Krillin killed a bunch of five-minute old Saibamen.
Gohan killed Cell Jrs.
Vegeta killed planets.
Bulma shot a kid in the face.
EDIT: On the subject of Jaco the character, does he have any reaction to the fact that the Saiyan kid he failed to kill is fighting Frieza? And blue?

Well, doesn't Jaco also threaten to annihilate all life on Earth? I haven't actually read it (I need to! I was looking for it in Kinokuniya, but it looks like I can only get it online.)
Jaco doesn't seem like he really cares much about the stuff he's supposed to be protecting.
The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!A protagonist behaves like an asshole?! Not in mah Dragon Ball!
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.So, to go to another topic.
In the Broly movies, how exactly did Frieza miss Broly and Paragus? I mean, it seemed like he stayed to watch the beautiful fireworks. Did he not see the little green bubble in the debris? Or turn his scouter on to check behind himself? Cooler was in the solar system too, supposedly, so.
How did Paragus and Broly get away from that alive? Because Broly had been stabbed and they can't actually fly faster than the speed of light and I don't know how close the nearest inhabitable planet to Planet Vegeta would be, but they would both have needed medical attention and food and sleep eventually.
Yes I know the movies don't make sense. Shush. Half the fun of things that don't make sense is poking them with a stick.
Planets are huge. That little green bubble would have been completely invisible from Frieza's perspective.

Well, it is. But the amount of ki you have doesn't necessarily translate into the amounts of Genki you have. In fact, the series portrays everyone as giving the same level of Genki whenever the spirit bomb is used, so you have Joe Everyman contributing the same amount of power as one of the "Z-Fighters".
Infanticide and blowing up planets is okay in DBZ because death (And everything else horrific) is so cheap it's pretty much of no consequence.
Frieza murdering Krillin, Vegeta, and Dende was the equivalent of a playground bully knocking down your sandcastle.
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!Maybe because Toriyama hadn't had enough gin that day to figure out the afterlife as it was established in DBZ yet.
My various fanfics.

Bulma is literally the only reason the cast is alive after the Android Saga.
Hell, she's the only reason the Android Saga could even be a thing instead of the story of Dragonball ending at The History of Trunks.
