When he found out that the demon that killed his Mary was gathering an army of human soldiers, willingly turned - not possessed - his morality was torn. His job was to kill the monsters - that one monster specifically. Humans were a different matter entirely. When he heard the rumour than they were demon-enhanced psychic killing machines, he felt better. That was well within the realms of monster, he could kill that. When he found out about Sammy's visions - when realisation dawned - the decision was long made and the horror of it all settled over him like a cloud.
AN: Linked closely with
Broken Promises and
His Own Son. I often wonder why John was so surprised when he found out about Sam's visions. He had to have known something similar was coming. He knew what was planned. Maybe you can pick up a blind spot when you don't want something to happen strongly enough.
AN2: Left this short with the lyrics "Psychic killers, Qu'est ce que c'est? Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na" in my head. Talking Heads. Win.
