Dude. It is a zombie apocalypse. Clearly Shane is treating this as a kind of total war. Hell, I think he almost likes it. Everyone else seems to define Shane's behavior though. Everyone else hesitates and second guesses and worries about each others' feelings. Shane has to step up. He has to be the brutal one, the one that would do the dirty work. He threw his morality out the window. Plus, we don't really know much about any of the characters from their past and shit. It's unfair to dismiss Shane outright if we're not going to do the same for the other characters.
Truthfully, Rick is the ONLY character we've got that we can deduce his motivations reasonably. Save for him, all the characters seem to have the same amount of flesh.
