Enjolras makes a small, ambiguous gesture. "A man, not of our society, who thought he was doing good by it."

He's not going to mention Valjean's name -- either name. It's a complicated matter. He understands, to some extent, why Valjean chose as he did, why he couldn't bear to see a man die without trying to prevent it, why he couldn't bear to see another man become a murderer without trying to prevent it. All the same, he wishes heartily that Javert were safely dead. That was true even before Javert's latest revelation.

He won't say deserves. That's not for any one man to judge, he thinks. But earned -- yes, certainly. Javert chose to act as he did, and he earned a bullet for it.
