According to what I see this morning on ATOT, it seems the proper response is to kick down the door.

Two weeks ago I opoened the door to a dude that was selling his first album. 9 songs and a cover printed with an inkjet printer from 1989. The guy won the "Discovery of 2015" at some village music festival.

I was in boxers with a cup of coffee and it was a sunday at 7:46am...

It's when I open the door to this that I feel damn ok to ignore the next 4-5 knock-knocks...

Did you buy it? Were his jams sufficiently being out-kicked? Did he offer you a handie?

If you put up a poster that says "No Solicitors" and they choose to ignore it then I would not consider it rude ignore them.

A few weeks ago some girl selling something must have knocked for 3 or 4 mins. She'd ring the bell, wait a few seconds and knock and then yell out "hello?", and repeat. I was still cleaning and had gloves on so I finally asked my brother to check. I don't know if she was hot or something cause he stood there and listened to her whole pitch.

If that's rude then I suppose I'm right there with you. We have cameras around the house (one at the front door) so I don't even have to get up from the computer to see who it is.

He killed 2 people in the first episode.
He killed one of those two later, actually (Krazy-8). He hit two more with his Aztec and then finished them off with bullets.

Of course he was directly responsible for the death of Gus, Hector "Tio" Salamanca, and Tyrus. Anyone who thinks Tio set that bomb off with the bell is an idiot who can't think critically (Why was Walt still there? Why did Tio have to ring so many times? How, even, would you electrically connect a bell to a bomb?! The bell was obviously Walt's signal for remote detonation, which explains everything).

He left and immediately killed two more henchmen. He later killed Mike. Much earlier the episode "Fly" makes it clear that Jane's season 2 death was on his hands (He deliberately let her die after he disturbed her and made her roll). He paid to have all those prisoners killed. As shown in the GIF, he killed a bunch of Nazis. He poisoned Lydia.

Walt hurt PLENTY of people.
