Don't forget Andy Dick in the alley who looked like a heinous, bootleg William.
I'm actually working on an essay myself on "real" evil in the Buffyverse. Also, what of the slayer earlier in the Faith arc, who was killing slayers for practice or whatever the hell she was doing. The initial purpose of the slayer was to protect people from vampires who aren't necessarily evil, per se, but hunters of someone lesser on the food chain. But now that there is a significant number of these super human females, who will keep them in check? Clearly their view of good, bad or evil is skewed, and now they are something to be regulated--more so than vamps, because they are more apart of humanity. A lion who kills a human for whatever reason is less reprehensible (or not at all, really) than a human who viciously murders another human.
Also, it probably looks way worse since this is post Angel (the seemingly) vampire and his band of demons saved the day for LA.
