Blaster's death scene

Hey guys, I just figured that it's kind of weird that Blaster gets killed. I mean isn't murder and violence forbidden in Barter Town unless it's inside the Thunderdome? Yeah Blaster dies there, but not by the hands of a man inside the Thunderdome. He gets killed by Ironbar (?) who is OUTSIDE of Thunderdome. Wouldn't that be illegal? I mean it was only the right of Max to kill Blaster and not the right of a henchman.

Yes I know why Aunty killed him etc but it should still count as a broken law, shouldn't it?

Yes I agree but Ms. Turner wrote the rules and now she is breaking them to get what she wants. Control over Energy and saving Max's life.

It's possible losing in Thunderdome means your life is forfeit, regardless of whether the opponent still wants to kill you or not. If so that would make his execution legal.

Well, 2 men enter, one man leaves. Max won so he was the one to leave. Ironbar was just following the rules.
