Why did Thorne Alliser and the Night’s Watch stab Jon Snow in ‘Game of Thrones’?

One of Game of Thrones’ most iconic narrative surprises was the Night’s Watch mutiny. When Jon Snow allowed the wildlings to enter, some of his own men turned against him and stabbed him to death. Ser Alliser Thorne, the commander of the mutineers, justified his conduct by citing the threat posed by the wildlings.

How many times was Jon Snow stabbed?

He was stabbed four (or five) times, but that isn’t always fatal, especially in light of other obvious POV deaths (Bran and Arya come to mind). I had Jon’s “death” spoiled for me, so my view of how his chapter ended may have been influenced by this. However, I believe the last sentence indicates that Jon’s assassination attempt was thwarted by White Walkers.
