The guys can protect themselves. I never said that they couldn't. However, try to see Leo's point of view. He is the leader. As a leader, you are almost guaranteed to be the least liked. Everyone is against you, good or bad. As the eldest brother, he feels responsible for the wellbeing of his brothers so he will do whatever is necessary to protect them. In terms of Karai, I think she is just toying with Leo. I feel like he still believes there is good in her somewhere. He is still trying to get her to see the light. I don't think that she will listen, at least not right away. In some cases, she has already started to question Shredder. That being said, she holds a grudge because of the Turtles going after Shredder when there was supposed to be a temporary alliance and she holds Leo personally responsible. So despite his efforts, her anger and hatred is clouding her better judgment. I'm not sure if she is outright "bad" or not. That remains to be seen. Karai has always been a very mysterious character.
