge or see someone as a "enemies" purely based on being straight even remotely...
"- Dina who is bi, gets killed and Ellie goes for revenge" Funny too, she doesn't get killed.
Mystery women is Ellie's mom LMFAO!
She has a baby with a man that is immune
Ellie ends up with a Scar girl friend
So many funny leaks like this make me laugh that anyone was
DUMB enough to base buying a game, based on someone else making something up. Imagine people like that existing, smh. Sounds sad to me.
Loved The Last Of Us 2, easily my favorite game of all time. btw, looking at the comments, I've seen enough of your post to know to add you to the ignore list going forward, I did however think your post deserved a response and examples.
