Regardless, the Punisher is mostly motivated by \\\"take out the rage on people I will feel good about\\\", \\\"let\\\'s purge the Earth of anyone I don\\\'t like\\\", \\\"screw the system and that determining guilt is a strenous investigation, just kill anyone in my path and most of them should fit the label\\\", and of course DisproportionateRetribution for a lot of his victims, plenty of whom probably weren\\\'t nearly as bad as himself. If he strictly surgically investigated and discretely assassinated the worst of the worst of those beyond the reach of the system he would have a much better argument for being neutral, but in reality his kind of thinking leads to third world vengeance-driven feuding militias, or at the very least neverending Vendetta mob and biker wars.

As Garth Ennis said right at the start of his long run, only \\\"morons\\\" think that putting torture- and massmurder vigilantism into system is a workable idea, and he even parodied a few of the types (\\\"the Elite\\\" and some others)... I\\\'d recommend reading DeathNote right to the end speech to get over the notion. SoYeah views are definitely split on whether Punisher is of crusading evil or neutral alignment.
