Someone last week made a comment about how Snow killed all those people in battle, how is this different? I tend to agree. Cora was a casualty of war. You could compare her destruction to that of Hitler. Snow needs to see it from that point of view, which goes back to Rumples original comment.
I agree… Cora had to die or everyone else would have, probably including Regina. When Neal gave her the choice in the shop, Regina or the dagger, Cora went for the dagger. However, I think Snow’s biggest issue is not with Cora dying, it was deceiving Regina into causing it. She may have felt bad for a while over killing Cora directly, say in hand to hand combat or whatever, but getting Regina to do the dirty work was a trick worthy of Cora herself. Instead of murder making you as dark as the one you kill, I think you have to BE as dark as the one you INTEND to kill.
