From one of the clips, it looks as if Finn is going to be in denial about what happened. That might turn some people even more against him. However, it would not be an uncommon aspect of human nature for Finn to do that. It's a defense mechanism. There are two reasons for Finn to adopt this attitude of justification.

First, Finn felt powerless at the hands of Tristan and the other warriors. That probably led him to rethink his pacifist idealism, which got crushed to pieces,. It looks like Finn now  believes that you have to be a hard ass and do whatever becomes necessary in order to survive. If he gives that up, he becomes vulnerable and powerless again, and he doesn't want to go back there.

Second, he has to deny that reality because to acknowledge that he went too far would force him to face his conscience. For someone like Finn that would be a very painful prospect.

I haven't seen the episode yet, but if Finn, indeed, is in denial, I'd say this could be why.
