Hee. I absolutely love that you're watching the show. :)
I don't think Veronica is amoral by any means or that her own morals aren't consistent with society or her age, I just find it interesting that she only chooses to exercise her morals when it fits with her current worldview. She barely hesitated to turn Logan in to the sheriff when she thought he may have killed Lilly, but she has just about the same amount of evidence that Weevil killed Thumper, and she's not going to do anything about it? It comes down to whether or not she thought that Thumper deserved to die, and whether he deserved justice for what happened to him.
Actually, that's what it's really about, is Veronica's relationship with justice and finding out the truth. She only wants to get to the truth when it fits inside her box of what things should be like.
Also, I don't think Lilly deserved to die, either. She didn't. But I don't think Thumper necessarily deserved it, though, at least not in the way it happened. I guess, maybe for Veronica, it doesn't matter whether the Fitzpatricks get him or the justice system does, so long as the guilty guy gets what's coming to him. And that fits everything we know about Veronica's character pretty well.
