Amon was pretty crafty, getting that leader to be the first of his public bending removals.

But then, he inadvertently got Bolin. I was on the edge of my seat, during the episode, wondering what Amon would do if Bolin didn't fight. It was an unexpected situation, for him, wasn't it? Can't you just picture his thoughts, while Bolin was talking:

Would it be a blow to his liberator image to "victimize" someone who wasn't openly aggressive? Should he talk, and try to convince the earthbender that submitting was the right thing to do? Would it make him appear soft? But it might lend so much validity to his argument, if a bender willingly went along with it. ..

I got the feeling he wasn't going to "go for the kill" right off the bat.

Then Korra and Mako had to ruin the moment.
