Walt is an evil sociopathic bastard who doesn't hesitate to kill anybody who crosses his path. He was perfectly fine with Todd killing the kid on the motorbike. He was perfectly fine with poisoning Brock. He was perfectly fine with watching Jesse's girlfriend die right in front of him when he could have easily saved her. He was perfectly fine with ordering Jesse to kill Gail, a guy who admired Walt and desperately sought his approval.
I don't see how anybody can say he is NOT a purely evil monster.

Just to play devil's advocate--
I don't think he was fine with Todd killing the kid, but once done, it's done. Not exactly like there was anything he could do about it.
I don't think he intended to kill Brock and poisoned him with something deadly but treatable. If he really wanted him dead, he could of used the ricin.
In a way, letting Jesse's girlfriend die was saving Jesse. I saw his lack of action there as not so much not caring about her, but wanting to get Jesse away from the junkies that would end up killing him.
Gail was purely self-preservation. Walt would have been dead. The gun was literally pointed at his head.
