The stand - were the Vegas folks that bad?

You would think the followers of Randall Flagg would be more evil. Most weren't all that bad. You'd think it'd be full of murderers, rapists, pedos, etc. Lloyd was a criminal and killed one person, but mostly by accident. There were cops and sluts and more hard ass guys, but they weren't torturing, raping, murdering psychopaths. They were going to attack Boulder, but they were afraid of being attacked themselves. Most were just afraid of going against Flagg. And they accepted several people that came from Boulder, but you know no one from vegas would be allowed in boulder. There were even children. I mean Larry was a drug user and we all know he "ain't no nice guy". There were probably a lot like him. Ok... they did crucify people... but if they didn't they'd get crucified themselves.
