He also basically tortured Moloch for no reason. No matter how many times Moloch told him he didn’t have the information. He just repeatedly beat the shit out of a dying old man for information the old man didn’t have.
A dying old man yes, but no less an evil bastard for it. The problem is that Rorschach was deluded by Ozymandias. The evidence he had about the death of a friend pointed to Moloch. He pursued the lead. And like any human, he got angry because someone he’d respected had been murdered and thought he had a lead on the murderer. And the murderer was someone who’d killed in the past.

“Any human” would not repeatedly beat the shit out of a guy who kept insisting he had no information.
