I believe 3 is the case.. And that this is the ONLY reason why what they did wasn't wrong-If it were 1 and/or 2, it was definitely wrong.

Well, it's not the only reason, but it's a foundational/necessary reason, as in, if it weren't there, it topples the whole thing down, and it's wrong.

Another reason is that the monster crossed the Barrier.. Meaning they're somewhere that they shouldn't be. The Barrier was made for a reason, after all... And trespassing is a crime. So they already DID have direct evidence that Asriel was bad-His very presence on the Surface!!

If Asriel stole the SOUL, a crime was committed. If Asriel and Chara conspired to invade the Surface, a crime was committed. If Chara gave Asriel their SOUL, and Asriel just abused it to cross the barrier.. you guessed it... a crime was committed.

And Chara intended on using their full power. For all we know, that could have put Asriel in a menacing state, before Asriel started to resist. But I'm not going to say that it was, because Chara/Asriel deserve the benefit of the doubt. At the same time, I'm not going to say that it wasn't, because the humans that attacked also deserve the benefit of the doubt. So if we're judging the humans, we assume Chasriel did look menacing, and if we're judging Chara and Asriel themselves, we assume they didn't. That is, until we find evidence supporting one side.

Asriel was retreating to the mountain. I believe the humans just wanted him to leave and get this over with. Why follow him? It might look like they're chasing him!
